Bearing in mind I took four attempts to go up a little bump last week, I’m not sure it’s wise!!

I was surprised at how out of breath he was during a downhill…clearly he’s super fit and strong, it just hasn’t occurred to me what a cardio workout downhill MTB is!

He isn't freewheeling Cathryn, he's going absolutely flat out even on all those frightening technical sections.

Great vid, special cycling skills there, I had my heart in my mouth all the way…!

That's what I hadn't realised! I'm very new at MTB and every downhill is very cautious and gentle for me. I'm blown away.

And you're being very sensible. Just take it carefully and take it all in small steps. You'll gradually build skills and confidence. No point going crazy and ending up smashed up. Guys like Kilian are a special breed. Immensely skilled, very fit and just a bit crazy.

Makes me think of Kilian Jornet - maybe there's something in the name.

If that was a computer game, you'd say it was unrealistic. Heart thumping stuff.

That whole Nope section after the first town with the sharp turns and steep drops reminds me why I'm a roadie. Great video.

You get arm and leg pump as well. You need a rest sometimes from a downhill.

I've had my arms seize up after much slower, shorter, and tamer descents round here. Admittedly, my MTB only has 80 mm of front suspension though...

For those of you who enjoyed (or frightened yourself ) with that video I would encourage you to have a look at his YouTube channel which I gave the link to earlier in this thread.
Two of my favourites are these. I say "favourite" but I actually mean they scare me half to death:

Btw,Watch them in full screen.They deserve it.
