Coliseum Attack Track is guaranteed to be better than Ana-heim - the one that the riders and fans raved about! Its breathtaking design will have more wild obstac~es than the Anaheim course. The tough· and tricky track is built 1O force the riders to the limit - ready to squeeze those who let their concentration slip for even a second! Like the other 1986 SMC supercross tracks, the L.A. Coliseum course will have 50% more obstacles! Top riders and fans have designed an awesome collection of new obstacles to add to the infamous Peristyle jump: Broc's "Bad News," "Hannah's Revenge." and "Schwarzoll.'s Slammer." In addition, "Cox's Ghastly Gorge," the winning obstacle in the Awesome Fan Designed Obstacle Contest, will be built in L.A. The Coors Superbowl of Motocross track also features a set of triples that measure more than 70 feet from the first to the last peak - bigger than the monster Anaheim triple! Peristyle Jump is double trouble "The Coliseum track is so wickedl y good, it's scary," says Team Honda's Rick johnson. "Anaheim was tough, but this is so technical I can't believe it! And finally, the Peristyle jump is wide enough for two guys to come all the way down from top to bottom next to each other!" For the first time ever, there is a bridge at the bottom of the famous Peristyle jump; plus a tunnel under the bridge! This dramatically increases the length of the Peristyle landing area, and riders will go much faster and fly much further off the top of the ramp. The bridge and the tunnel add a new twist to the legendary mind-blowing trail up the spectator stands and through the famed Peristyle Arches.
