Work continued to shape the new Glencoe Park ahead of next Saturday's competition and the first riders got to test out the massive kicker by the Main Basin which can clearly be seen from the A82! Once fully shaped and built it should be 45ft from take off to landing, as Warren Miller says “man can't fly, that's why we build kickers”, well you can certainly fly now on Meall a Bhuiridh !!
The Main Basin has excellent cover and loads of width to crank up some big turns and the Haggis Trap is full, but the left side is riding like a natural 1/4 pipe. Spring Run and Flypaper also good cover. Thanks to 'Growwild' and 'littlegreenman for' the pix.
