International or Abom? at Mt Buller for the nationals

[nacerbag]

who knows what track is being raced at mt buller at the end of march? intenational or Abom???

[S.]

I heard Abom, but that hasn't been confirmed by anyone else. I don't really mind which track they race on, but I imagine not many beginners could cope with int'l.

but I imagine not many beginners could cope with int'l.

so i suppose that makes you a beginner?

[kalem]

i'd prefer ABOm cause, you'd have a real good thrash at a good time, where on International would be more frustrating, if you get my drift. ABOM would get rutted as fuck with all the traffic tho'.

Pretty much. Although I do seem to remember getting well ahead of you last weekend ;)

i heard ABOM but they are doing some work to it. Rebuilding corners, adding jumps and whatnot. COuld be wrong, just heard it from afew people.

It's not that hard in general... but there are some VERY tricky spots (but if it's that hard, you can always walk those bits). It's 90% rockgarden too.

Some of the pros hit some fucking CRAZY lines in that.... like a smallish (10-12ft?) gap over a little gully thing where there's hardly any runup, piss all lip, a shit landing, and a farkload of rocks to dodge immediately after that, followed by a steep rolldown. Way crazier than your average 30ft double IMO.

sweettttt sounds like a good..........watch....hahahaha. you would see me cruzing around the c line!

[S.]

Well that's one of the things that makes it hard you see.... there's no chicken lines!

International is actually way better for hardtails, despite being way techier... you just don't have the savage shaking that abom gives ya.

international is the one where you ride through a tree...

[big dan]

is that the track we raced for the 01 nats? if so , that was pretty gnarly...i flipped my guts out!

[oz-freerider]

well i herd from two high sources in the austrailan mtb scean that it will be on the "2000 course" (inti)

[S.]

A guy on the FTF site said one of the lifties at Buller told him int'l.... ARGH somebody who knows for sure, say so!

Im reckoning Inter'l.

[kalem]

God told me it was international.

I heard they were going to take out some things from internatiol before they were gonna hold the nationals there, So...
Int'l is BlOOdY Technical!
I reckon they be better off racing on abom and throwing in some crazy assed jumps.
Oh and fixed up those erroded berms!

All they need to do to Int'l is clear up the very top section a bit so that it flows a bit more, and maybe widen some of the track down near the bottom so that you're not faced with death should you slip...
