That would be cool if they ran them through wet concrete

Thanks for the update. The interesting part is what comes after the water tank, it get's everything wet and makes things very unpredictable! I don't like that rider's can jump over it, that just makes it hard on the slow guys, make everybody do it, put some rocks on the jump to slow it down. That wagon wheel is not my favorite, it is super hard, but it can leave a rider a sitting duck for a takeout from behind and there were numerous logjams that kills the race for those behind it. Just don't make it right after the start and let the pack settle out a bit 1st.

That isn't going to be a full wagon wheel like Reno.
Also the no joke lane will not be where it is on the track drawing.

I always wanted to go to this but it always fell on a weekend I have other shit going on that isn't in my control.
Hope to attend one soon, always got into the series and the GNCC races.
Does Taddy Blazusiak and Mike Brown still race these at times?

Looking good. One of these years I'm going to figure out a way to do the whole series, every track I see looks fun. Thanks for the updates, keep them coming as it progresses.

Thanks for your work J919!

Denver always has the best dirt and a big floor and it's one of our favorite stops.

For the fans, don't put too much stock in the track maps, they always end up way different. I assume it's because of what works the best during the build.

Looks like that turn is setup to be a rock turn?

While we like things harder we are totally good with not having a water pit. It makes for way less work for us mechanics! LOL

The dirt is great in the arena. The track designs evolve with the build for sure. It's a challenge to get a design that challenges the top guys enough but still doesn't scare off the other guys and kill growth of the sport. We are all more than willing to listen to feedback and suggestions.

Looking good Danno. Those tire "whoop lanes" are a good one.

How about some ice from that hockey rink? Evil

Thanks for the updates Danno!

This one is a horse show/rodeo arena Johnny. Which makes for much better tracks IMO.

I don't mean to be gripping and I know Danno has nothing to do with it, but the top picture is one of my biggest issues with tracks the last several years. You have a sweet log, but instead of it being a nice obstacle so much dirt is piled tip to it that it becomes a jump. I know I better just get over it since that's how things are now Smile

Anyways we're leaving right after work today and can't wait to see it all tomorrow!

OMG! That no joke Lane is serious business with the concrete dividers. That is way too awesome to see the riders only do it one lap. I'm not sure what I'm seeing with those two poles stretched across a jump, not sure which direction they will be going , That looks very creative and will likely be a spectator favorite if not a rider favorite. Great work, so awesome not to see the same thing all the time

They will go up those pokes. There is room to go between and on both sides. So a couple ways to get through.
The cement K rail is cool. My opinion at least until bikes get on the track that this is the most technical track this year so far. We are always trying to think up different stuff.

Thanks Danno, the No Joke looks tough, but that is the point. I don't think we have seen any struggles in the No Joke so far.

When someone falls off of those poles I wouldn't want to be under them. Too bad you couldn't make a shark pit under it Evil

Johnny Depp,
How about a sunrise section where we shine a big spotlight at the riders. Lol.

Just got here and the track looks pretty good. A hard Matrix would make it great Smile

The joker lane shouldn't be an issue. Anybody who makes the main can easily do k-rails. They don't even need that dirt pushed up to them. The tires in the middle will actually be harder.

The guys should shoot down those poles pretty fast, it's an easy transition onto them.

Still would like longer hard rocks and harder matrix,
But this is a good track!
