Video: See What Speed Sounds Like

Issues with language aside (they’re really not trying to demonstrate synesthesia through the medium of MTB videos – although that would be AWESOME) this is a cool video in which our hero, one Mark Wallace, rides some steep frozen stuff very very quickly, with a rumbly loam and squeaky brake soundtrack:

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
