    I was thinking to myself how i could do it... until the stairs at 0:53 and pretty much everything after that haha. Some of those squeezes between the telephone pole and the wall looked so narrow considering the angle of entrance and the speed. I wish there was footage of the individual elements rather then just the helmet cam though.

    Wow, that is amazing.... That guy definitely has some balls for doing that track! As beyond_ban said, it looked easy until 0:53.

    Here's a website with some pictures, will look for more:

    I probably would have been fine till 1:15 at a slower speed and then eaten shit on that drop.

    This guy was wearing a suit and tie though, which makes it even more awesome haha.

    I used to LOVE racing downhill, some of those sections looked SUPER fun! the only section that I thought was insane was the back to back to back succession of stair gaps.

    Wouldn't be so bad if that crowd wasn't inches away from you as you're rocketing down some of those narrow trails.


    I think that would just freak me out more then anything.

    I'm am avid downhill mountain biker and that was no doubt cool. I can tell you that having an awesome bike with serious suspension makes all the difference keeping your speed up and going down all those jumps and bumps. That being said, those guys have balls.

    COP has nighttime racing down the Black Diamond racing course, it's pretty balsy too.

    That was awesome!

    Some of those spaces between the telephone pole and the wall definitely did not look large enough for a set of handlebars.
