Ride the famous Canadian Nationals DH race course and see if you match up to the pros. This run has it all - jumps, drops, flow, roots, steeps, and technical challenges. Includes the renowned "Cliffs of Insanity" and "Wall Street" which are steep rocky sections that are the main spectacles on race day. The clue is in the name.. You'd be insane not to ride this if you like a challenge
