BaGearA Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I've walked down the Leogang track. Would I ride it? Yes. But only when it's perfectly dry, on my 160mm enduro machine with the seat slammed low, skipping all the jumps and with my brakes dragging most of the way down. As Duane as said, it's hard to picture the steepness until you've been there. To us mere mortals, this steepness makes the tech sections in the woods pretty much unrideable in anything less than absolutely perfect conditions. Even then...Fair enough

Odinson Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Gutted for my man Thirion. Had a brutal OTB on the finish line jump and got helivac'd out.
NicoBoshoff Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Gutted for my man Thirion. Had a brutal OTB on the finish line jump and got helivac'd out.Official team news is at least encouraging. Lots of broken bones but he'll walk out of hospital and be back this season still. Thank goodness. That was nauseating, but, a bit of humour in the situation - he literally rolled across the finish line in 12th spot...

Stretch Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Just shows.. Someone experienced like that can still get it wrong. I can't see mich doing a suicide on that jump... But you never know......
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Just shows.. Someone experienced like that can still get it wrong. I can't see mich doing a suicide on that jump... But you never know......Yeah he just completely overshot the landing, he was going so fast. I reckon that's why Greg squashed it so hard...
