New bits in Chatel

There are a few new bits in Chatel Bike Park which I got some snaps of today. The infamous road gap has been completely re-built, bigger but better. There's another pump track which looks like a lot of wasted effort - who takes a hardtail all the way over there anyway? Also some work was being done on the old Ric et Rac top section, and is looking good. There's also some new doubles at the bottom of Komatrotrail (hopefully got the spelling right there!). In addition, but not in my photos (sorry) there is a new trail with a multi-syllable name, featuring loads of doubles, with a big ladder drop start. Not open yet but it looks to be very good!

The take off of the new road gap. I couldn't describe it as a booter, but it's definitely more of a jump now than a fly off.

Little bit higher, little bit longer, steeper landing. The run in looks better, plenty of time for panic cranks before the take off.

New pump track

The new doubles. This one was still closed and the line in looks a bit strange, maybe there is more spade work to be done. There's a little one on the left though which is nice and easy.
