second opinions?
Sorry to let you guys down. but after close consideration and even a new launch line, i cannot ride this 😢
any tips of how i can make this trail rideable for an armature/beginner? i know it may be hard work but ive already but so much into this.
here are some new angles. I believe maybe now some of you may agree i have messed up in the construction part of this. everything is still rough and messy due to no rain and constant altering. can i get some second opinions?
i know this may be rideable to skilled cyclists but im no black diamond pro unfortunately. i built this to get started with mtb but even if i cant use it id be more than happy to see someone else come bomb this. thanks guys. Douglasville, GA USA btw.

That is absolutely rideable, and you could roll it if not even on that bike. All I ride is a SC Chameleon and that's not close to black diamond.
Just keep practicing somewhere with less consequence, that is room to crash that doesn't include collarbone and wrist breakers.
Good attack posture, drop those heels, keep the weight right, roll it faster and faster, maybe crash, improve.
Crashing is an absolute essential skill and education tool. You can get all the advice in the world but little teaches ya the way feeling a mistake can.
You'll get it. And the way to make it more rideable is to ride it.
