Track Description: Another SX-MX hybrid, Birch Creek’s surface is loamier than any of the previous tracks. Located in somewhat of a valley the track boasts a high-speed start stretch with a left hand turn at the end of it. One more turn and you’re going up the first of many short up hills, this one in particular is a launch of sorts, and eventually takes you back down to a tricky off camber and tabletop. Shoot down hill and you’ll approach another tabletop and straightaway under a spectator catwalk. Turn left over yet another small tabletop and set up for the first step up, land go right and there’s a step down triple followed by a deep whoop section, turn right and start catching gears for a high speed rhythm section made up of big doubles. Wind around and back up hill and you’ll find yet another tabletop followed by the last of the doubles, One more jump and you’re headed towards the tunnel (which you’ll go through). After passing the finish line, you’ll have an opportunity to try your hand at what most consider the biggest jump in the GNC series, a gigantic uphill triple is the last obstacle you’ll encounter before moving on to lap two. Plenty of passing opportunities and the chance to test yourself against the big triple will keep you coming back.
