I've been there three times 2.5 as a B and .5 as an I (so keep that in mind from a perspective of pace as it was definitely slower....thank God
. There are a lot of walls but really, only the right hander of the corkscrew really stands out (and most tip toe through there for that reason)....most of the crashes on those days were turn 13 (the Karresel) and turn 20. The Karessel is the one that has to be watched out for because there's three levels and if somebody goes down on the lower level, the bikes sliding up to get whoever's on the banking. Lots of minor elevation changes (enough though that the suspension will get a good work out), lots of turns, really tight and technical (which helps keep the speeds down and definitely gives the smaller bikes a good advantage). I personally love the course (once again, my pace is slower) - you're always working and the lines are critical. Personally, my next few days are dedicated to working on body positioning and trail braking so I'm really looking forward to Sheny and Jeff as thats all youre basically doing the whole time. If I was a betting man, I'd say your SV is going to LOVE it....surprisingly enough - it's not that difficult to make clean passes (I have video where they're being made cleanly on me left and right in the I group sessions
. I would say its definitely worth checking out and for 50.00 it's a no brainer!!!!! Just my .02.
