Could you make it down a World Cup downhill track?

No problem. I bet I could even qualify with a little practice.
Yes, but I know I couldn't qualify no matter how much I practiced.
Yes, but it wouldn't be pretty, and I might skip some of those big jumps.
Maybe, if by 'make it down' you mean walk a lot and ride a little.
No way. I wouldn't even want to try.

Everything is possible with enough motivation and proper training, those tracks are within the realm of what is possible. Now if this was about the Red Bull Hard Line or Rampage, then I would be happy just watching and drinking beer :cheers:

i've been recently in leogang almost a month ago with friends that were training for european championship and went straight at full speed on go pro course ; super gnarly .. all features look larger in real life than those on video on the same track ... and i guess that after some practice on the same track over and over and over you could qualify in top 30

Having ridden MSA and Bromont I know I can certainly make it down, and ride all the features, but certainly am not riding at WC speed.

Should be a: I can make it down the track, but at WC race speed? No.

That's the second response, make it down but no way you could qualify.

I mean, I rode the 2018 Windrock pro GRT track on my hardtail so I think I could ride a World Cup track on a DH bike. Might depend on the track though.

I could make it down, it would be fun. But not at the speed that Gwin does. After, good food, brews and laughing with friends where I screwed up.

I could qualify if I practised A LOT, there's no option for that.
