Did anyone here watch this event? It's just on a whole new level of technical difficulty & risk.

I'm seeing similarities in mountain biking with the direction that top trad climbers have taken. The riders were getting bored with World Cup downhill tracks. There are now bike park trails which have features that wouldn't be allowed by UCI in world cup races and amateur riders are hitting the pro lines. So a group of riders built this track which does push them to the limit and has so very serious & committing features which could do serious damage if you get them wrong. Rampage is also getting way more serious each year.
When I rode downhill I loved the more dangerous tracks. Egypt at Gawton (Tavistock) was my favourite and it's terrifying to ride fast. I broke several bones & poked my gizzards about and ruptured my spleen but the sport just encourages you to go a bit harder all the time. I wouldn't ride this track though.
