Honestly, even if you're not into cycling, just watch this... it's... well, utterly bonkers !

I feel sick just watching some of it !

I expect one or two of my old MTB mate's will be tuned in,I used to watch it,but it's a few years since I last watched.I stopped watching as I thought that it was getting to 'Extreme' & borderline idiocy I felt guilty watching.

Who decides (pre-building) what is possible Vs what might kill one or two competitors?

Edit: or do they each build a single location to showcase their own capabilities?

They pick & build their own lines. There's often a bit of crossover, though.

Some of the lines from 2019:

By the way he celebrated, he was surprised and (not unsurprisingly) relieved that he made it.

No. Just NO.

Having said that I have an eye on a bit of the SW coast path near Crackington Haven, it doesn't have the jumps but it does have a 600ft plunge into the Atlantic..........

Found the Strava route https://www.strava.com/activities/6182809941
