i like the really coarse coral lookin stuff its usually in a crazy formation with all kinds of deep valleys and undercuts and shit and then to switch it up some really smooth stuff just a few feet way to keep you on your toes |

yea wood isnt cool i mean a few pieces here and there but not as the majority you can make tables and ramps though so you dont have to use quite so many rocks but thats about it other than a few stumps or a mossy log with a sick undercut

On my mountain one of my favorite climbs is a stair set made of foam covered cement with a smooth 60* slope in the middle of it and I throw all the loose dirt and rocks on the stairs from the mountain. I like it because you have to crawl the first 6 or 7 steps by controlling your wheelspeed very carefully then when the timing is right you have to get it and hope the wheels spin fast enought to carry you to next set of stairs then back to slow, carefull, tire placement and throttle control.

Natural rough granite, nice and grippy, but slick if you have too much wheel speed.

I like waterfall type areas. Natural step ups.
