Le-Pleney in Morzine is up there for me,

In the U.K, it has to be Foel Gasnach track 1

In the UK Id say Molfre is right up there, I just love that track, flat out at the top and the switchbacks are awesome.  Plus Farmer Jacks uplifts also add excitement to the day, as he takes various off road short cuts up the hill!

In France Id say the Mega Sprint Track in Oz en Osians, rode it for the first time this year and just thought it was awesome, it had everything you would want in a track and a sub 5 min run was the dream Cheesy

In Whistler my fave track is RockCity into National Downhill, there is a scary bit of northshore ladder up and over a boulder that drops you into rocks, closely followed by a tight right hand corner into a fast rock and root strewn gully with a kicker over a tree stump half way down.  Its one of those section that when you are at the bottom and look up you cant believe you have just managed to ride down it.  Cant wait to get back out there again next year!!

Moelfre's uber amounts of fun, I know exactly what you mean about the uplifts too!

I've definitely got the Le Pleney bug though, It's got everything.

Favourite in scotland has to be the I-line & Caddon Bank though, just for the speed.

Fort bill or Le pleney. Mainly because of the chair lift to the top!

Then its probably Gethin or Bringewood

Favourite track for me is the final descent on the ClimachX trail in Machynlleth. Not technically a dh track though.

I also love the red run at Aston Hill for pure fun value and also knowing it like the back of my hand.

Swiss National is the best track I've ever ridden but Fort Bill and Pleney are up there for me as well. Smiley

French National - brutal, fast, sketchy at best. Also required a lot of thought or you were going down...

Swiss national absolutely mental if you try and ride it as fast as you can-The Pleney got everything a course should have & cwmcarn now its bedded in quite a bit - brechfa is very good too if you fancy a bit of a pedal!
