I'm looking for some ideas for a freeride mountain biking trail. Like ladder jump to a ladder bridge to a 10ft drop. And ladder to teeter-totter to ladder to drop. So if anybody has some cool/creative variations it would help. Videos and Pictures would help even more! But nothing extremely crazy.

Oh sick, I didn't know they had that at Bolton Valley. The only place I knew of was Highland Mountain.

It was posted on pinkbike a few times and, of course, on the RAGE Films website. I've known about it for a while and I'm sure many other skiers and bikers do. And um... Mike Metzger is crazy.
