re-mount

not much room to re-mount before heading down the ramp- could create some backups at the top

now with video. I didn't get to ride it this week, looks like they gave riders an option.

Ummm.....Eye of the Tiger? Fo' real?

I couldn't tell if the bridge was faster or not. They had a flyover at Leesburg VA. No bailout though. I was NOT smooth remounting in such a small place. Didn't affect the race though.

Looks Pretty cool!

Nice set up. Really spectator friendly.

I could imagine kicking a step and doing a lip skid all the way down the steps! OUCH that would hurt.

The transition at the bottom of the ramp looks a little suspect. I imagine if the ground was wet there would be a few crashes and pile ups.
Also looks like a few finishing touches are required.None the less Pretty Sweet.

Apparently at the CSAJ CX race in Toronto on the 22nd will have a scaffold obstacle built to go over the course.
Not as cool as your trailer though.

Look like the "Green Monster" they have used for a flyover here in Louisville for the past few years at the USGP, except that I think that one is made of all wood.

No, there is not much room to remount on top, and the drop is pretty steep (usually have to do it without clicking back in to my pedals).

But it is fun, and certainly is one of the crowd favorites.
