This year’s finals track for the 2015 ESC Championship is a brand new, never before used course on the double chair side of the mountain.  With some old favorites and some brand new fresh cut sections, this course is an excellent place to test your skills. Designed by racers for racers, the new Plattekill Bike Park Getloose team has spent many long hours scouting, taping, cutting and cleaning the course to get it just right. Like all race courses at Plattekill, this year’s finals course is guaranteed to please with fast, steep, and loose terrain. The Getloose team made sure to tape most of this course very wide, leaving lots of opportunity for rider’s line choice to impact their results.

The track starts directly in back of the double lift on some very familiar terrain with Trail #3 Westfall to Evil Twin. The first section is a winding flowy and tight section where riders will have to navigate their way through trees, twin berms, and a few natural rock drops. Once the riders exit the first woods section they will have a short cat track ride that leads into a tight right-hander back into the woods. This will be the first opportunity for a go around.  Beginner riders will descend into the next section and weave their way through some tight turns, while the pro line will lead riders up a freshly re-built Scottsmans bridge and of a large natural rock drop that will provide more than enough speed for the next section.
