This line starts in the woods, then pops out into the open. It includes 18 mandatory gap jumps (incuding the hip where the line turns right), some of them being absolutely massive and trickable. The line ends in a split where you can hip either to the left or the right.

Vanta was created by Laurie Greenland and Duncan Ferris in 2021, and premiered on youtube in the Red Bull "Sound of Speed" video in September that year.

First big event (after some Covid related events hiatus) was April 26th 2022 - where lots of UK's best pro riders had a wonderful afternoon ... you'll find their videos with "Vanta Jam".
