The only real consideration is that if a rider were to get run off of the track thay actually had a safe journy onto the grass. IE didn't have to bump down a 6" ledge. as long as its graded on the way down its cool.
I'm being told by the builder it is OK and he's not going to remove it. Plus the council's Health and Safety people are happy with it.
can't see it makes any difference?we couldn't have it flat at the edges at crewe because the track runs downhill the whole track would have to slope from side to side

the track has been built to my design but with the middles left in it will fail .....
