hey i'm really looking forward to this race,

never been before and wondered what it was like? what sort of set up is required?
e.g jumpy/ drops
Fast and technical

i've seen the headcam but that makes everything look too slow and flat.

cheers

jumps if you want them, lots of drops, dam fast (if you have the metal) and very technical.......

lower the tire pressures, make sure you brake pads have lots left and get your arse on the rear wheel, you wont belive how steep some of it is

Flat is certainly is not.

3 big drops.
Lots of higly technical sections- one of which jimmi almost killed me on...
Hardly any pedalling.
