bit of fort bill inspiration there Nige wrt Haibo :thumbup: looking super solid! I'll bet that 2 story drop is gonna be boosted straight into that berm, pretty much the same way the riders boosted that man-made rock boulder garden at La Bresse

afterthought: some commentators were saying that with such a huge catching berm, why didn't the course designer at Fort Bill make the drop off higher, using the words " something to actually test the riders with". So why not something similar for Haibo? not a crit hey, just a question based on that recall.

Also, can you reveal the new camera locations?

Where can we get some more real info on this, like where can we watch from, where can we take pics (if at all)?
Is this where we get tickets?

cant make the jump any higher than it is as the run in is pretty flat. But going to make the catch berm a square berm so you slide into it - it wont be a rail berm thats nicely concave! Wanting it to cause some big drifts
