    I thought the course looks a little easy and a bit boring?
    but is it just the guy riding making it look easy?

    I think so, yeah. Steve peat's "coursewalk" on Freeaster makes it look a bit rougher.

    Looks like it's more an exercise in carrying speed than anything technical could be quite a boring race :(

    some parts of it are pretty rough and theres some big jumps but overall it's a short course and looks like it will be quite a boring race. the top bit looks very boring and reminds me of the moelfre dh track but moelfre is rough as heck

    It's a weird course isn't it, some bits are proper manly DH course, other bits are just riding across a field. Should make for good racing though, I love to watch the mad techy courses but the variety spices things up

    Right, so if large drops, off camber jumps, rocky sections, tight twisty bits at high speed through trees, and more big jumps don't interest you, what does?

    What if your dreams and fears existed in the same place? What if to get to heaven, you had to brave hell? What if everything you've ever wanted cost you everything you've ever achieved? Would you still go there?

    That's got to be a first - commentator hands over the mic because he wants to phone his riders and warn them about a hole in the course. Brilliant.

    Fabien Barel... He's got one leg that's shorter than the other and is still an awesome rider=win

    Fabien's Wheelie thing at the top was pretty awesome!


    Steve Pete was unlucky on his pedals.

    And i thought Geee was going to do it? Oh well

    The track (and camera's) were better than i was expecting from first watching the chest cam on the practice.

    yeh, Fabien was awesome. The rear wheel kicked right up so to correct it he does a massive powered manual.

    +potato to all of it.

    Barels recovery was an act of instinct and genius. Brilliantly done.

    Best DH to watch since Fort Bill. Simples.
