attention bizutch... 2021 E-MTB World Championships Results Women Men - Blevins 3rd!

Oh, it's definitely supposed to be for spectator access. Maybe this was cheaper than a shipping container, given covid demand? The funny thing is a shipping container drop wouldn't have created so much electronic venom! Hopefully the crew is also putting time into clearing drains in the lower woods? I think Mr. Leader was the last person to do that.... Keeping the water flowing seems like it should probably be a priority at least commensurate with stuntz...

This is Idiocy. Other than gaps, holes, streams, what the bloody ever, there should be No wood features on a WC Downhill Track. The sport is already sketchy enough / exciting enough / spectacular enough / demanding enough without this Idiotic sort of thing. It should be Natural Terrain, or at least a 'construction' of Natural terrain features. This sort of thing (and, for that matter 'built' whoops - boys and girls , this is Not an event in a stadium) is like the SXification of Motocross. If this atrocity is kept on the course, if anyone gets axed on...

This is dumb. They are moving at this point in the track. Everyone will go around it. Remember the opening jump at the last one? They made such a big deal out of an opening feature for the track and then everyone skipped it. Same will happen here. This is not slope style. No one wants to end their season with an injury. Remember how many people over shot the small rock gap last time? This will be worse.

Could be cool.... but man im doubting. I think Ed Masters put it well, "Everything doesn't need to be a spectacle." Putting big features in just because always feels weird, just like man made rock gardens at VDS. I get that the end of the race is always kinda lackluster compared to the rest of the track but I dont think this is the way to solve the issue.

hmm, is IMBA Trail Solutions and Snowshoe Corporate this out of touch with the zeitgeist of racing? I get wanting to make something “memorable” to “keep up” with Gravity Logic projects at Trestle, Bryce, Thunder, but this seems like a feature just built as a marketing stunt for IMBA or a “me too” vanity project for some of the old men that manage snowshoe but don’t ride. If this is what the organizers are spending money on, it makes it so much easier to be happy spending that week at the beach instead of spectating or volunteering. Who wants to...

Didn't we already go through this before with Rampage? Not sure who is asking for wood features on World Cup tracks but I'd be just as happy with a huge dirt double. Or maybe some whoops...

Quad god? Edit: It is at the top of the hill before you start gaining crazy speed into the finish. Probably still too much speed exiting the woods (triple) before coming into this feature. Seems like more time should be spent trying to get entry for all the privateers and media and not on a feature

They know its World Cup Downhill Racing and not a slopestyle contest right? On second thought, maybe it's for the after party bonfire...
