Track Description
The Gatorback track is another good example of pure MX,
located in a lime pit with a healthy dose of sand mixed in, the surface
is unlike anything else you’ll find on the GNC circuit. The start
sends you careening into a lime pit, but not for long as you’ll be
launched out the other side and towards the first of many tabletops, after
negotiating a couple of hairpin turns and safe doubles, you’ll hit
a big left handed sweeper. Upon exiting the sweeper you’ll hit a safe
ski jump followed by a small double and a right hand turn that aims you
towards the face of the infamous “Elevator” jump, a huge step
up with a long history of breaking hearts (among other things). A few more
turns, a couple of nice big tabletops in front of the stands, another downhill
and you’ve just completed your first lap.
