    The gap? Over the sheared forks of a Canyon?! :eek:

    Maybe I just need to get some brave pants :p

    From a different angle, in slow motion, wow, I know these crashes can be brutal but I'd probably never enter a race again if I was caught up in something like that...

    it's the guy in red on the far side at 15s you feel sorriest for; he had his own little crash simply because he was distracted by the main crash.

    Manage to watch 4 minutes before I got too mad to watch anymore. What a pack a pillocks. Cause buses and vehicles to swerve and coming into blindspots out of no where.
    On a side note, as an avid cyclist if anyone cut me off on a pedestrian crossing when they had a red or used my car as handrail...they'd be walking home and I'd have a new bike.

    Incredible bike handling skills, but just a ridiculous attitude to personal safety, health and the safety of innocent bystanders.

    The only one who came off well was the cop, as for bike handling skills, the number of slips and collisions would indicate minimal.

    Video removed now, but can download for $3.00 from the film makers website, I guess I'll just have to take the comments here as a synopsis of what it's like.

    Read this first and thought you meant 'came off' as in fell off the bike.

    That cop was such a badass. :cool:

    And about the only reasonable one there.

    He wasn't ticketing them, he wasn't harassing them. He was genuinely concerned that their stupidity would get them injured, badly.

    A point backed up by the road rash and collisions for the rest of the video.

    Maybe permission was given for Clarke to have it on his bike , I doubt fitscience would be silly enough to put it into the public domain if it was done against the rules

    A bit long for most at 8 minutes and dirt jumping won't get much interest here but compelled to post this.

    A temporary dirt jump track in Apotos, Santa Cruz, California that ended up lasting 15 years and becoming a pillar of the local mtb scene was recently demolished, but before it was lost forever, a team of guys shot this amazing video, anyone who looks back fondly on places they hung when they were younger that are no longer around will get the sentiment, with some great shots and music to boot.
    Some guys look gutted to see it gone.

    Even if you have no interest in mountain biking/dirt jumpiping I'd recommend giving it a watch.

    One of my favourite sections of strength in numbers even though I've no real interest in dirt jumping. Didn't know they'd demolished it, knew they'd tried a couple of times but a local developer had stepped in and bought it. Sad to hear they've destroyed it.

    There is a campaign online to find a new location to develop. Did you visit it Scrappy? Would love a pump track in Sligo, would help with my MTB skills and something to do if I only had an hour to kill on the bike. Dirt jumping is a different beast, but would love to give it a go even if to just learn to jump.
