Enter the Tin Mine... (Steepest trail in the Santa Anas!)

This is my third attempt descending the steepest trail in the Santa Anas (that I know of) and my first this Fall/Winter season. The Strava segment is Afterburner and on Trailforks it is referred to as Tin Mine. Whatever its called, its freaking steep! The grade on AVERAGE is -31percent over the 930 vertical foot descent. Seems like the most challenging part is the last little bit, as there are some wicked steep sandy slopes with some necessary off camber turns to stay on the trail.  I've come a long way from last year but getting that last bit is going to take some work.
