[nigelhicks]

The new top section is awesome!

[BushGoblin]

[patches]

very cool Nige! awesome work!

[nigelhicks]

gotta love the haters overseas on some of the other forums absolutely slating the track! ... bloody keyboard jockeys! hahahaha

[Capricorn]

no worries Nige. awesome job!

 

btw: did u solicit feedback from the riders on what they liked/didnt like? care to share?

[nigelhicks]

they loved the top ... loved the tables ... loved the bottom from teh Airodrome gap down ... kaked themselves at the size of the Moneymaker ...

 

and HATED the pedal! ....

 

i heard (and this is just hearsay ... i didint see the interview) that Gwin rated it as one of his top 3 ... cus he loves the speed of it.

 

Some of the guys (cant say who) suggested to keep it on the ridgelline like i have done to remove the one little pedal section.

 

But ya they all enjoyed the top of the track ...

[nigelhicks]

but then there were also the haters ... MAtti, Joe, Gee .... (2 are brits ... what a surprise! ... hahahaha)

[Capricorn]

hahaha... fair enough. But yeah, Gwinny seemed to like the track quite a bit. I remember Gee's rather dikbek interview.. but you cant please everyone all the time.

Cant wait for the race!

Looking good, Nige...

[nigelhicks]

was watching some of the old videos from last year ... loved Josh Brycelands comment on the track. ...

 

Sven asks "So what do you think of the track here?"

 

Ratboy replies ... "Its mint, then its **** then its mint!"

 

hahahaha perfect sum up ....
