Last year we tried to go bigger and with the 11m drop with push it pretty far not to the max because some of the guys do bigger but in a contest it's a bit delicate and it's not just about a big step down there is the rest of the track. So we back to a more natural feel using the rocks and bringing some dirt instead of using laddders but without taking things like the rock garden out. We want the rider to be really impressed and make the CMS a unique event. It's not slopestyle or dirt jump it really is freeride. Some sections are slopestyle ish but if you come with a dj bike or a slopestyle bike you will struggle. You also need to be in shape physically, not be scared of steep stuff. There is a section where you have to scope your line which will be important it's a real mix. Everybody is realy happy and it should be a good event
There is also 30 amateur who where invited through videos they submitted.
