[Contego Segment Hunter]

We’re excited to reveal the first segment in our new online video series titled ‘Contego Segment Hunter’. As the name suggests the series is all about Strava Segments. We’ll be looking for the gnarliest, toughest or just plain coolest sections of road, dirt or trail to unleash our chosen challenger on.

that trail is riding beautifully since the refurb. Hoping to improve my position just outside the top 50 (yes I'm showing off)

I fear it is a bit slower after the refurb - those little kickers really give you a skop when you're doing over 30km/h

I have to agree the first line is a bit dodgier, couple of low hanging branches as well. Took my pump out of my camelback the other day.

Swings and roundabouts. The sharp kickers do slow you down but the rest of the trail can be balls to the wall.

 

Or whatever the female version of that is.

Balls to the Wall

 

Term used by pilots. when accelerating quickly, the throttle is pushed all the way to the panel and the throttle lever (ball) actually touches the panel (wall). Hence, balls to the wall.
