Love your work Nige! Any relation to Dr Evil......? That really looks awesome. When are you guys planning to start riding the course?

[nigelhicks]

i will add in a google image later of all spectator points - spectator paths etc. for you guys ... you can take your own happy snaps ... but if you want to get in to the closed off media-only areas to shoot you need to be accreditied with the UCI - no idea how you do that!!

cant make the jump any higher than it is as the run in is pretty flat. But going to make the catch berm a square berm so you slide into it - it wont be a rail berm thats nicely concave! Wanting it to cause some big drifts

 

that will be something to watch!!

The top of the course (Cloud 9 etc) is rideable now - should be properly finished by Friday

Haibo's catch berm will be shaped this weekend

The new tabletop section on the N3 will also be finished off this weekend

 

Then its just putting down granite base on the pedal and making the landing of the moneymaker steeper! (next weekends job)

 

Dr Evil will remain unchanged from last year!

spectator paths for the world cup track 2012 shown in blue - track is in red

 

remember that there will also be a spectator shuttle that you can catch to the top of the hill for a nominal fee

Those are spectator points! .... the accredited camera positions are within the double taped areas next to the track - if you a spectator you are not allowed into the double taped zones as they are fall zones where the riders may crash ... so they saftey areas .... if you acreddited you have signed a waiver etc saying you wont sue the UCI if you get klapped by a bike ... You will only know where those areas are on the week of racing! ... but dont worry you can get some good pics from outside of the fall areas too!
