Words: GT

When Brage Vestavik first shared his vision for a freeride trail at Trysil Bike Arena, he was met with skepticism. Some thought it would be too intimidating, but as the saying goes, 'if you build it, they will shred'. Now, three years later, riders of all ages are coming out to rip laps on Brage's signature trail during the annual B-Rage Sesh! Check out all the action from this year's session featuring David Lieb, Joey Gough, Eliott Lapotre, Adrian Tell, and so many more!

 Read the the title as "B-screw rage" and had flashbacks to 10 speed derailleurs that wouldn't clear a 42t cog clearly.

 Was there the week before the sesh, when they were building the new drop. Brage and gang were in the apartment under us old fogies. Didn’t hear any partying - think they were working all hours on the track.

I walked up to the entry drop on B-rage - then went and did some mellow red runs. Those jumps are BIG!

 Welp... I'm pumped up after watching that. Mountain biking as it's meant to be. I also love the fact that they're building this massive stuff for the groms and pushing the thinking of the powers that be. We're dealing with a lot of those same sort of limitations in my area, where the push seems to be to build for the masses without really pushing for trails that create next level progression.

 That drop is huge but the landing looks so harsh. Like it's not steepnenough for the force of impact. Some guys did the drop ok then crashed because of the hard landing.

 yep. the first thing I said out loud watching it....."that landing needs to be steeper!"

 I though the exact same thing. But then I went there and stood in the landing, it is very steep, hard to climb on your feet. Its just a very large drop to do on an enduro-bike unless you have Brage strenght. A DH bike is a bit to slow for the rest of the course, so the drop is mostly done on single crown bikes...

 Was thinking the same. Did anyone land the drop other than Brage? The comment below kind of clarifies things though.

 it looks like people who hit it too fast were landing deep and getting blown off. Seems easy to overshoot but the ones who landed at the top of the landing looked smooth
