doubt it; firstly it would be full suspension bike and proper technique would be to stand up out of the saddle - legs being the best shock abosrber there are.

thing to notice is how steady the camera is compared to the front forks - shows suspension in action, both bike and human body.

Bloody Hell!

I thought i was watching a half life re-enactment at first.

6 minutes of heavy breathing - not bad for free, you normally get charged £1.50 per minute for that sort of thing (Not that i'd know )


That track looked in better shape than some of the pavements round my way

5mins of that will leave you absolutely watsed

Cool!

Thats a hell of a long course - rode at the BUSAs the other weekend, DH times there were around 1.40!

Was also stupidly muddy... Amazing fun though, anyone who doesn't play with bikes yet should give it a go!

I am Apalled!...

<Rant>
If I go for a gentle drive on a proper unsurfaced road (Green Lane), I get acused of carving up the countyside.

Here we have a complete off road track from the top to the bottom of a mountain.

In parts of that video you can see where the track has eroded the surface, and is damaging it.

Just cos the bloke in on a bicycle, its OK.

One law for them, and a different one for us.

I am not against cyclists enjoying the countryside, but that is irresponsible damage to the countryside.

Apart from the above... They must be absolute NUTTERS!

I hope they are required to have personal Medical and accident insurance, as the risk of injury must be quite high, and I dont see why I should pay for them out of my taxes.
Danm... I am Ranting again...
