Wednesday Videos: Roost Carbon, Shipping Containers, Bobsleigh Tracks

by 2

Announcing the Roost Carbon, by Ridiculous Bikes. It has an assortment of very progressive features, and you can find out more here.

(In all seriousness: How far off the mark do you think some of these things are from things we’ll see in five years?)

That’s our favourite thing so far today, but here are some other recent videos that have variously landed in our inboxes or lunged from neglected playlists. First, two men, two bikes and a bobsleigh track. The recently enabled 60FPS videos on YouTube look pretty swanky, don’t they?

Remy Matailler kicks up some dust in Whistler. The beginning of this has some ace audio, though if your delicate ears are offended by sweary rappers, the rest of it might not be your cup of tea.

Highlights of the Suzuki Nine Knights 2015:

Sticking with ridiculous mid-air feats, Uncontainable gave us uncontainable incredulity:

Finally, if you’re thinking of building up to that with some skate park practice, remember: Things don’t always go to plan.

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.
