For Real? Welcome to the Val d'Isere World Cup Downhill - 2012 UCI World Cup, Val d'Isere, France, Day 1 - Mountain Biking Pictures - Vital MTB

Remember that one time when some riders were complaining about a perfectly manicured 8-foot drop in the U.S. National Champs course a couple years ago? LOL. Credit: Sven Martin

the pics from today are coming, but in Sven's caption he says they closed off this drop and it will probably stay that way.
