rode one yesterday which I'm assuming that they are using as it is freshly built, open section is mint, loads of roots, couple of nice jumps, flat turns and a nice jump off a fallen tree, mint, just hope there not using the bottom quarter of the track as its battered to bits - p.s I aint moaning, more than happy to help re-build/repair new bottom section

i spoke 2 pearce cycles yesterday, and they said its the enw start which we used 4 round 2, and insted of going left after the first table, go straight on, it the jumpy track. and the finish is at the same place as the round 2 finish, but if you look up the hill, at the table top, look to ur left, and u'll see the jump onto the bank, this is the finish they r usin.

thats the track alright, all the vegetation at the side has been cleared to race. its an awsome track with lots of jumps.

Are we talking big jumps or more flowy ones?

mostly tabletops that are prettyy flowy and easy to clear, there are a few doubles that can be pumped but to be honest look alot bigger than they are.

the step down into the finish is blind anfd pretty big (but high speed) and the step up before isn't too bad, but just make sure you clear your front wheel because it is super high speed and i found out the hard way, by not getting my front wheel high enough.

also, aword of warning:

when you join the wooded section after the first open section (this is a section on the old track) there are 2, new, tables in a row.

do not launch the first as you will overshoot and loose all flow
