 I miss the days when the qualification course ended in Oz. Still, I've got to get back someday. 7 years is not enough.

 Not really, where could you overtake on that track? You got stuck behind a line of riders on single track.
Qualy needs to be a little more open

 @yeti-monster: The course changed over the years,but I never found it too difficult to overtake, except maybe 2 or 3km after the big climb.
My first years (2002,2004) it even ended with a grueling 1,5km fireroad climb, not fun on a DH bike.

 Makes me want to ride the Mega again. Then I remember the absolute terror of the piste and think maybe Passports is the event for me!

 Passportes is extremly annoying to anyone who wants to ride the parks in PDS...
