After riding the Phantom's Revenge.....

Well, this year they put trim brakes before the double-down. After riding it without them, whats your guys' opinions on this addition? The brakes actually go from the bottom of the hill to right before it doubles down. There use to be a lot of speed going into this element, but people complained that it hurt, so that's most likely the reason why they added the brakes. What do you think Robb/Elissa?

 

Heres a pic I took yesterday when I went.

They lead from the bottom of the hill to here. I would say theres about 6 or 7.

I thought that the ride was just as good with the brakes as it was without them, I still got a lot of air though.

 

(Psst... Don't let them push the bar down tight on your legs for extra air!)

Oh, I know I've learned that over the years.

Yeah, it's all about pushing your knee up against it when they come around to check!
