damn that bit of the track was fun, off the brakes at full speed you just float the whole thing and prepare to pump out at the bottom. I saw a couple of people go rigid on it after I had finished my run and just crash as they could not compress in to the sudden flat at the bottom and go flying off the bike in to bushes. probs what the guy in the photo would have done. still i came short on the jump in to the berm after though.
Yeah it is awesome. I came a bit short on the berm jump the second time I did it. I think that guy freaked out about the steepness of it cause it is like out of your vision and then it just appears and you are like "holy crap!"
I think they were going nice and easy. I nearly bet them and I was behind them on the uplift and I blew the rear tyre mid corner and face-planted coming into the trees and had to walk the rest. (I did ride some but I didn't want to wreck the wheel.)
