Looks good to me. I was missing the hip jump, but the new quad is pretty cool. This is easily the biggest revision to High Point that I've seen.

Who wants to ride along with Jeremy Martin?

Cool track, looks like they must water it right after the press day ride. Lots of airtime to rest their arms over that new jump.

Hopefully a great race ahead.

I really liked that hip jump. This track is just littered with triple step ups now. Atleast they still have the tunnel jump as a possibility

I think it's a cool change up. It's a shame the hip jump has gone though

Daniel Herrlein was winning on style.



DC remembered to keep it elbows up.

Cool layout, but what is with all the tracks having the same style obstacles? Seems like they are all putting in triple step ups and rollers that are in a turn...that are not big enough to double.

LOVE the one lap features every week! Kudos GuyB and to Jeremy Martin for doing it. Hard not to root for that kid. He just seems like such a good dude

I miss Incredible Huck already. Sad

Loved seeing guys dive to the inside and block the run up to that double. Twas' a great passing spot and showed off a riders style and technique.

Yeah hip jump was cool, two thumbs down for removal...also when they had the wall around the corner by the start was cool...rest of new track looks good.

While photographers and fans were fond of the jump, I talked to several top riders who didn't like it, and approve the change.

IMO the national tracks are getting boring in layout. Like supercross tracks have become with same venues having the same obstacles, now the nationals are copying the same obstacles from track to track. Triple step ups now seem to be the obstacle that is being put on every track now. Started with Larocco's Leap, now it seems every track is implementing BIG double/triple step ups.

The one lap videos are awesome.

Now the bad stuff...He did a lap in 1:58 per my math...WTF this is a national, not Daytona SX. Bring back Bradshaw Boulevard already, and the crazy off camber woods section that they had leading up to it back in 2003.

Although I agree the vid are awesome, I also agree that this isnt high point at its finest.

Agree not all changes good and would like longer lap times, but would rather be able to see it unfold on TV with a little shorter lap than not see it until a week later...Still doing 30 +2

I agree with what Jeremy said in the vid, some new some old and looks damn fun overall. Big fan of this kid, he always sounds genuine.

Why do lap times matter? They run 30 +2 regardless.
I swear you guys will be negative just for sake of being negative.

Track looks great to me.

I remember when Bradshaw Blvd. was a rather nice rhythm section. Looks a bit flat to me know. I'd love to see them go back to the late 80's layout. Mondo off cambers back then.

Bring back the wooden wall as it was unique, the hip jump for straight up boner air, the incredible huck and Marc Peters. The new quad looks good though...

Live TV = 2 minute lap times... The original off cambers that were so challenging in 1977 "and would be in 2015" are gone
forever... Jump city baby... I'm 52 miles away, I'll watch them jump from the big screen...

How about the off camber woods section in 1981 when no one ventured there except the hill partying people.
Before it was Bradshaw Blvd.

Forget the laptimes. The track is just one big step up after another, If you have to make a whoop section on an outdoor track , you have screwed up already. This isnt negative. Its bad track design.

Not sure I'm in love with it.... Used to be my favourite track....

No more gp section...

No more Bradshaw Bouelvard...

No more cool replacement for the Bouelvard ala 2009...

Now a few less off cambers too and more triple step ups....

Agreed! Even Budds removed their off camber in favor of in-turn rollers. Not a fan. I miss the bowl turn before Big Gulp as well.
