The original plans, designed in 2006,
include 7 downhill courses of various grades which would make up a total of
8 km of downhill courses, a
four cross (4X) and BMX course including jumps and berms, a
cross country (XC) circuit running over 5 km through the entire site and finally all the supporting facilities and accommodation you could imagine.
