So what are the tracks like? How long are they? Are they worth a 4 hour drive for a weekends riding and racing?

not very long
pretty steep
very jumpy
2 very rooty lines
1 mahoosive road gap

each track is less than 2 minutes flat out. lots of variety. nice fun, mellow top section with a much steeper, rootier, rockier bottom section.

i believe they're re-modelling the 4X to make it just a massive jump track for DH bikes. they're digging and tinkering constantly so always something new to ride.

i can't say whether you'll love it or hate it but you only have to go once to decide. better to give in to curiosity i'd say.

4 hour round trip or each each? If it's the former then it's worth the trip, lots of fun to be had and certainly doesn't need a big bike to make the most of it
