i thought it was a pretty cool track, but could feature a few more jumps. It has a really nice loamy soil base similar to Ardmore (hence the deep ruts). Riders of the day in my mind were Hurley, Micheal Phillips did an awesome job, and Rhys Carter was ripping it up. It certainly would have been a difficult track for the riders, but was great to watch (if you weren't standing in the howling wind). I saw Hurley find a line on a deeply rutted uphill,which was basically off the track, and Cooper picked it up the next lap around, it took a while for most of the other riders to find it. Katherine Prumm picked it up in her second lap of the next race, which shows she is a quick thinker and is really looking out for the smooth lines.
A great days spectating.
