Red Bull Hardline Wales or Tasmania…which is harder? Matt Jones discusses the differences between the two iconic MTB Downhill tracks.

The geforce in some of those BMS is insane. Like your tires almost coming off the rim. How does this rate up against the Tasmanian track? It’s much harder to ride. I don’t think anyone would ever come here on their own and ride this track. What I find in Tasmania, I’m lucky to have ridden both. Is the Tazzy ones gets much harder when you start to think about racing. There’s like this critical speed where when you’re beyond that, it gets really dangerous. There you’re actually going really fast on a push bike. If you went wrong, you it’d be catastrophic. So there’s like this balance where in practice you can make it feel doable, but then when you turn it on it starts to get outrageous.
