This episode we build up the awesome sky drop first feature at the top of the Slopestyle course, and Clemens shapes the new free ride hip with his new toy on the excavator!— Sam Reynolds
This episode we have an encounter from another world!! The freeride line is looking good, especially with the new spacey feature!— Sam Reynolds
The science and thought process behind these is nuts! So cool to hear Sam describing exactly how they are building jumps based on how its supposed to ride, speed, angles etc. These dudes aren't just mtb bros out riding big hits, these guys are full blown architects!
The earthworks behind a big jump venue like this one is not straight forward. Riders are very fortunate with budgets like the one needed to fund the construction of this venue. As passionate mountain biker and operator, I look at it with envy. Building such a creative jump line with the latest in heavy equipment technology would truly be an unbelievable delight. I can tell you that the daily rates for those Cat excavators are not cheap, neither is their upkeep. Also, it must be nice to work with land that is relatively devoid of rocks, such clean shaping!
