4-cross course

This course, already well known by the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup* enthusiasts, offers different jumps with steep turns. The 300 m long course required more than 70 truck loads of soil in order to produce the numerous thrills provided by its 30 m vertical drop.

* Take note that the course will be open to all from July 27th, 2009, until the end of the season.

The rails section, well hidden in the woods adjacent to the 4-cross course, offers challenging moments to riders with its “North Shore” style rails judiciously set and designed by “Dangerous Dan Cowan”. Ladder bridges, skinnies and teeters succeed each other to make sure that the course will offer spectacular rides with unforgettable moments.

Pump track

New since last year: a pump track is set up in the Inferno X-Zone! A 2009 must: the circuit is longer - the longuest ever built at Mont-Sainte-Anne! A pump track by definition is a nearly level closed circuit that can be ridden (and accelerated upon) without pedaling.
