Looks like some new layout for both sides of Red Bud.

They got rid of the off camber? Is that right?

And cut off that section in the top right?

And the carousel? Wow, that's a lot...

Not a fan of cutting the laptimes for the 2 minute thing... I get why, but there are some iconic parts of tracks gone begging now... Like the offcambers before Bradshaw bouelvard, or the bouelvard, or the wall turn all at highpoint... sux! Boo! Hiss!

Crush, there were some extra tracks in there from the RCU that makes the route a little hard to see. I think this is how it's going.

Looks like the turn before the Leap is tighter. It might be harder for 250s to clear now.

They put that hip jump turn back in before the leap turn like they used to use.

Looks like they got rid of that big table top and changed the off camber section.

lookit gibby getting jiggy with the photoshop. Smile

yeah i've been watching him work on the changes for a month, you could see where hes goin with it. For the guys worried about losing certain track features.....you really need to look at the history of Red Bud, they change the track a little bit almost every few years to keep it fresh. nothing new here.

It used to have that downhill triple there right?

I just don't like the removal of all the off cambers and berms in MX and SX...

It's getting flatter and flatter

The sky is falling!

I wouldn't worry too much about the off-camber.

Ah sweet!

It just bums me out, I totally understand the need for new venues that are more equipped to deal with the growth of a series...

BUT...

Watching vids from yesteryear you can definitely see defining elements of MX that just aren't there anymore... SX too!

PS. How did Reedy look?
