DANNY: EP17 - SCHOCKL DH TRACK, IS THIS THE HARDEST BIKE PARK TRACK IN EUROPE?

[@maxknechtel4071]

My word. 4m30 would be where i change my underpants for the first time, nevermind finishing. Seeing a pro riding the trails you know really puts into perspective how bonkers fast they are. Hats off to you Danny, great footage! I'm going to lie down now for a bit and process what i just witnessed.

[@argowen]

Eek so, many points I found myself holding my breath, well done.

[@danny_hart]

I was like that on my first run haha!

[@meastabrooks1]

Danny has got to be one of the most unassuming riders out there. However.....he’s a top ten UCI DH rider! Love this guy!

[@StonyRC]

Mate, you downhill guys are Thoroughbred Gladiators with balls of titanium. Immense respect to you and all your fellow competitors.

[@HUSHHUSH-]

When Mr. Hart asks if its the hardest track . What a track 🙌

[@danny_hart]

Haha!

[@Bonky-wonky]

I could ride down that on my gravelbike if I lowered the seat 2”.

[@HUSHHUSH-]

@@Bonky-wonky you are a boss

[@andyukh1625]

Precision riding at its best, quality Danny !

[@wally8263]

Great ride, u r an absolute legend.Cheers from Arizona.

[@jez-bird]

Holy shit thats an insane track. I would break every bone in my body if I even thought about riding that... Fair play Danny, you rode that like a boss.

[@didoniceguy8540]

Respect, very good run. I‘ve been here recently and it‘s very tough.

[@qwasd0r]

You can only fully appreciate this run if you've seen the trail in person. It's gnarly.

[@djrouge3300]

No Pi**ing about, awesome footage Danny. Looking forward to what's to come!

[@RadulovicMTB]

I am so glad to see world-class elite rider struggling there. I almost thought I'm crazy when I thought this track is ridiculous. For my recreational level it was barely unrideable on some sections. Anyways, Gibim is awesome :)

[@danny_hart]

It is a good track, we only rode for 1 day, but I will definitely go back.

[@martinkk82]

Oh yeah! Home sweet home! In 2014 I broke my wrist at 2:51 😅😅 it's amazing to see one of the best riding our home track! Unbelievably fast! If the gopro wouldn't stabilize the video so much, everybody could feel what you had felt when filming! 🥁🍻☄️

[@simedinson984]

intresting spot for doing that also where is this? (is it just the go pro that makes it look kinda tame or?)

[@onesquirrel2713]

Insane how easy Danny makes it look. I tried to ride this track a month ago, how hard cold it be, right? Very, let me tell you. Many of the sections were barely ridable for me, even after walking fist and looking for the smoothest line.

[@denisvas4]

This is literally crazy to see. As a mountain biker who loves big jumps and have 0 problem riding any downhill tracks... I have to say... Schöckl it's not worth it for non-pro riders (training ground) in my opinion... Reward will never outweigh risk on such rough terrain. Steep, sharp and pointy rocks with a lot of steepness as well. If you fall be prepared to get few stitches in best case... (I've been there 1 week ago and I literally walked lower part of downhill track because I didn't feel like taking a risk just to feel good...) "No f*cking way someone actually ride this" was my reaction to the lower part of that DH track. + conditions in the video are 100 times better then last week. So imagine riding steep, sharp terrain without being able to stop.

[@pb8582]

Go pro are funny you look at the video and you probably think you could do that... Fact are most of us won't even be able to walk it 😂 What a run absolute beast Danny!!!

[@marteng1328]

walked it twice. would never ride it...

[@promodsteve7882]

Great vid, love it.

[@joarpaganus]

Spicy track for sure! Interesting to see how pros adapt to these type of tracks

[@danny_hart]

It is cool, lots of different types of sections!

[@helmutdschulnigg5798]

OMG! HAHA That speed and pumping looks so unreal! WTF! When this track looks that hard on Gopro I can imagine how crazy it is in real life! Unbelievably steep and technical! If you look for another really difficult track here in Austria you have to check the new Prolitzen at the Gerlitzen in Carinthia/Kärnten. This is the same type of track!

[@freeridetony]

Dani , you inspire me mate. Well done👌🔥

[@danny_hart]

I appreciate that!

[@freeridetony]

@@danny_hart 🙌❤

[@supidupiname]

Awesome riding!!

[@thedadtones8360]

Having ridden Schoeckl back in 2014, I think the Nordkette Trail in Innsbruck is harder (not even sure whether it would work with a modern super long DH bike). Haven't ridden the Feuerkogel Trail and it looks closed this year, but videos here on YT suggest that it also has a legit claim to the title hardest bikepark trail in Europe. Good luck for the upcoming season!

[@danny_hart]

Interesting! I have never rode that trail in Innsbruck.

[@thedadtones8360]

Might be worth a visit for a fun day (but perhaps not WC training, as the track is so different), if you are in Innsbruck anyway.

[@floimschnee4275]

I think Feuerkogel and Schöckl are equal in terms of difficulty. Nordkette: quite some time ago that I've been there. I think it is even harder. All of them great for sure!

[@israelkaufman2822]

this place is crazy ! one of my favorite

[@danny_hart]

Not so many tracks but what they do have is great.

[@israelkaufman2822]

Absolutely 🤘

[@dexterlines1735]

What a track.defo need to get wc on tracks like this

[@lman22]

Sending it as always danny

[@michaelroberts108]

So do u set the rebound super quick for stuff like that? I’m thinking back to your vid with Guy Martin when he said he set his suspension up like a pogo stick so it could cope with the bumps.

[@cowboyfanz35369927]

2 months in, still no dislikes. Shows how insane this clip is 🔥

[@TheMinidave69]

Looks tough an mental in places .who's gloves are you running

[@joeallday8785]

the gloves are fist chapter 14 gloves

[@jbflynn4134]

is it possible we see another vlog style episode like #16? i loved it

[@danny_hart]

Watch this space....

[@PabloDiabloPL]

Rough as F right from the very start! No warming up, straigh to business....

[@danny_hart]

Just how we like it!

[@harvuk7729]

how does this compare with the double black at dyfi?

[@danny_hart]

Totally different mate, much steeper and more natural, both great trails in there own way.

[@Igai99]

Fuck my a'**... I need to go there as soon as possible :O Looks amazing. I didnt know that the DH track on the Schöckl is this sick! Man that looks gnarly! Awesome!

[@franmcgowan4068]

That's quite... raw...

[@danny_hart]

Yeah it is a proper DH track :)

[@paulwagner1967]

1:24 thats me in red 😂

[@maxknechtel4071]

Have you recovered yet? That must have been a frightening experience 😄

[@karltate1]

Where was the gulp on that first double at the end 🤣

[@danny_hart]

Haha, not so nervous for these jumps.

[@JPThomp7]

Skills champ

[@m8rky]

[@AlexT.A.]

🤙🤙🤙

[@T800-p7p]

do you participating in world cup?

[@Mrkrish-iy6eo]

Can you help me for how to drive a bike like pro

[@leofreundh]

I have never been at Schockl😂, but I've been at Schöckl. However the Tracks are the same...

[@danny_hart]

Lucky you! I hope you will excuse me, my keyboard does not have the umlaut on it mate.

[@Potate_potate]

That looks painful

[@MaxMustermannnnnn]

The schöckl trailcenter is ridiculous. On their homepage the trails look like fun singletrails. But they are not 😂 First time I went there I had a 130mm trailbike 🤷‍♂️ You should ride this tracks in rain. They will become a nightmare.

[@BlueSkies123456]

Looks rough as f*ck, I've got arm pump just watching!

[@danny_hart]

It is a mega track, rough, but in a different way to normal.

[@HannyDart]

track looks a lot slower than current worldcup tracks. interesting stuff

[@danny_hart]

It is definitely more technical than most current World Cup tracks.
