that was a butt clenchingly tight course. Just enough trail for the tire.

Wow. That seems faster than is possible to go, while staying in control. It feels like he's actually flying much of the time. I like his comments on some of the jumps, some of which are NSFW.

Lazy arse downhiller... misses the jump at 1:32 and then won't even pedal uphill

What's next? Tipping Death on the shoulder and going 'Don't you know who I am!?'

Some people just ask for it, man.

Fuck that for a lark...

I've done some really fucking stupid shit in search of thrills, but I would be dead in the first 27 seconds... Multiple times...

Did someone purposefully line the sides of the trail with pointy tree stumps just for shits and giggles?? What's next, punji stakes, claymores and head hunting orcs?!?!?

I really like that the audio hasn't been replaced with some douchebro epic anthem... it really adds a lot to the sensation of being there to hear how much of a strain it is for him to constantly keep the bike under control throughout the track. This would have had a lot less impact with some image stabilization and a soundtrack.

I was certain this had been speeded up the first time I watched it, but after a couple more views I think it's the jolting that makes it looks impossibly fast. If you watch but only focus on the upper part and on the scenery it merely looks stupidly, dangerously fast.

As for the trail... yeah, not for me. I could see the appeal if the course was much less lethal and the goal wasn't speed, but hey, each to their own. Does seem like a lot of work to build for the dozen or so people who can survive it though.

Video games certainly are getting more realistic these days.

Back in my riding days, I rode trails like this, but without the big jumps, on my road racing 14 speed bike with thin knobbies. No suspension and the wrong style handlebars change EVERYTHING! I'm still impressed my front forks never broke, and that I never went over a cliff. I usually went over the front of the bike at least once per ride, though.
Ahhhh, youth. It's wasted on the young.
