We finished the boardwalk part of the twister a couple of weeks ago on a beautiful autumn afternoon, which turned into evening by the time we were done. We knew this corner was going to be tight, but after 1 hour of kango action and a couple of test rides we came to the conclusion that this corner is very very tight, so after another hour on the kango we were just able to sneak around. Up hill needs a steady hand and smooth pedal control and down hill requires a very minor readjust of the rear wheel to get the exit just right.
Before anyone complains about The Twister or Ratchet Canyon been a bit tough remember this is an expert level track, up and down, meant to test your skills and improve them, all the obstacles have been ridden both ways more than once, so they are possible.

When the blogmiester says that riding down The Twister requires a "slight adjustment of the rear wheel", he means you have to do a small front wheel stand and swing the rear wheel around by at least a foot.
It's weird; you have to do that riding down, but not when riding up?!
How many Rickys or Kennetts were harmed in the making of this track?
