...] We're at the epic bike park we're going to start hot first world cup of the year. Excited. Yeah, this dirt looks sweet in the moment. Yeah, I think it's good that it was brought new ash here so it's had time to bed in a little bit, a little bit better this year. Really outside. But that top ledge is nice as well, isn't it? I don't think it has much dirt before it was a... Yeah, it's definitely looks like perfect right now. It's like grippy. I'm sure it'll change a lot though. Last year it got bomb holes and ruts. It was actually sweet. The whole top section was really good last year. I liked it. It was hard but it was good. Hopefully not as wet as last year but not dry either. I think it should be good. Make it interesting in the woods and the roots and stuff but the dirt will be good. It can settle but I'd like to go tight so you don't do off-latch you to drop and then just turn. He just blast through and do it, yeah? That's what it was for. Wasn't quite as much as a turn out was it, don't think? I think if you hit that rock you're just going to march. Yeah, you're going straight. They started doing the work on Monday. Went out on Wednesday? Thursday. Wednesday? Yeah, it's actually big quite odd. Some of it where they've done new little lips and stuff like that. This was part of the track last year. Got big holes in this bit. This one gets really tricky. It's a massive berm here. It looks like everyone comes in flying. There's a big jump here. Fly. Then it gets really awkward down there so it's all about setting it up back here. There's loads of times we've made. Something made up top. Lots of straights. That first fast straight. There's a little fall, little loop section. When you're riding that, it takes loads of speed away from you. If you can work out to get through that pretty good and maybe jump and manual last one or something like that, you'll carry a lot more speed. It's all about that average speed to keep it up. If you could almost, that big fast turn. Almost like turning just inside it a little bit so it doesn't shoot around as much. It might not be too bad getting a little bit out here then. You'll hit that turn to keep you up to the right. They can take the front of you up on the back and they've taped it like this before. I remember this. Yeah, and just roll here and then you just let off the brakes and just launch it over this over the hole. Yeah, off the stump. Off the stump. Yeah, holy shit. You'll be out. You're already out like that. Straight through. I'm telling him for. This is the famous stump section. It's changed loads and loads of years. But this little fellow here is drilled into the same hole as last year, I think. But he'll get bent over a bit. Straightly slide straight through here. Try and get set up high because it's tight around there. Definitely tricky in the way. Yeah, there's all these little roots that are out here and stuff. They mess you up. But there is a big railing outside turn. But it doesn't really bring you back in a very good position. So I think the more tech line over the stump will be better. It's good to have something like this in this sort of track because everyone's little windgers, it's bike park here wherever, but it's actually quite tech up here. It's good. Like as like a wet line, instead of going there, just go here to just hit that padded dirt and then bounce out to the right. Definitely better than going out here. I think, yeah, I think that out there. You just can't get back across here very well, can you? That doesn't look too bad. I feel like that might actually be faster. There you go, Steve. Just going to see the rat. It was so funny it took out so many riders. And we all thought it was going to be like, make or break, bake or make. I think it's so dry now, it's going to be so fast. But it's pretty open now. Too big. Big problem. Everyone stopped here. It was a massive puzzle here. And it was funny because it kind of went the other way. It's very just a little crashing. I'm glad I gave it a go. I just actually gave it my all-ward roll. New year. Different condition. It's going to be amazing. It's a little bit wider coming out this year, so yeah, I'm like, triple jump down. Which I think is better for this motorway section. But there's a bit more option in that top bit. These two are hard to get good backside because they're pretty big. And then the rest are hard to get good backside because they're way too small. So clear these good pedal hard tuck, but then somehow not land flat on the rest of them. Yeah, if you lose speed going onto the motorway, you basically is no way you're going to do good. In the dry at least, on a normal race. Not to tube my own horn, but I've always been pretty good at this section. Like, yeah, I don't know. I've always been pretty fast here. I don't know why, but I guess BMX background. Hopefully, hopefully same again this year. Probably not now to have said it. Big, steep, short flat under my scrubs. I wouldn't say a scrub, but I'm good at keeping water. Don't lie taking off. I'm just getting a bit stiff. Yeah, they've just made it bigger. Not one year we did. On year. Like, see where that double is? She like just carved up the grass bank and jumped off the grass over to the backside of it. You don't know what bad does it, it depends on the soft that bit. I feel like I usually land on the face of that double off this. Yeah. Carrying speed. Tuck and pop, tuck and pop. This used to be quite rocky where Luca is now. There used to be some like slippy rocks and you'd have to really commit hard to like slip on the rocks but carry speed out the end of it. But now they just turned it into jump. So it's a double triple and then there's another little double like in the bottom of it. Not quite as thick, but really fast. Every time you're riding so much, you have to be thinking. Pray for me. It was like so hard, it was just like whatever, like probably going to crash. I'm practice it was actually pretty good. Yeah. This is that last day that was really not so cool. Like it was hard, like hard to get it good but like fun, like cool, technical. But then just the last day it was like so sticky and like hard to even like roll. As steep as it was like you still couldn't roll. It's crazy. Well that looks moist. Slid the moist. Let's let it put a little bit of work in to keep it up in a couple of sections but yeah be slicking because it's that stone. Like you'll not slow down on that stuff as much. Feel like this looks way better. Go out and turn on like real and then straight. That's how that's not good. I was just looking at it and I'm just pinning it down here and doing a little bit. You could maybe pin it through that tree but I think that wiggle in line. It's going to be a good route too. Looks good at the moment as well. Looks like it never dries up in your A. Looks like springs and stuff. Blacked out going through here every time so I can't tell you. Could ask me about last year's joint. Fuck I do remember being here in the race run and I like missed this highlight. I was down there and I like so badly like wanted something on my bike to be like unreadable so I didn't have to like get back on it. I was like it was like a nightmare but I just wasn't dreaming. Right like similar to cans that first year I think like just roll the dice. Like roll. Because it was so wet it was just a big rut everyone was just getting like fuck took in the rut there's only one person that got through it like clean and kept in speed. Anyone? If you get high there and you carry the speed I think it's good yeah. It's a break to go through that. They were so brand new last year it was always going to be a little bit weird. New stuff coming out and stuff but it's had a year to settle and people have been riding it a little bit and then she'd open a couple places so I think it'll flow a lot better this year. I think track looks pretty good actually it looks in pretty good shape and the bottom ward at the moment obviously it's got a lot of wet patches but it's been mega wet around here and there's a few little springs that popping up and that so there's definitely going to be rut so there's no getting away from that it could be dry or weak but there'd still be rut in that section so I think overall it looks really good. Top's really similar to it has been and then get through that bottom ward I think it's going to change there's going to be some lines developed for sure which is a good thing about wood section like that. The route lines will develop some riders will be able to just get on it straight away so there's a build up to it so yeah. Should be good for our boys.
