Insane downhill action.

[slowmotion]

Holy moly! I found it impossible not to flinch at 1:53.

If the rider had made a serious mistake, I do NOT think that the padding on some of those trees would have been up to the job!

Truly bonkers.

That's the antithesis of slowmotion @slowmotion

Crivens! I don’t even drive that fast, on straight & flat bits.

Blimey, it looks lots slower from the course cameras - that's insane.

 

[Beebo]

Im sure they walk the course beforehand, but that’s a hell of a lot to remember at those speedy

When I watch these I always imagine that I'm watching a really scared bloke on a bike trying desperately to get away from a man who is armed with a whistle. Sometimes it sounds like whistle man is gaining.

 

[I like Skol]

I like to think I am quite fast downhill on a mountain bike. I'm not!

Great video, I feel DH racing is an oft maligned variation of cycling by other cyclists, but it's such an intense and focused event. I miss chasing friends on real mountains (now living on flat lands), but I don't miss the bumps and bruises. The video reminds me of how fast I wish I used to think I was.

Camera work taken to the next level on this video, a drone following a DH rider.

This seems pretty bonkers to me:

Note: Even though I don’t have Facebook I was still able to view the video.

 

[Saluki]

No! Just no. I wouldn’t have even walked that, back in my climbing days.

A match for tdf /GT decending....!

At least they have disc brakes now!!

 

[Ming the Merciless]

I couldn’t even survive that if it was a video game and I had to control the bike.

You think he used brakes?
