I didn’t know anything about this event, but it looks brilliant. Watching Hannah Bergemanns build up videos, which give a brilliant overview of the women working their way down the course and the process they go through, amazing riding 🙂

Day 1 was an intro video:

Day 2 is superb as they start getting into the big stuff, Cami going deep into that massive drop at 6:40 is pretty mind blowing, not many riders would have comfortably ridden that out:

Looking forward to the event!

Thanks for the links. None of the riders I usually follow have posted anything from there so whilst I knew it was on, there hasn't been much to see.

Yeah. Seems they're not broadcasting footage until March for some reason.

Tom Isted crashed out early in practice. Thomas Genon really stacked and is out too. I haven't heard much more.

Oh that's great. You get a much better appreciation both of the features and how much work for into making a run.  This is where social media really works

When riders of that calibre are hospitalised in practice, something doesn't quite sit with me.

The women's videos of this kind of thing are always a lot more enjoyable to watch. There is less "Yo dude! Yeah boi! Brah!" type gibberish going on and a lot less inane laughing at everything.
