Video: Spring Classic ProGRT Course Preview
Trek World Racing’s Brook MacDonald leads us through a preview of the downhill course at Mountain Creek, New Jersey for the 2013 Spring Classic ProGRT race. The nearly 1.5 mile course starts from the top of the Cabriolet Gondola with some wide-open high speed turns, feeding into the 661 Rock Garden. From there the course enters a new section of wooded trail with freshly built bermed turns and flow section leading out to the off-camber section in the Gingerbread woods. New for this year, racers will finish on the GT “Earn Your Wings” Roller/Step Down. The 2013 Spring Classic will continue tomorrow with the Super D Finals and DH Pro/Cat 1 Junior Seeding Runs. DH finals will begin at 12PM ET on Sunday - stay tuned to Pinkbike for results and photos from the event.

The moment you hit that jump and tweaked the bars styled it up nice landed then realised you are on one hell of a scary DH track

not to great in comparison the US Open course. Too much open on this course for a short mountain IMO
