Phew....that track has got it all. I like the way they made the vid :D . That will be very impressive to watch the big guns nail it. I like the fact it has plenty of natural stuff in it (so it appears...).

Though most of the drops seem to be koppers logs landscaping, and the rock garden is a footpath sort of thing.

Looks like a great track though.

looks almost like a cross between the red bull streetride and one of the more open world DH courses.

question is, will it be open to non world cup riders? from the video, it looks like a thredbo style enduro track where the fitter you are, the better time you will get.

i might have to go for a trip there around the worlds time.

[ajay]

the track is a lot steeper than the helmet cam makes it seem, you can barely stand on it in places... there are a couple of open sections so fitness will play a part but I am sure it wont be the only deciding factor...

(looking forward to seeing 2 kiwi Juniors on the podium in 2 weeks)

that track looks extremly damn fun! Nice work to the guy doing the helmet cam run also. He's hoonin'

Very few tracks actually look fast when they're filmed with a straight-on helmet cam setup like that. Most of that track looked like it was ridden at warp speed so whoever was actually riding that was fucking hooking it for most of that run. High speed + rough + steep = good, my personal opinion is that I can't wait to see it in the flesh and scream "yeeeeeeeeeeuw" at very fast people riding down it, while blind drunk.

Pretty sure that was Byron Scott fitted with the helmet cam. N1 reserve for the NZ team...
