cool edit from the above track, and also next stop for the UCI DH calendar, but you all knew that already. if you`re not a metal fan, rather watch on silent. if you are, the soundtrack is actually quite sick.

It's also the venue for next years world champs if I'm not mistaken.

Yes it is - both the Masters and Elite Worlds - same as what we had here now

[nigelhicks]

Pity the masters wont be using this track - we will have our own dedicated track for Worlds

this is called the "Rollercoaster"

 

Its another trail in Hafjell - looks like A-line in Whistler ... just with more jumps.

for those of you who like stats

 

The Hafjell DH course drops 480m in 2.2km ....

 

So to put that into Perspective - It is about the same gradient as the Top sector of the PMB track from the start to the Tabletops. So not insanely steep, but there are some steep sections - that one rock garden is STEEP and then there is a right hander in a small wood that is also like a cliff.

remember that Hafjell have Worlds next year - so your best bet is to go over over that period - then you get to ride as well as watch worlds
