That looks like an awesome course (most of which I would be walking on)

Just caught up with this.
Golly that looks impressive. I don't think we'll seen many hardtails next year.

So can we expect to see something similar up at Cannock for the Commonwealth Games?

LOL lets hope so... HAve to say i was pretty impressed with some of the skills of the XC crew, I guess it's not just Jolanda Neff who does more tech stuff outside of the usual XC duties.

Weeksy you should watch the xco stuff on red bull, the courses often have big drops, jumps and rock gardens. Doing this when you're heart rate is close to max is insane.

This is a feature on the Stellenbosch XCO course called 'pick up sticks'

I'd wager the vast majority of people on here wouldn't be able to ride it on their trail bike fully padded up, let alone on a 100mm HT in lycra at warp speed.

Mmm, that course looks good. Be even better once it’s bedded in.
