That’s pretty cool. Have to say I don’t think it’ll work, but I hope it will. I could do you a loan of some pads if you like? I’ve got spare knee and hip stuff, no elbows though.
Heh. If you do it, I could loan you my video camera too for the naysayers, or for the public enquiry 😉
From what i’ve heard TJ, the WC DH run is actually easier / less exposed than the red run, when ridden at “normal” speeds.
It isn’t easier. Less exposed maybe, because of all the raised boardwalk on the red but I reckon the average level of the DH is about the same as the hardest bits on the red, and it has some bits that are a lot more committed. Still, most riders that are comfortable on the red could get down the DH one way or another, perhaps skipping some sections, it’s not as bad as you’d assume.
