    All the haters, you’ve got to give it to Christina, she’s a great presenter. Doesn’t matter who did it first, I’ve seen Remy”s ride and Rob Warner and Finn were amazing, but I just really like Christina’s presenting skills. She keeps it real. She deserves some respect.

      I agree. Christina is as inspiring as anyone in the industry. A few years ago, at 69 years old, I was diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s. My doctor told me to find something to do that would be challenging physically and mentally. Exercise of body and mind is important in helping to keep Alzheimer’s at bay. I ran into a Pinkbike video featuring Christina. She made mountain biking sound like it was helping a lot of people both physically and mentally. I than watched more videos featuring Christina. She inspired me to go out and buy a mountain bike. Three years later my Alzheimer’s disease hasn’t gotten worse. I lost a lot of weight. And now at 72 years old I am in the best physical shape of the last thirty years.
      Christina is a talented journalist and mountain biker who happens to be a very friendly and caring person. I heard other people tell about how much good she has done for her community. Pinkbike should do a video about her.

    This track looks incredible! In my opinion the steepest and gnarliest DH track in North America (and quite possibly the world) is at Mont-Sainte-Anne and it’s not the World Cup track DH track 😉. That being said, a gnarly steep track with big features, this track takes the cake. It looks Amazing. Stevie would be proud, and absolutely PINNED 😃🤘👊

      @@pinkbike It's a really small town so it can't host large races, but it's the best place in america that I've ever ridden. My team mate and I bought a cabin on 1/4 acre for 4K about 2 miles away so we could stop paying for hotels and ride every weekend up there at platty. We used to host great parties with all the pros like Aaron Chase and Lars Tribus loving our team called WTR (White Trash Racing)

    My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

    want to see another amazing downhill course that should be a world cup stop,check out,''following Amaury Pierron et Frix Frix''.This course is in France and might be close to the limit of what the woman could ride which is what you want,they should be a little intimidating at first.Thats what progresses the sport and riding ability.

  • @slimdog72
    @slimdog72 Год назад +2

    Depends on how many minutes it takes to get down. If its less than 4 minutes then it's not in the top 5. More than 5 minutes then it could very well be the best in the world.

    No its not the gnarliest DH track out there. Red Bull Hardline in the DYFI Forest in Wales makes this look like a blue trail.

    • @dvs620
      @dvs620 Год назад +7

      That’s also famously NOT in North America. What I found funny is how one rider said that when a track is well built with purpose, then it’s not scary at all. Contrast that with all the riders talking about how scary Hardline is and it shows that maybe it isn’t the best built track there is. 😉
