Missed opportunity to jump over the cow!

vertex66 (Jun 28, 2022 at 13:08)

Soooo wanted him to jump the cow at 1:12.

there could have been a cow hidden behind the blind table, dangerous!

@RedBurn: Would've been the ultimate case of bovine intervention.

Milking it for every bit of speed.

Stop with the cattle-elated punnery. We’ve herd it all before.

Track looks sick. But in regards to the previous post (Outside ad);
Why have you turned off comments? Do you fear the wrath of the commenters?
That feature is something this website was founded on. If you take that away you will just turn up the heat on yourself in the long run. Leave PB alone, go back to selling shit for Walmart and Cabella's. Please.

Are you really bothered about lack of page comments for a prize drawing?

@garrettstories: I'm just here to heckle, and if they take that away, whats the point?

dingus (Jun 29, 2022 at 1:46)

@garrettstories: First they came for the comments section on a prize draw, and I did not speak out...

garrettstories FL (Jun 29, 2022 at 7:03)

@dingus: haha.

Going be hard to tape around the cows.

They'll just put crash pads on the cows, the kind that are put on trees.

Con: somebody dies hitting a cow at warp 9.

Pro: all the privateers eat really well for the next month.

@nsteele: soylent green?

nsteele (Jun 28, 2022 at 16:18)

@p0rtal00: Cows, mate. Cows. But yeah, I guess when you run outta beef…

Naturalbornshaper (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:38)

I Hope some changement maybe by the taping.... Not my taste of track

hermes1987 (Jun 28, 2022 at 12:01)

Mine neither. 50% of the track are switch backs on the ski slope. Haven't ridden it but seems kind of boring. It's my least favourite venue.

tadabing FL (Jun 28, 2022 at 13:56)

Very little tech. Bikeparky.

DoubleCrownAddict (Jun 28, 2022 at 22:31)

@tadabing: Yeah, strange that so many comments in last week's
article on this track were worried about riders safety? Only thing that looks unsafe is going under the bridge. The high speed sections going into switchback corners are lame but at least it has a some steep sections in the woods.

Hrismat23 (Jun 29, 2022 at 7:32)

@DoubleCrownAddict: last weeks's post was about the new Andorra track, not the lenzerheide one

efet FL (Jul 2, 2022 at 12:46)

Been there today for some riding. Section after the first fire road (old rock garden or off-camber left hander) is completely new. Currently still grass, looks hell steep, some tree stumps.

kingpine (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:52)

Great, now I'm gonna have Garlicki-breath all day

colincolin (Jun 29, 2022 at 0:50)

raozaki (Jun 28, 2022 at 13:25)

I' ve heard rumors there's going to be a new track this year, so was kinda disappointed when I saw the video. Kinda hope we'll get surprised next week.

jonas-stadler (Jun 30, 2022 at 7:11)

there will be a new section that is getting built this week.

twonsarelli FL (Jun 28, 2022 at 11:16)

aspects of this reminds me a bit of my local downhill track - lots of lines propagating through a trail that used to be clean - many corners being cut, high lines being ridden in, etc.

Tamasz (Jun 28, 2022 at 22:46)

Gnarlicki.

Matt891 (Jun 28, 2022 at 12:08)

Its getting rather blown out in its old age

Endurip FL (Jun 29, 2022 at 1:38)

Perhaps a good track to determine riders cornering skills, but looks very boring in a watchers perspective. Hopefully they will tape it differently.

ryansimonovich (Jun 28, 2022 at 13:02)

Well that is the trail that the World Cup uses, but it seems unfair to call it a World Cup track preview since there is no taping

Linc (Jun 28, 2022 at 16:35)

I hope they tape it tight to take away some of those wide high lines. Allow the riders to use their skills to navigate awkward corners.

harryhood (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:08)

that looks fun

powderhoundbrr FL (Jun 28, 2022 at 12:14)

Me thinks that hitting a cow at race pace would suck.

mrbrighteyes (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:38)

This course looks faaaaaaaaast!

slayerdegnar (Jun 28, 2022 at 13:11)

Would have a lot more interesting if he was hitting all of those jumps and drops. Race lines are often boring compared to the full potential of the track.

SkarTisu (Jun 28, 2022 at 20:58)

Unexpected cows! m00.

mtb-journal (Jun 28, 2022 at 23:49)

Great track, difficult to race.

lastminutetech (Jun 29, 2022 at 15:56)

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Below threshold threads are hidden

Henrygoesfastsometimes (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:15)

This guy’s a freaking legend for making it down the course! (I definitely couldn’t) But I feel like the person doing the track preview should be able to hit all the features.

yvidal (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:42)

Some parks only open certain features during events due to safety.

erlaino (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:45)

if you watch carefully at 1:35 and 2:09, you can see that each end of these features seems to be blocked by plank(s). That's probably the reason he's not doing it.

andypandyuk (Jun 28, 2022 at 10:53)

I just think, well, it is a free video and he was good enough to film his very early preview so I am thankful regardless if he did the jumps or not. I am sure he had his reasons, my would be I would be too scared.

twonsarelli FL (Jun 28, 2022 at 11:14)

@erlaino: also, not every feature is likely to be the quickest line for a given rider, so he could be focusing on what is best for his riding style

pisgahgnar FL (Jun 28, 2022 at 12:32)

The features were closed. And the open ones he didn't hit, diving board at 1:08 and jump on the right at 1:21, are slower and no one hits those during the race.
