heres a brief description to whet your apetite The first straight is at least 150 metres long - its very fast and has been ridden in under 16 secs by lewis lacey. it doesnt loose much height and is not a smooth surface, however the surface is very fast Start ramp is 3 metres high and is made of wood off the start ramp, you have three small steps 1 and a half bike lengths apart, these are designed to slow the start straight a little ( after testing with some riders the start straight was proving too fast for the first jumps) first double is a small height double with a long gap table step up step down ( pretty long, it is possible to jump the whole thing) double( small low and fast) long table ( weird long table, usually squashed) quad ( most people manua,l its possible to double double, not seen anyone triple it ) large berm with flat section on the inside next straight step down step up - flows really well nice and fast long low berm with steps on the inside - multiple lines, stony and loose in places next straight pump bump with long backside small step up table mogul bumps ( one obvious line through the middle and double up line on the outside small table with big backside into high hip cheese wedge the bottom section and finish might see a revision to allow greater over taking, this bottom part is steeper loose and more like a WC track than smooth UK stuff the whole course drops about 40 metres and run times will be about 25 - 30 secs its very fast on the first straight and slows up a bit at the end the track will change all the time as we make it better but for a first NPS, it will offer something different to the usual smooth chicksands style tracks - we want it to be a mtn bike track and hence why it will never be BMX smooth Title: Re: 4xtrack pics?
