So that's what Mags does at his weekends!

Looked easy: they were hardly pedalling!

Must have been a real thrill, that; spectacular scenery, high altitude, no wvm or peds, or yaks.

Hope none of 'em left anything at the top!

The big drops at the side would have made me very careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i quite like the idea of this MTB stuff. i mean, you get a lift up all the hills in a van and then they give you the bike and you only have to ride down it.

yep, could cope with that

It's going to make your calves burn and your hands ache!
But no it doesn't look massively technical as long as you don't look over the edge...it aint there if you don't look at it...

Sorry, but the only thing impressive about this video is the travelling they must have done to get there, that and the logistics. It's quite a boring descent in my opinion. I think y0utube has better to offer

Me, four mates and our sherpa went to Everest Base Camp via Pang La Pass whilst traveling from Lhasa in Tibet to Kathmandu in Nepal - on mountain bikes obviously! The video doesn't do this justice. If you want a life changing adventure, just do it. PS I know we didn't go very fast, but I think we all knew it was a once in a lifetime run and didn't want to miss a thing. Oh and the nearest hospital being a week in any direction was also another factor....

dodgy you're a bit unfair i think, the quote from the blurb next to the video, i thinks its fair comment, id take my timne and savour every moment too

I don't think I was unfair at all, it is a boring video. What makes it interesting is the background story. On face value, it's a bunch of blokes riding down a moderately steep, beige coloured mountain.
I reckon another video of a bunch of guys riding down Snowdon would be more interesting.

Got a link for that

Don't have a link handy myself, feel free to have a search of youtube Yenners, there's loads of great videos on there. Someone posted an awesome clip of some pretty talented lads hammering through a forest on another thread earlier on, awesome stuff.
