Thats video gives you a false impression of the track. Actually you are not allowed to ride the lower section of the track with the cool rockgarden. So a bit deciving. I like Hafjell and will be back in a few weeks but "the Whistler of europe" you are kidding right?

@ad15: Thats right, just for analysis. And that's where your standard watch/phone GPS will fail in epic fashion. They have 1hz GPS units giving 1 recording each second, that is simply accurate enough if you wanna analys line choice through specific sections. Id say you need at least 5hz to draw any conclusions 10hz would be even better.

Just buy a 10hz Qstars GPS puck about €70 and download RaceChrono free to your Android phone and create your own tracks.Simple. I do use the same kind of software but in pro version in my race car then it also records HD movies and future updates will enable Bluetooth recording of heart rate too. EDIT: it has segements analysis as well as ghost rider as well as the ability to edit external movies from GoPro etc and do overlays with speed, sectors and more.

Here in Sweden they have started with lift assistance on enduro competitions on hills with 150meters of elevation... In my opinion that is simply ridiculous and it gives our riders a completely skewed image of what it takes. The clash with reality will be hard when going out on the big scene, so hard that some just can't cope with the thought of it. It takes top level fitness to cope with an EWS weekend or a multiday race like Trans Provence. So I would like to see a lot more of this kind of videos that show what really go in to being "up there" as a pro. There are simply no shortcuts just hard hard work 24/7.

In my opinion a review of this helmet should mention that it is practically impossible to wear a set of regular set of sunglasses like Okley Radar or similar with this helmet. The helmet simply goes to far down over the temples for regular sunglasses to fit. So the choice is either goggles or very pricey POC sunglasses mad specifically to fit with this helmet. This fact alone made me step away from this helmet.
