So sick Andy!!!
Apart from maybe two sections, that trail just looked like a dirt path. No wonder you guys don't have many top riders in the WC's if that's what your race circuits are like. There looked to be maybe one section with roots, and one section with a few rocks. A jump here and there and a drop, but no real technical riding?
Couldn't agree more! That course is no where near as technical as 90% of the DH tracks in the UK. Looks like the DH sections you get at UK trail centres rather than a DH course
yh i agree compared to uk stuff that looked really tame an not very tech. thats y for me that vid wasnt that great cos after a while the shots got repetitive an abit boring.
all you guys that are saying shit about the course... have you ever ridden there? most likely not. so dont talk about it being tame and no point of suspension. people like you make this site no fun.
It wasn't a bad course. They have some good gnar but it was decided that with the chance of rain and half the course on private timber land. Riders safety is a big concern. we had one seperated shoulder. and one torn up forearm. and a few minor accidents. Speed and the ability to hold it was key. Everybody who rode loved the course and the dirt. Was a awesome weekend!!!! Thanks Andy for the Vid.....SWEET!!!

f*cking Canadians, think the invented the wheel or some shit...
lol scotland invented the bike
also i was being half sarcastic with that comment and i agree with the other guy it does look fun just isnt really technical enough IMO

I'm not saying the course is bad. It looks like my type of course, flat out, and wide open. I hate technical, but from the looks of things, most of the US DH video's I've seen haven't been overly technical, which is why there aren't many US guys competing at the top level of WC's.
just because there are some smooth sections on the course, doesn't mean you're going to beat everyone down the mountain you race against, mr. Europeans. the course still takes plenty of skill, even though it may not be the kind of skill you work on. we have our fare share of technical riding here int the northwest. don't even try to say otherwise...
im not sayin the entire us its huge there must be some tech stuff there but for a race track that particular track is tame!
hey fleck u ignoramus. look at the flag. those were brits commenting on the lame-factor of that course..not canucks. i could say so many things here about yanks...but i wont.
aha, are the brits feeling a bit insecure about their terrain? apples to oranges mate.
ps nothin against uk half my family is from there, just funny whats being said.

I said 'That trail looked like a dirt path'. nothing against the rest of the US, just saying, most of the tracks I've seen have been a little less technical then most of the European tracks like Shladming, and Champery etc.
those trails aren't at a mountain. It's called dry hill.. and we were riding all year long. even when it snowed. when there is a shuttle day people travel hundreds of miles to ride. even some whistler locals. the less injuries that hill has the better. we need to keep it open. Ride it and your comments would be different. you can't really compare it to any of those places.
Hey when you ride a course like that thats on the tame side its still fun to rind and race. If the course is too easy for you your not going fast enough.
what the hell is up with all these guys from the UK bitchin' about our tracks when they haven't even ridden here. I've ridden at Ft William and it's not that much worse than shit here!
you win? your flag is american, whistler is in canada? what? whistler still isnt really rough massively technical downhill, but i still want to got there so badly, im not a fan of technical rough downhill im just saying...
Yeah and ft bill is in scotland and the brits seem to call that their own too..
Whistler is our big mountain around here. I don't see a border I see the guys and gals we ride with all the time from all over the world. This seems to be an arguement of who has gnarley terrain. maybe we just have better trail builders? and resort managers
and race directors who care about the riders. as far as I'm concerned these brits and such should worry more about dental hygiene than the technical trails you have. Do you all know who Mr. Ed is ?

I'm dark Welsh. and i could give a rip about the UK and its history. I didn't start this technical babble. come and ride..... I hope to ride in your neck of the woods soon...
We all are on the same team...... riding rules!!!!

lmfao dental hygiene mabye you lot should worry about obesity 
on a more serious not we are both compairing apples to oranges so lets just leave it.

whats up with everyone bashing americans about obesity...they just have a lot of people which is inevitable that people are going to be fat...CANADA has a larger obese people to skinny people ratio than the states...the states just has more people
You can't tell me that that track was no more than a pathway for the majority of it. If you compare that with most tracks in the UK, it would be one of the most tame, and easy. There were a maximum of 4 sections there that required good downhill skills.
haha really? cuz I can think of more than 4 sections. you have never ridden there, and this video only showed a portion of the track, so just chill man.
there were braking bumps up top that at high speed would kick u over handelbars if u broke over them.... and all u UK f*g are gay and come ride some really trail in cali... u ant seen rock intell u come here...
ahahahaha dink boy....only in america ("Yeah and ft bill is in scotland and the brits seem to call that their own too")
sweet! saw steve smith and bryn atkinson in there i do believe... oooh eric and his mullet... he better cut that soon
you know. that was his explination for getting it in the first place. or something along the lines of that

the vids really well done and deserves VOD. BUT, if this is the sort of difficulty that US dh tracks have to offer its no wonder they struggle on the world circuit. that looked easily doable on a ht or am bike.
ahah call that a dh track come to scotland and do dunkeld dh track lol i could do that one my hard tail jump bike but u guys where going quite fast i will give u that
[Reply]
why such a big deal about a smooth dirt path trail.
get a hardtail and like 100mm forks and you could hit that way faster and have more fun.
american dh is a joke. surely with all the mountains you could make a beastly tracks but no its all dirt paths etc.

at least if an american got into the world cup theyed come to fort bill and that would show them wat a dh track is suppoeed to be like
I was thinking the same. A V10 on that track? when here you get people pinned on my harder trackes on sx trails and things.
I don't think there is a course here in the states as tech as anything in the UK and if there is it's probably a hidden spot..y'know you gotta race against the local govt first & all the DH bike bling can't win that. The states still have riders like Gwinn though

Track looks fun, bit flat for a big bike in places tho. Some of it looked like a DH track, but like somebody else said some of it looked like a flowy trail centre singletrack. Love the hipped corner around 50 secs.

that videdo is lush mate looks fun! just needs a rock garden and some more root sections apart from that damn fun corse
Just like the helmet vid from the Bresse WC, it's more demanding than it looks. As someone else mentioned, we have tech as well, but holding speed can be just as challenging. And oh yeah, having fun riding isn't so bad either. Have fun on your little hardtail brit-boy.
Yeah!! Really nice track. I found it pretty boring at the very begginig but it gets better and better and really great in the secong half. Does not look like a track to destroy you but like you have the flow on it and smile from one ear to onother

Is that a 2003 Jr.T at 110-114??? black lowers with white writing, polished crowns, bronze stanchions... maybe I'm wrong tho.
Awesome vid! I've been dirt jumping alot, I haven't gone DH-ing in forever. Makes me want to hit the hills again

sick vid and super sick course. it would be even sicker if it didnt have such a gay chick song in it.......
Rad video, a lot fo my friends raced this and I recognized a lot of people I know in this! Really cool, I should try it next year. I also like the song a lot, Four Year Strong is a sick band. Don't complain because the music wasn't MGMT or Crystal Castles. This song is refreshing compared to what is currently in popular edits.
