I built this with a couple of mates in 2006! It was a scary one to guinea pig because the braking zone was short at the top! Super fun one though

Throwback Thursday: Champery 2007 - The Greatest Race Run Ever?
I was there watching in the last woods section, which was a steep gully with an endless series of dropping "S" turns. On the entry to this section there was a chute into a hookin left that dropped away into another steep chute. The bank had been chewed out with the majority of the field riding this rutted turn and smashing frames and mechs on the overhanging rocks sticking out above the bank. Sam and Peaty were the only ones doing a big wallride out above this rut and it was real impressive to watch in the dry qualifying run. Come race run everyone was in survival mode and holding on for dear life.Only one person rode that line that day. Sam Hill.

34 Bikes of the New Zealand National Downhill Series
Trailbikes are pretty competitive on this track, not a lot of flat out steep sections, just all about linking up big jumps and carrying speed across flat skid sites. Super fun track on any bike.
