Most people who I have talked to since htey have got back said they didn't like the track. Bad design considering the weather.

Considering the weather? It's nearly summer, how were they supposed to design it in anticipation of tons of rain?

well after reading that thru in the final version, it seems like im having a major sad about the track and everything, i didnt intend for it to seem that way, but the track coulda been a lot better and more fun, btu im not exactly gonna go making it sound all happy and perect when it wasnt, people want to hear how it was, not make up something that it wasnt. It was a fun track just not ideally worked out, a real good track should have it all thought out, stuff like, track degradation, rain ect....so no matter waht happens the track will still be good.

Not wanting to go on about the negative - the course is still awesome but I agree with Jared. I haven't had the pleasure of riding the norba & world cup courses so I'm maybe not as qualified to comment but for me, I only felt like about half the sections flowed. The top few sections just didn't feel good - wet or dry.

The problem (I think) is making a 5 minute run from a 4 minute hill! Not wanting get mathmatical on all ya'll but that's 25% more work for no real advantage.

Bring back the '02 course I say!
