The course for the U.S. Cup at Vail Lake this past weekend offered a number of sections that had both “A-line” and “B-line” choices. The A-line choices were a little shorter, faster, and more challenging. The B-line choices were the safer route for the riders who didn’t have the skills to take on the A-line sections with total confidence in their ability to clear them okay.
One of the best examples of the two choices was the one with the big double jump after a downhill section. The top riders could have enough speed to jump it if they wanted, or they could go a little slower and ride over it, or they could go even slower and take the go-around-it approach by using the B-line section that ran on the outside of the A-Line section.
