2006? Isn't that too far away?

 

[biggins]

damn i think that course would make me soil my pants. regardless of it being real or not.

 

[DVNT]

Wall ride? Mountain Cross???
Hmm..... Not sure how that's gonna turn out.


Oh, wait I forgot I read that on MTBR nevermind.

 

[kidwoo]

Who cares if it's a wc course or not. The fact that it exists and looks fun is enough for me. NZ folks is lucky.

 

[stiksandstones]

hmmm, I was at Livigno (site of 06' worlds) and those pics look nothing like the hillside we were on. Plus, the course they raced on in sept while we were there was said to be the worlds track as well. I posted some pics back then-here they are again. The one they raced the WC finals on was the best ever anyways, so why would they change it.

At first I thought this smelled like photochop and hcor/mtbr BS. However, this website makes it sound legit.

This picture is in this month's Dirt Magazine.

Holy crap, that wall ride is cartoon big!!!!!

 

[The Kadvang]

Holy ****, a wallride on a 4x course... that is gonna be crazy

 

[lovebunny]

man i cant wait to see the footage of the pros hittin that. its gonna be crazy. 4 guys on a wallride at once

Well unless they actually put the gate a decent height up onto the wall then the riders will probably barely even touch it. They are going to be trying to stay as low as possible in order to go fast and protect their line.

At the Mammoth MTNX this year they had an obstacle in it that you can tell they were trying to make it a 1/4 pipe. If done properly it would have been a really cool feature. But they hacked it and it turned out to be ridiculous. These guys look like they know what they are doing so hopefully it turns out well. That couse looks like it has alot of potential but until people ride it no one will know how good it is.

my thoughts exactly!

[sirbikealot]

check out the 3D rendering of the course

 

[BKQuill]

I like that 3D view, pretty trick looking track.

 

[Banga]

First ride on it is this weekend,
Ive seen it in person, and its huge,
our national champs are being held on it in late feb, rumour is remmie,hill and kovarik are coming over to race .

should be kick arse.

 

[CBJ]

Well Banga remember to bring the camera and shoot some pictures from us and post them here on RM. If you don't I will come down to NZ and hunt you down

Good point, I didn't think about that.
