First glance at the Suzuki Nine Knights 2015 course

Apart from the all-familiar wooden “Il Castello” drop tower, the Suzuki Nine Knights MTB course has been re-designed to host the elite freerider mountain bikers at Mottolino Bike Park in Livigno, Italy. The slopestyle action kicks off on the 31st of August and culminates with the public big air competition on Saturday the 5th of September 2015.

The Course 2015
The creative co-operation between Andi Wittmann and Andi Brewi’s “Balzamico Trail Design” company promises a new innovative line for this year’s event. Dropping in from “Il Castello” the main feature’s biggest jump will be built with maximum air-time in mind, while two new kicker options feature creative reverse transitions. The top of the trail starts with an unusual addition, a mini ramp integrated in the course as a step-up-step–down feature.  Leading into the first step-up a bigger take-off will allow for more tricks in this first part of the course.  The Zimtstern wallride has been re-designed and the boner log has been replaced by two step-down variations allowing more speed into the bottom hip jump which will boast the additional Monster step-up landing, leading into another multiple-use obstacle, the Big Bike Quarter pipe, which also serves as a spine. The freshly shaped freeride line ends with a drop feature into this obstacle.
