Ive jst read this on some web page...

that's right Fort William is getting a new track.A new Downhill track is going to be made,while looking up the hill it will be on the right hand side of the mountain.It will be graded red therefore easier than the current world championship track.
The new track should be ready to ride mid May 09


Does Anyone knw if this is true?

Sounds an allright idea to me but could jst be speculation

It will make it more popular for the average rider if they do that.

Seems like a perfectly good idea to me

yer they are getting a new track saw it in dirt recently

was speaking to one of the guys whos works there, does maintenance, and is helping build the new track.
its going to be a red run, starts further up the hill, near the bottom of the open air chair lift which takes you right to the top. it will be an even longer track and will end up finishing in the same place as the main one. will obviously be alot easier and less knarly and will involve alot of board walks.
you can see where theyve started preparing alot of woodwork for the boardwalks near the top, but it probably wont be open until next season now.

i very much doubt it, it gets harder every year anyway just through wear and tear...
i wouldnt say its the most easy coure at the moment anyway, if the pro's find it one of the most demanding tracks in the world i expect most people wont be wanting it any harder...

Quite old news really but basically it will be a red route and I believe its going to set off from near the current one.

They have been talking about it for a year and building was supposed to start early this year from memory but got delayed a few times.

Ive jst got back from a week there.... is it the broadwalk u can see on the right hand side as u look at the gondola..
