Just got to Bad Gastein (Austria) this morning and took a look at the course. Craziest fucking thing I have ever seen, wouldn't have believed it without seeing it.

To get up to the course you get a ride through town on a 4-wheeler, then you get lifted up 3 stories to the start ramp on a cherry picker. As you make your way through town, the course is as follows:

- Step down crowd gap into...
- Big right facing hip into...
- Table top jump into...
- Step down road gap into...
- Rail on house

Everything is packed in super tight. My stomach is doing knots just thinking about it. Wish me luck!

Expect a full write up with tons of pics soon to follow the event, and stay tuned for the live webcast!!

Here are a few pics...

Thanks for all the good mojo guys. No one has hit the course yet, they are still making some changes.

Speed looks a little slow into the hip, good into the table, and then you really have to throw on the brakes before the second step down road gap and then again before the rail house thing.

To see more details on the comp, and for a full list of athletes, go here>

Not everyone on there will be here though... For example, I'm pretty sure Rainville isn't here...
