Grebel Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Looking good Bros! Nothing like a nice new track to test the riders. Really looking forward to Sunday. Going to be a good days racing.
VicanZA Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 i too old for this.... got scared just watching the run. Grebel and Iwan Kemp 2
Spoke101 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 looks super dry and dustyIt is. We haven't had any rain >10ml since 17th March.
nigelhicks Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Old World Cup track is now an "enduro" track .... or regional DH track. This is the next level .... its amazing
Odinson Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Jeepers. Bone dry track! Doesn't seem like a track that would suit riders who aren't too fond of pedalling.
Super_mil Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Gutted to be missing this one.Track looks rad!  Thanks to all who lifted a spade and created this beastÂ
Grebel Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Jeepers. Bone dry track! Doesn't seem like a track that would suit riders who aren't too fond of pedalling. I'm pretty sure the camera flattens it out a lot as well
nigelhicks Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 you literally put in 2 pedal strokes on the whole track Headshot 1
NicoBoshoff Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Is there much in the form of line choice sections or is it all single track down?
nigelhicks Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Is there much in the form of line choice sections or is it all single track down?There are a good few lines at the top in the first rocks - then its a bit one-lined to the first steep section. Thats pretty tight next to a cliff face so again onelined until you turn onto Timmys section. From there through the cambers there is a lot of line choice over a 3m wide section of cleared track. Then that next rock section has a few lines - then the main cambers are sort of onelined, then the bottom has some different line options. So a bit of both - but it is quite narrow - so you need to be creative to get off the sheep line
Skott5 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 you literally put in 2 pedal strokes on the whole track Maybe we can get a world cup event again with this track ..Â
