Ride the Bongo Bongo and share your point of view
Leogang, May 22nd 2009 – Bikepark Leogang’s brand new freeride trail, the Bongo Bongo, is now open to the public. If you want to capture our bike park action on tape, you can also rent a helmet cam at the Bike Shop from now on. Enjoy!
Finally it’s done: Everybody can shred Bikepark Leogang’s Bongo Bongo trail. The trail splits up from the well-known “Flying Gangster” freeride trail. Right before the big, Kona bridge, which is located half way down the existing freeride trail, you have to make a sharp turn to the left to enter the Bongo Bongo. The masters of course construction, the „HU Cooperation“, did a great job. The Bongo Bongo looks a bit like a “small BC” trail, featuring a whole bunch of northshore elements, bridges and dirt berms. All located in Leogang’s forest. It’s your personal guarantee to enjoy a lot of flow including small jumps and gaps. The Bongo Bongo is not that technically challenging, but you should be a “little more experienced” rider. Absolute beginners might have some problems with the new trail – especially at wet conditions. To get a first impression, what the trail looks like, please watch a short movie on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l97-ifkbtCE. The short clip shows about 80 percent of the Bongo Bongo and was filmed, when it was still under construction. What you don’t see in the video: a northshore corkscrew obstacle including a small river gap that marks the end of the trail. To get some more impressions about the Bikepark Leogang in general, please watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2byV0NfeuGU. This footage was taken during the Opening Weekend and includes small segments of the Bongo Bongo, the Flying Gangster and the Speedster (DH-track).
If you can’t wait to ride all these trails and at the same time want to share your good times in the bike park, feel free to rent a ContourHD or POV.1.5 helmet cam at the shop located next to the valley gondola station. A special CamTerminal is waiting for you to burn your runs on a DVD after you filmed each run with the helmet cam. The fees are 25 Euros for two hours and 50 Euros for the whole day. Not that much for having a unique souvenir to share with the whole world online later.
