I will get some this weekend
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
