nigelhicks Posted June 8, 2011 Share you referring to VDS? You been there? VDS???? I was referring to the Fort Bill Track. Was there for 2007 Worlds! Mad track! They have changed some small sections at the top but much of it is still the same as when i was there! That top is mad! and to think its ALL pretty much man-made! If you stray off the track by 1m you walking in ankle-deep bog, covered in midges! Its just such a wheel breaker! hitting into those rounded rocks!

nigelhicks Posted June 8, 2011 Share the middle section after the big wall ride where it gets tight is ****! Its flat (not as flat as PMB ... but still flat ... ) and difficult to carry speed before the motorway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted June 8, 2011 Share maybe the race was won by the dreaded pedalling - Tracey still in good form post-Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted June 8, 2011 Share maybe the race was won by the dreaded pedalling - Tracey still in good form post-Epic. YIP im sure it was - Danny was up on greg the whole way down till the course flattened out after the wall ride you see in the video! At this point you still have a GOOD 1:15 to go and although its no where near as flat as our track here you still have to bury yourself that WHOLE time!

Capricorn Posted June 9, 2011 Share For those interested in some numbers (BB height, HA, chainstay length, bike weight etc), DirtTV did us the solid at fort bill: http://video.mpora.com/watch/BZrPMVf11/ So Danny Hart is rocking essentially a proto Glory 0. interesting.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 9, 2011 Share Full carbon, by the looks of things. Also has a HUUUUUGE overhang on the toptube, and one of the ancillary pivots is off the hanging toptube as well?! Looks pretty cool from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
