Who here has cleaned it?

Some of our locals were posting on the club board, how none of them had
cleaned it during a trip out west. Feck, these were some of our better
riders.

They said the guys riding it on Fagerlin's site made it look easy.

We suck!!

I cleaned it!

On my feet. :P

I've cleaned it, but that was at least 6 years ago, and it was easier.
Easier enough that the last few times I've tried it, I bailed pretty early.
Erosion happens!

BTW, there are plenty of guys/gals who are much better riders than I, so
I would imagine that the list of guys/gals who have cleaned it back then
and perhaps even more recently is pretty large.

We suck, for sure. Then again, if you had that kind of terrain to ride 'all'
the time.

I've cleaned it more than once. Last Winter, Angry Man cleaned it in
the snow on a rigid bike. It was quite the amazing feat.

It has also claimed quite a few victories on the locals as well. The
Mutant broke a bone there, as did Angry once as well. I've heard of
more injuries on it, though was only witness to the aforementioned
outcomes.

Has anyone of smaller frame cleaned it? In watching the folks I ride
with, it's much easier for a 6'+ person to heave their bike over and
around obstacles. It just seems like it takes me twice the effort to do
what the larger folk do. Yes, I know skill has a lot to do with it.
Track stands, trial maneuvers, and what not. However, every video and
pic I have seen of people even attempting it have been bigger framed people.
