That was excellent, sadly I can't see something like that ever being allowed here.

Class, could have all been over at 29 seconds with the dog on the track

Just showed my wife that video, she felt sick watching it, and said to me "don't even think about it, It'll be a wooden box and not just broken ribs WHEN you crash doing that"........Don't think my road bikes would be up for it:rolleyes:

Unbelievable how narrow that course was in places, absolutely no room whatsoever for error or hesitation,and like feelingstressed said, could have been over very quickly, the oul ticker was in the mouth watching that, got an adrenalin rush from the point of view cam work, wonder what it's like for real:eek:

Brave photographer!

Ah jesus, sensationalist much?

Didn't think it was that scary looking to be honest. Guy was probably wrapped like the Michelin man doing it and an experienced rider would probably have more control biking it on a course like that than your average joe would have walking it.

Well forgive her, she doesn't watch or partake in this kind of thing, and to her eye it was dangerous, so "sensationalist" is a bit much. You on the other hand may blaze down trails for a hobby and see this as quite normal, and thrilling, but not everyone is perfect are they?(and yes I'm being sarcastic)

That was savage! My heart was in my mouth several times.

Cheers poochiem

I don't blaze down trails for a hobby myself but people do and we don't have cyclists coming back from their Sunday morning mountain biking/road hill cycling sessions in wooden boxes. Some people say it's too dangerous even to cycle on Dublin streets for example. Forgive me if I think "cycling=death" is sensationalist.

The camera gives a claustrophobic effect. The guy looks perfectly in control to my mind.

Typical bloody cyclists, no regard for the other road users. He was even using the path at times.

Did he even care about the traffic laws, did he heck.

At least he was wearing a helmet!!!!

monument

He should just use the road.
