Being a bit of a peddler myself I like having the riders bust out that last bit of strength to get over the line.
I think it's good to have tracks that mix it up as well - fast bermed up switch backs, intense rock sections, whoops sections, super fast freeway bits, single tracks, multi-line sections and pedal outs at the bottom. Really tests the riders in multiple areas and I like that they have to be athletes rather than just natural risk takers and smooth descenders. Picking lines, adjusting their airs to the speed of each run, holding some gas in reserve, strategically planning their run, etc. Mixing things up makes for a really interesting race and in that respect I liked this track. Kind of reminded me a bit of the old State Mine track in Lithgow, loved that place.
