Hi guys,

Anyone have any advice as to what the B-Line is like at Degla?

Ive been before, did some of the blacks but not the B-Line. The reason we avoided it is that when we got to it, the sign at the start said it was 'extreme' and that it contained gap jumps. I have viewed a vid on you tube and it doesn't look too bad, but hard to tell from vids sometimes. I dont want to find myself having to leap 6 ft gaps.

Thanks
Dan

    It's all easily rollable. Juts hold back a bit on your first run as some of the lipped tabletops can launch you. People can and do get hurt.

    Yeah I did hold back, didn't really leave the ground on any of the jumps, still good though!

    Only wish I hadn't bothered trying the skills area before I went home, came a cropper off the level 3 drop offs now I'm hurting lol :(

    I came off right at the start of the B-Line, just where you drop onto the North Shore, but all my fault as I braked when I shouldn't. There is a little surprise drop at the end of the North Shore too. Otherwise it's all rollable for someone with not many skills (me).

    Just back from there this weekend and can confirm it's all very rideable, keep your weight back and stay loose and it's fine.

    If you turn right at the fire road crossing at the bottom - just after the short rocky bit before you go through the trees - you can ride about 5 mins up the fireroad, then you'll see the start of the boardwalk section on your right and can do it all over again :)

    I hired a HeroHD Pro when I was up there a couple of weeks ago. Some footage on my youtube channel -
