Mont Saint-Anne World Cup Preview Video

This week, the UCI Downhill circus is returning to one of the worlds most storied venues on North American soil - in Mont Saint-Anne in Quebec Canada. I have had the pleasure of covering this race a couple of years ago and can tell you this is one high speeed track. Last year you probably saw the photos of Gee Athertons massive crash off the ski-lift jump or maybe you've seen some of our pictures of Sam Hill or Steve Peat in the famous rock garden. They all add to the lore of Mont Sainte-Anne.

This great little video shows some real changes to the track to make it even faster than before. The narration during the run is actually interesting and informative and adds to the experience. Having walked this track too many times with camera gear, I can tell you it will become so much rougher than you see here but you can see why these guys earn their stripes. Its a badass track, it's long and you have to let it hang out...enjoy
