Again.... The riders were pumped and were styling it up all weekend. Spectators enjoyed the show and eveyone enjoyed seeing and eiding something besides the same old tired tracks.I'm stocked to see that you guys are going "big" but are they worth the massive hype everyone is putting on them? Or don't the video's capture the pure size of the jumps? But to me 50 foot isnt too crazy especially since they pretty much in a rhythm section on the Pro mens course, those guys hit stuff that big all day. I've seen our(South African) youth men national champion style 50 footers, I'm not trying to take anything away from your Pros, I'm just argueing that those jumps should be there.
The only hype, hate, issue seems to from a bunch of people who were not there annd are just creating the un needed hate/drama
Hands down the best national in 10 years.... Thanks to the sol vista crew (don't for a second thinks usac gave two ****s or did anything)... It is good to see a promter that "gets it" and has a vision.
Would be cool if more races followed their example so we woul get somthing othr than the same single track trails through the woods for tracks that we have been on for the last 10 years in the US... While every other country (including canada) has stepped it up
there was way more to the sol vista track than these three jumps, though if you read online one would think that was the only thing on the track.
it had a good mix of rocky tech sections, some big jumps, and the bottom section of small jumps, big hip jumps, berms, flat loose corners and high speed was awesome. they did a great job to get a lot of variety into the limited vertical they had to work with. i would rather ride a good short course any day over a crap 3 or 4 minute course that is the same top to bottom.
