We built some framework for the shore corner on saturday and kept it raised as the ground was so boggy which now leads directly into a cambered right-hand corner. After that though there's quite a gap. What do you reckon should go in the space to keep the shore flowy/exciting? Need ideas!

(the shore needs to head left towards a gap in the trees but there are no contours to work with)...

Hmmm, a few gaps would be good, maybe a nice split table, or a big kicker to landing / wallride like at the bottom of Esher. Maybe a roller coaster style bit to have a bit of pump fun on the flat?

Yes i had thought of a bit of a roller coaster too. Whatever it is, it needs to be raised above the ground as it's super boggy.

Sounds good. Am not sure what the speed wil be like out of the double-back corner yet but don't think it'll be huge so reckon something to pump? Not sure what material we'd need to build something like that though? Will have to include gaps/kickers further down for sure Twisted Evil

What do you reckon on a fast step-up to box-drop roller-coaster line following the mud step-down to the right of the existing shore? Could be sick Cool

Sorry mate couldn't make it in the end cos of visitors. How did it go?

With that idea were you thinking that to be after the boggy patch through the trees? There's a bit of a gap between the double corner and that which i don't know what to do with either!
