even if you're a hardcore roadie you've just got to watch this

Downhill MTB vid

Don't get me wrong, I have no aspirations to ever ride like this, I value my wedding tackle far too much but the skill of these guys is just incredible

Oh, and don't forget how everything looks at least 3 times smaller/less steep/slower than it is in real life when viewing..........

 

[Dayvo]

That was mightily impressive!

Bit like my ride to work through the forest (well, there's lots of trees! ).

Hate to think how many bones I'd have broken if I tried to do that. Looked great fun, though.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Wooo. F*ck that. Very impressive, but include me out, I'd be a big pile of broken bones in the first 100 yards. Good vid though.

 

[CopperBrompton]

Very impressive indeed

 

[yello]

Oh my lord, that is seriously terrifying! Those jumps frighten the carp out of me, I'd be a broken mess if I attempted anything like that.

Saw that a few weeks back but without the crappy soundtrack. I think it is in France somewhere (well the camera man was speaking French) Almost tempted me to add a MTB to my stable

 

[Melvil]

You know its a hard course when you're flinching whilst watching it! Fabulous...makes me want to head down to Glentress tommorrow!

 

[tdr1nka]

That looks sooooo much fun!!

 

[mr Mag00]

excellent!

A couple of mates and I went to a trail centre thing this morning, nothing like that but tricky for us. I left the ground going over a hump/jump once, because I accidentally hit it too fast, gave me a fright and I made quite sure I didn't do it again! ;0)

Fly through the air? Naa, that's for daft kids who heal up faster than I would. Can you imagine how much it would hurt if you crash off one of those high ramps? Shudder :0(

 

[dodgy]

Seen that video before, but it's always worth watching again. These guys are very talented, I doubt if novice riders would attempt that course, there are some gaps in the north shore that have to be jumped

Having said all that, bet they don't ride to the top, poofs

 

[fossyant]

Seen it before, I am humbled.....couldn't do any of that...as said, bag of bones within 100 yards.......

 

[peanut]

yeah I could do that easy peesy


in my dreams ..........................awesome, crazy but awesome

 

[ComedyPilot]

'Watches it again'

I knew downhill MTB was gnarly, but that rocked. Like a few others on here I have nothing but respect for rubber people that can do that, but I missed the boat for that side of biking, and WOULD do myself some serious mischief if I tried it.

Respect though.

I'd love to see the guys in those twatty courier-style alleycat videos try that...
