They changed a few things this summer. There is a new table top after the rhythm section and the added a very long whoop section(start small but get pretty big at the end)-good luck. Everything alse is pretty much the same, there is a lot of sand in the new section
p.s. this is D756 country.
Hope to see everyone there.

The corner before the whoops is tight and sandy, if you can blow through it and get your speed up you should be able to skip across most of the whoops. If you aren't the speed of Ricky Carmichael, you might have some difficulty with them. I still can't figure out the fastest way to get through them.. you will definitely have to see them yourself. The old farts are gonna wanna hop through them, the more "agile" riders can just pin it and hope you don't swap up towards the end

Negative, after the rythem section then the right hander to a tabletop (what used to be a step up) you take a right handed sweeper to a straight, then a tight lefter (the sandy corner talked about earlier ^^^) then the whoops.

Splendora is where San Jacinto Cycle Park is- the site of the GMB II race.
