Video: WynTV Track Walk - Bielsko-Biała DH World Cup 2024
The problem is that it looked sh*t on the video, people always forget that cameras have really hard time capturing stepness. When I walked it I felt like someone cheated on me, even my dog got tired walking this uphill...

@BenPea: It's 400m indeed, pity I forget to turn the strava on when walking it so I do not know the distance. Most probably below 3 min.

@transportguy: The very beginning is Bestyja, but later they are close but mostly separate, except few spots.

Pinkbike Primer: Everything You Need to Know Ahead of the Bielsko-Biala EDR World Cup 2024
I think the tracks will suit Richie and Sławek. But I suspect there will be mechanicals on Cygan and DH+, cause there are places with plenty sharps rocks and the pace will be like 30km/h+ :) It will be very physical, lots and lots of pumping.

Honestly guys, I have seen this track in person and this vid shows nothing. Judging the track based on it is impossible. The wooden features are mostly in wet places, there are little springs here and there and there are places which are wet 365 a year. Especially the finish wood is really a bridge over a swamp, it just had to be there. The jumps and berms are on the flatter sections and all steep sections are natural currently covered in loam since they are 100% fresh just leaves removed from the ground and some stumps trimmed. In my opinion they used close to 100% of the slope's potential. Of course the place is not alpine-steep but is close. It will be good.

All the wood on this track is on places which are notoriously wet/swampy. So they had no choice.

@jayacheess: There are, all steep places are natural. The camera does not do it justice really.
