A beautiful regionThe Cheviots, Northumberland yesterday ..a shortened ride due to the extremely windy conditions ..which made Ian's riding on his new Hightower 3 a lot harder than mine ..

No it's just the wet wood is very slippery, where I am they tend to be on short bridges over ditches on a bend usually.I've never seen one of these man-made riding paths in person. Is the chicken wire normal? For traction?
Are riders timed as to when they leave the top? Or...how do you accommodate for a newbie slow rider and an incoming fast rider? Not like you can just stop on the side of the trail, right?
Most cut wood, during a period of extended moisture (so most of the UK in winter and lots of other places) is a perfect place for certain algies, fungi's and other wonderful things to grow. It becomes so slippy that Teflon is jealous.I've never seen one of these man-made riding paths in person. Is the chicken wire normal? For traction?

More people die in the UK from walking on wooden decks in winter than from ecoli (made up, but probably true). Think wet root with oil on it that's been hand polished and then had an extra coat of silicone sprayed liberally all over.
The chicken wire gives grip. It's quite common to apply it also to wooden steps to avoid death.
Used in this fashion, it has no effect at stopping chickens.
Well I'm impressed that was a very technical and accurate explanation of what I tried to say . Are you feeling OK.Most cut wood, during a period of extended moisture (so most of the UK in winter and lots of other places) is a perfect place for certain algies, fungi's and other wonderful things to grow.

Not necessarily; if they flap their wings they could achieve a soft landing and therefore avoid certain death, although there is a possibility that they would be squished by the next e-bike maniac who charged around the corner.it would seem to aid the chickens, who might otherwise fall to their deaths.
Chicken wire is to help grip. This is part of the skills area at One planet adventure Llandegla North wales. It’s an area aside from the trails which has a bit of everything, drops, berms, jumps and the wooden roller coaster. Gives you an insight to what’s out in the trails. I really enjoy the skills area as a warm up before hitting the trails.I've never seen one of these man-made riding paths in person. Is the chicken wire normal? For traction?
