Who cares if it's a wc course or not. The fact that it exists and looks fun is enough for me. NZ folks is lucky.

hmmm, I was at Livigno (site of 06' worlds) and those pics look nothing like the hillside we were on. Plus, the course they raced on in sept while we were there was said to be the worlds track as well. I posted some pics back then-here they are again. The one they raced the WC finals on was the best ever anyways, so why would they change it.

At first I thought this smelled like photochop and hcor/mtbr BS. However, this website makes it sound legit.

Well unless they actually put the gate a decent height up onto the wall then the riders will probably barely even touch it. They are going to be trying to stay as low as possible in order to go fast and protect their line.

At the Mammoth MTNX this year they had an obstacle in it that you can tell they were trying to make it a 1/4 pipe. If done properly it would have been a really cool feature. But they hacked it and it turned out to be ridiculous. These guys look like they know what they are doing so hopefully it turns out well. That couse looks like it has alot of potential but until people ride it no one will know how good it is.

Good point, I didn't think about that.
