    There's dumb. Then there's purposely taking the brakes of your bike dumb.

    Still think its dumb as for hot, well whatever your into. She looks like the illegitimate love child of Steve Davis and Sonia O'Sullivan to me ;-)

    To be fair, it's all relative.

    Is this really the conversation that needs to be had?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭WillyFXP


    Yeah, but can she climb?

    Or corner?

    Did she stick her foot between the back wheel and the seat stay, like we did as kids to stop the bike at the bottom?

    :eek:

    She's pretty good looking and obviously 1000% awesome.

    I'd say DH riders could easily claim to be superior in the cornering department when compared to roadies.

    I wanted to see how she stopped it. Surely she must've kept going for some distance to get it down to a comfortable enough speed so she could stop it using her foot on the rear wheel without the bike flying out?

    she just kept rolling until she slowed down, on rough terrain like that you'd only need a few hundred meters tops of flat or slight uphill to get down to speeds where she'd be able to turn comfortably.

    Id be a little skeptical. I think there are parts of this video that have been doctored and have cgi.

    In particular the segment from 2.21 to 2.27.

    From about 2.21 to 2.22 the cyclist goes by and it appears to be authentic. And then from 2.22 to 2.27 it changes to a section with the speed gun and the cyclist going by. (I think that segment change unnecessaryto begin with, if authentic).

    Firstly, the cyclist, imo appears to travel faster in the second segment than in the first - despite it being from the same run. Second, the cyclist seems to accelerate when they reach the bottom. Third, the dust, and the general movement of the bike from the bottom of the hill onwards, to me, appears unrealistic and computer generated. And do speed guns operate in reverse? - for objects travelling away from it? Would they pick up a cyclist in the distance or would it require extremely accurate pointing?

    Most of the footage appears genuine, but I have my doubts...
