    Gulp!

    I wonder how many even survive.
    They should keep their dogs on a lead. Unless that is part of the course.:-)

    Wow...........!The dog was bad enough but it just got worse and worse !I think there was even a 'wall of death' type SIDEWAYS jump near final quarter.Bike sounded a bit 'rattly' towards end too!Must be some feats of engineering!As an ex road racing cyclist have to say the proximity of kerbs seemed as scarey as anything else ...I wonder what fraction make it to bottom without crashing!

    Wow, some of those segments on the stairs, he only has a fraction of time that his tires are actually in contact with the ground to make adjustments.

    You guys are all new to downhill and x-treme cycling aren't you
    Nevertheless, it's an impressive ride.

    I don't do that, but I used to be a bit of a boy racer on motorcycles in my wilder young days. Also some rock climbing and commuter cycling in heavy city traffic, which in my mind is potentially more dangerous than the x-treme downhill stuff.
