Course

As an official Tour stop and Silver-Event of the FMB-World tour, the "World cup" of freeride mountainbikers, it is the task of the organizer to provide the riders with an attractive track, according to Jérôme Hunziker, member of the Flying Metal Crew, which organizes this year's Swatch Rocket Air. For this reason the course engineer - pro rider Ramon Hunziker- integrated a highlight in form of a so called Big Air into the track. The Big Air, which constitutes the start drop, catapults the riders into extreme heights close to the ceiling. For the first time in the history of the FMB- World tour series the required flying altitude, flight distance and speed have been calculated mathematically complementing empirical values, in order to ensure the safety of the riders. According to the evaluation riders will be catapulted to a height of more than 10 meters. In order to cope with the 9-meter distance between drop and landing, riders need to have a velocity of at least 38 km/ h. This results in a 1.9 g-force upon the rider, which equals the double of normal gravity force. "We are excited to see how the new track will be perceived by the athletes", says Hunziker. During the 250 meters long track the riders will have to overcome a total of eight obstacles. A jury evaluates the individual rides. Over 150 helpers will use more than 2000 European pallets and 150 tons of Humus during the ten-day set-up.
