nigelhicks Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 other than those tight taped sections and Cedrics 2 jumps the track is identical
nigelhicks Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 so I wonder if anyone will hit the huck line I saw when we did trackwalk ... was keen to try it but we came in too slow as the entry is tight and rocky
nigelhicks Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 worst corner on the track .... http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12638415/p5pb12638415.jpg and then a section where you feel like you are surfing or skiing ... so steep you cant stop, but just powder corner after powder corner ... amazing http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12638431/p5pb12638431.jpg

nigelhicks Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 How big a huck would that be? this is the section from the other direction ... so huck is on the left of the pic from the top rock to land on the rooty bank in the foreground - its about 4m but 2 to 3m drop down ... and is sketchy as hell. But you come in with zero speed
ED young master Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 this is the section from the other direction ... so huck is on the left of the pic from the top rock to land on the rooty bank in the foreground - its about 4m but 2 to 3m drop down ... and is sketchy as hell. But you come in with zero speed Ah ah ... you and I (and i supppose 99% of the masters field) come in with zero speed, let's see the elites now ! And by the way, what do you call "French lines" ?

Capricorn Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 loving the way Sam Hill is just wafting the inside lines. makes it look so darn easy. Bit of a feeling he is still cruising, but still, pure class.loving the economy of his line choices.
