If Danny Hart can win it in the wet, surely Blake can ride it in the dry. We’ve seen legends of the sport made on this race track, but hasn’t been raced as a World Cup for several seasons.

What did he not hit at 1:36 am I missing something? Is there a jump there or something?
I will always remember my run on this freaky insane track(with a single crown fork) when Danny Hart won the World championship in 2011. Biggest experience ever. Would love to ride this track again. Mauritius island represent 🇲🇺
You should go to "Sorata" in La Paz – Bolivia
That looks SO FUN!!
So much drama;D
You know how steep it is when theres goats chewing grass 😀
Cool thanks for the video! Great job on letting us average rides see some awesome trails.
That nervous laughter – LOL! Pretty insane track though!!

Imagine overshooting any of the berms😬😬😬
is this track doable on an hardtail? Would you do this on your nuke proof Scout?
Im no dh rider i fink I just shat meself
Have somebody ever did this trail on an hardtail?
the music to this is awesome
Other than the constant guitar solo playing the video was good
as someone who generally finish closer to the middle of the pack than dead last in Enduro Sweden Series can i say that i would get down this track but no where near race pace, probably at roughly the speed that blake is going at best
Im not a downhiller…. airing jumps into steep berm.. then rides off doing fat manual haha. Yeah this bit break ..break.. breaks overheating 🤣🤣🤣this guy is funny
Lovin the background music! Who is is?
Would love to see Neil Donahue, Blake and Danny Mac ride this together. But they’d have a ton of fun
xc bike?
Blake. My man. You are scared??? Why don’t I believe you???
The thing is those corners are easier to ride with more speed but to do that you need ridiculous skill and a set of massive balls 🙏🏻
It's a normal track of downhill
Had to add a comment to make it 667, was not happy
Up north we call that a flow trail eh
Blake is smart is'n it ? 🤯😎
Poor blake 😂
I know what you're thinking … This is not that bad. It does look rough, but it's easy rideable. Well it's not. It's rough, scary, ridiculous … I've ridden a bit of World Cup tracks. They are all amazing. Rough, hard but mostly doable of course not the gaps and stupid stuff, but mostly yeah. My time was of course like like 3 or 4 times slower of the record. In dry obviously. What I can't fathom is the rain. These guys do the same track in like 25 seconds more than dry. I don't even go there in dry.
Where is your hardtail ?
Blake’s noises at the start 😂🤚
That changes from the hard tail ahah
Ps Chambéry is in France 🇫🇷.
That track is pretty awesome !!
Exxxaacctllyyy! Do what u want ,don't what u can't ..
Its ur life after all, not theirs.
LOOK AT THE WHIPPPP
Nepal Ko downhill road Dekhya raina raixa Khuire haru le😂
Can I do it on my 100mm hardtail do you think🤔
My average ride on double green
OMG
The fact Blake was able to bomb down that so fast and smoothly is impressive
Blake you're a soldier. Always brings it top man 🤙
ok , need to be careful screw cap don't come loose
It went together easily in less than an hour. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
this is me riding on my local green trail
