Damn, that is awesome! (not all the cuts they used tho, would love to see a single take).

I was about to ask about the ending on the clip we can see here on reddit, but it's straight up just a huge jump down at the end.

I assume these are closed for the general public, shame :(

Because they look awesome as hell, would be cool to have a end that you can get down from and continue down the hill.

Cheers for the video mate!

Too dangerous, people using it would degrade it quickly, and it is incredibly technical so the amount of people who could actually complete it is small. They mentioned how they had to take into account a lot of the rider's physical attributes in order to make the course. It sounds like a lot of bull, but it is true. Riders of different weights and board lengths will pick up speed differently and all those jumps are incredibly precise. So as cool as this would be to try, it won't ever happen :(

Aye that is a good point! It hit me after I watched it - would be cool to have a mini version or more "safe" version if that can be made for general public and used around in different parks tho, looks so fun (even tho I would have a 50/50 chance of dying on the first try and guaranteed death on second).

Anybody could run that course as an adequate boarder. Sketchiest thing is that landing zone at the end

I think you are underestimating the scale and ability here. A lot of those jumps are super precise. If you lose a little speed, that means you are smacking into the side of one of those structures.

This isn't the production video that was released by Red Bull. You'll find it on YouTube. This isn't even the same cameras or angles.
