Moneyscalp 4X Preview

April 2005

Moneyscalp 4x was built about a year and half ago by me, (Stephen Maginn) and several friends. We wanted to have a course which was fun to ride and challenging for every riding capability. The track its self is 30-40 seconds long and consists of 7 corners and 14 jumps and numerous other obstacles.

The course starts on the start gate and after a short straight the action begins with a small roller into a double. This is followed by a right hand corner into a left hand corner with a small roller/step up double in between.

Andy Yoong taking the more direct step up line between 1st and 2nd corners.

After these two corners there is a double then another short straight which leads you into the step down as soon as you land off the step down you are ready to hit the triple which is one of the most fun and spectacular jumps of the whole course.

Greg O’Keeffe and Conor Maginn go head to head over the triple

After the triple there is a wide right hand corner with a big berm on the outside or an almost flat inside line. Both lines were fast but the pro choice seemed to be the inside as seen below with Glyn O’Brien.

After this corner riders faced two small doubles and then a left hand corner with a double on the exit. Riders pumped this landing and then had to sprint for the biggest jump on the course. The section after this has been completely redesigned which you can see from pictures below.

New section in progress, first two lips of new section

2nd last turn, new section still needs to be smoothed out and groomed a little
