Yeah don't be fooled by that video. Those trails are faaaaaaaaaaaarking steep. I rode/Slid on my arse down them last year. Eye opener for sure.

Oh I'm not fooled. That looks plenty steep to me thankyouverymuch.

I'm gonna be taking my Reign next year. Get a real feeling for what it's like to ride a single crown over there.

I'm scared that I'll just get freaked out by the pure speed of that place! I mean, the transition at G-Spot between the top road gap and the Hilltop feels really fast already. Wooboy....

And I've come to the sad realisation that even though your jumps feel like this in first person view:

 

 

in reality they're more like this:

Ja you go damn fast but the trails are wide.

 

The bike parky trails are EXACTLY like the G Spot except for the following things

1. Ski lifts
   
2. The trails are about 10 times longer
   
3. They are much steeper
   
4. The trails are wider
   
5. The jumps are bigger
   

Apart from those small details it's pretty much the same.

Focus on the "I" in my statement. This young grasshopper has much to learn of the ways of the flying men.

Pah, sounds like a cakewalk...

 

Haha, well I take solace in the fact that I'm still on a very steep learning curve. Jumps don't worry me since I can just ride around the scary ones. It's coming off in a corner at 50kph that get's me all hot and bothered.

Don't stress. All the stuff is suuuuuper well built. So as long as you ride within yourself you'll be fine.

 

You do go fast tho. And it's quite the opposite of here. There to go fast you just let off the brakes. Hence my obsession with Hopes.
