Course preview Erzurum
Aug 31, 2018·Snowboard CrossAs the riders are having their official training on the Erzurum course tomorrow right before qualifiers, here is a quick overview what they will ride on over the next couple of days battling for World Cup points in one individual as well as one team event.
The first ever Turkish SBX World Cup course is a technical one which will be very demanding with regards to fitness basics with the start of the track built on a high altitude of 2,670 metres.
The 750 metres long course kicks off with a 120 metres long straight section which features rollers and three wu-tangs as well as a nice triple camel back jump before going into the first left turn.
A right-left combo follows before riders will approach a double up over a tunnel to enter a long skate bowl-like right turn.
The track then will lead the athletes over a two-kicker line consisting of one 14 metres and one 18 metres jump down to the finish which is set on 2,540 metres.
