How to Tackle Steep Decents on a Mountain Bike from Manly Dam.

We are using our standard methodology -- attitude, speed/line and actions.
Our attitude will determine the speed and line we take; and those combined will determine the actions we need make to execute the maneuver.

You need to study the terrain to ascertain the line you will take and to ensure in this situation has a good finishing area to roll out.

If it's your first time, then I suggest a slower speed through the maneuver, which is how I will tackle this.
