Yo chiefstash buddy i think they call that "Endurellow" (tm) !

perhaps you shouldn't skip off before the commissaires debrief at the end of a race then Paul ;)

I will be interested to see how this news will effect the position of the Forestry Commission who have a very significant role, certainly here in Scotland, as the landowner at a large number of race venues.

Roger you mention the exact problem that BC had; the potential for the death of a spectator. BC were in a position whereby they would have had to impose conditions, specifically double taping the entire course and marshals in line of sight, that would neither practical for organizers nor to the taste of most enduro racers. Realistically, particularly to the outside eyes of a judge, there is little difference between the timed stages of an enduro race and a DH race. In DH racing we have worked hard to establish safe procedures (and tragedies still occur so we will be seeing much more stringent measures in 2015), if BC accepts liability and the chief commissaire signs off the course then they are going to have a seriously hard time in court explaining why they have not adhered to the established "best practice". So there's good and bad here for enduro and good and bad here for DH.
