Pretty impressive. However, they are either crazy, as Warrior observed, or they are some of the bravest athletes around. Problem I see is they seem to be a split second away from being awarded their very own Darwin Award and thus removing that brave, athletic DNA from the gene pool. Idiocracy wins again. Still impressed.
what fascinates me is the technology that has gone into modern mountain bikes. Trails we used to crawl up on hands and knees or with ropes, are now game for going DOWN on mountain bikes. insane....
Daaaaamn. Reminds me of the speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi. I did mountain biking when I was in college but not to this extreme. A hairline fracture in both arms pretty much convinced me to back off.
They would need to tell the EMT's to bring a tool box to disassemble the seat from the bike. My butt cheeks would have it in the death grip and probably wouldn't let it go.
Immense trust in his equipment and personal ability. No room for second guessing. My reaction time has never been that quick so...nope! Can't say that I would, either.
