Pan-American MTB Champs in Colombia Day 1

The UCI commissaries did the usual track check and they were very satisfied with track conditions and terrain that is being used for this important race. They also said that the 4X is amazing, it looks like a World Cup Course.

It's a long and very hard racetrack, divided in tree sections. First, up in the hill a very fast section with lots of short jumps, roots, very steep terrain and pretty awesome turns inside a beautiful forest full of South American Vegetation.

At the middle a very flat and hard pedaling section. All riders suffer and pedal like crazy to get to each jump that comes one after another.

The last section is very difficult, right after the pedaling the tired riders will find more jumps, this time a little bigger than the first ones, the track has a couple of wood bridges, woops, natural drops, rock gardens, more roots, and a big truck ramp receiver from a big last jump located just at the end of the track.

The DH track was built by the famous TACKY BROSS from the town Zipaquira (Oscar and Alejandro Rodriguez). Two brothers who built the tracks for the local competitions by hand, and now they had the opportunity to show everything they know, and they didn't disappoint anybody. Tobias Lozano helped them with the design, and Built the 4X that we can see in the pictures.
