I rode Glen Helen last year the weekend after the national. It was a tough track. It was soo beat up and wore me out quick. I have a new respect for the pros. Lot's of fun though.

That downhill looks like a great place to practice stoppies! And, Talladega (?), that wicked, banked first turn has to be a rush with 8 or 9 of your closest buds banging elbows......Evil

Try doing is with 43 other riders haha. It gets pretty hairy! Love the place. I've been lucky enough to live within 90 minutes of Glen Helen through my entire life. It's not but it once was but its still good.

If you get a chance, go during the Nationals on a Thursday. Get there when they open, watch the pros ride, then go out and ride. The track is super rough by the time they leave but it'll beat you into shape lol. Helps you a lot with line choice by forcing you to search around for the smoothest line.

It's gnarly and very intimidating but after riding there a few times it makes all other tracks feel like nothing...
