Both XC races were insane. It was hell getting up at 4:30AM to watch it live, but worth it. Especially since the courses started getting so technical a few years ago. There is a drop between tree in this course. It looks like nothing in the video (they barely even focus on it), but I remember seeing a side view of riders hitting it from past years and from lip to landing is over 6' for the women, and probably over 8' at the speeds the men were hitting it.
The DH was a nail-biter to the end, but nothing compared to the XCO.
