HD MacAvlanche 2013 – Full Race Run to 8th place.

Video of the 10min downhill track used for the 2013 MavAvalanche on 27th July 2013 at Glencoe. Starts high up accessed by the cliff hanger chairlift. No real path for the majority of it, just taped across the bare terrain and find a path some how; the last 4 mins is down the Red downhill tracks thats really rough of rocky.
Bike is a 2011 Santa Cruz Heckler with Fox forks.
The MacAlavanche is a no fuss event nofussevents.co.uk/

Experiments in Speed

Experiments in speed. Inspired by those great men of the salt flats, those men that in the 60s pushed the Land Speed Record from the 300s up towards the 600mph mark in jet-propelled cars built in their sheds. We decided to do what we do: build a bicycle, but this time, in the spirit of those pioneers of speed, build it to see how fast we could go…
