nigelhicks Posted July 15, 2016 Share Old World Cup track is now an "enduro" track .... or regional DH track. This is the next level .... its amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted July 15, 2016 Share Jeepers. Bone dry track! Doesn't seem like a track that would suit riders who aren't too fond of pedalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBoshoff Posted July 15, 2016 Share Is there much in the form of line choice sections or is it all single track down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted July 15, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
