WRONG -rider wasn't trying to ride the course at speed and wasn't riding all the features/sections that will be on the course.Being able to race this
course fast will require careful line choices which will be quite varied.
The last section of the course which will be completed this week will be quite fast with a nice kicker/jump at the end.
Quite a few people were up there riding on Saturday for the first time and had a lot of good comments about the course and all the other freeride trails that are there. They have done a hell of a job there in one year considering the vertical they have to work with. Yea small, narly , a good time and within a short driving time for alot of peolpe - not much more you can ask for.
short, flat-ish appearing course. I'll take my 75 bucks for entry fees, spend 54 bucks at a strip club, get 2 lap dances, and still have enough for a lift ticket at Timberline for a day of dh hootin' hollerin' fun.
I agree with olddogbmxr. I was going slower on the top section so the video detail would be better. I have some going through faster but there was a lot more camera shake and less time to see the detail of the trail.
i guess youve been there? oh wait, you havent
plenty of other mountains actually have trails that flow yet still have tons of rocks on them....but i guess you already knew that.
The GES course at Launch is indeed a different kind of race course than the other GES courses. It will require you to have the skill to find and ride the fast line, if you do there is plenty of "flow". The course is not particularly flat by any means and you'll find yourself on your brakes if you don't have some balls.
There were several riders up this past weekend test riding a version of the course and all had positive things to say. There will be 3 jumps added to the course that are not yet done so there is more to come in the next week. Times are coming in around 2 minutes.
This course has steeper rock gardens than any gravity east course this year. Be prepared for big drops and steep rocks. If the trail feels slow get off the brakes. It's gonna be a great race!!!
