Headshot Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 http://www.pinkbike.com/news/crankworx-les-gets-downhill-track-preview.html This looks like something to watch - I think there will be a live feed of sorts on PB. I recon a track like this will turn the field on its head...
Stretch Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I would love the WC circuit to go back there....looks like it is going to test the riders skill down to a T
Eldron Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 That is one odd track. Looks like someone just ran downhill trailing bunting tape.... I'm all for "natural courses" but that is a little bare for my liking.
Eldron Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Doesn't look too bad to ride though: https://dirtmountainbike.com/videos/crankworx-les-gets-downhill-course-preview.html

I'm all for "natural courses" but that is a little bare for my liking. always been like that - steep and fast..its a different type of course..all about bike handling as opposed to choosing the best lines
popcorn_skollie Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Looks like Schladming. Just needs to be ridden in.That mud though...
Eldron Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 always been like that - steep and fast..its a different type of course..all about bike handling as opposed to choosing the best lines I guess it makes sense for a "different" experience - I do think it fits a specific rider though. It's all off camber mud and a few jumps. World Cup courses have much more variety which rewards a "well rounded" rider. My opinion of course - each to their own...
Duane_Bosch Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I guess it makes sense for a "different" experience - I do think it fits a specific rider though. It's all off camber mud and a few jumps. World Cup courses have much more variety which rewards a "well rounded" rider. My opinion of course - each to their own...That track drops almost 700m. If you think that's not a test of a rider you are deluded. What you don't get from the pictures and video's is just how steep that mountain is and how slick the mud is. It takes 2 ski lifts to get to the top of Mont Cheri. In the "normal" riding season you can only access the bottom half of the mountain. The top lift is for walkers only.
Duane_Bosch Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Beautiful place!Taking the roadie bikes and the red head there is Sept. Yeeee!
Simon123 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Amazing. This looks epic - should definitely have a WC there.
