Red Bull Hardline

[Stretch]

Would have dug to have watched this...looks like something that is going to get more and popular every year in the off season

 

a summary video in here:

Someone finally listened to what the riders actually want in a course. That thing is bonkers and that natural stuff is just ridiculous. Would make the sickest world cup track ever.

when pros say they are nervous....then you know its gnarly

Amazing! ... Thats really really hardcore

 

But to reply to Google - that would be a cool World Cup level track if they removed the large Booters at the bottom and the road gap .... or at least put lines around them for the juniors and ladies. The freeride element is always a bit dangerous as you need specific and precise speeds to land stuff like that perfectly ... So you may actually need to slow down into a jump - something that often may be a bit dangerous to do if you mis-judge it.

 

I think that would be good for the top boys but you would see a ton of casualties on that track if you had the usual 400 odd riders at a World Cup giving it a go.

 

Loving the natural stuff though ... looks similar to Meribel this year and what Lourdes will be like for season opener next year

That's just insaaaaaane!

 

When Hart had that bollock-shrinking squeal at the one large double - that's when you know they're at the limit, and not sure if they'll make it.
