quite funny, but the lack of skill (and amount of riders RUNNING DOWN the drop) is shocking!
EDIT: BIG lol at the half naked guy with lycra shorts @ 3:04

i would suggest, mr JxL, that that is a much steeper slope than it looks.
They always put at least one carnage section in the Busa Jey race, for the entertainment of the DHers.
not that i went to Moelfe, so havent seen the corner, but you dont just fall over the front of the bars like that through being rubbish.

It's perfectly possible, I can assure you.

As olly says it was indeed much steeper than it looks in the video. I was part of that race, managed to stay on the bike all apart from one lap where i also spectacularly went straight over the bars. It was the point which was specifically chosen for the DH'ers to stand and give all the xc riders abuse. And for a bit of added fun they decided to keep it well watered as you can see from the video.\
It was quality fun though

Looks like they are taking it too fast.

hohoho what a laugh that race was, thanks for posting that vid again
i raced it, actually quite steep but definitely not unrideable. ass over the back end and dont lock up the front, or in BUCS terms 'off the brakes!'
i think most people fell off because theyd never ridden anything that steep before. i noticed a few were coming in way too fast, not realising how little speed they could loose once on the slope hence over the bars. it was also quite lumpy and loose and the the corner at the bottom was off camber a bit.
i thought it was an absolutely amazing course. really hope they dont tone it down for next year.

Was there a steep up on the DH course so the XCers could laugh at the DHers pushing?

that looks crazy steep for a XC course. I wanna go.

Yes, inexperience leading to people going into it far too fast at the top!

There's a guy at 2:51-2:54 who actually catches his bike in mid-flight. I am well impressed!

good stuff, some of those looked a wee bit painful, nobody hurt? apart from pride I guess?!

no-one in the champs race was hurt from what I heard anyway, but i was riding the. There was one guy who went over his bars the crone at the tp of this section and managed to knock out one tooth and severely chip the other, just as we were walking round the track (happened right in front of us) other than that there was nothing.
