Worth watching if only for the fence crossing technique!

hilarious! Love the bike throwing 😀
They went about things in a forthright way back then!
Some proper mud there, 😯 58sec's to 1.12 for the worst offenders (for those with a short attention span)
Good find 😀
Yeh thats pretty much what I do 😳
Great stuff.
I'm surprised they didn't just steamroll through the fences on those bikes, they must weigh 50lbs.
Brilliant!
Wonder if they worried about gear ratios and what wheel size they had?
The bike-throwing part was excellent - I've certainly felt like doing that a few times!
What blazer for cyclocross? Loved the bike tossing. Great find.
Great stuff.
Would those bikes have been fixed gear?
Fantastic! Thanks for posting.
By 'eck that must have been hard work!
Concrete frame and slick narrow hard tyres, fixed gear, high Saddles and a field that looked to be about 2 feet deep in gloop. Then add what looked to be a series of fences and gates in dodgy order ('elf 'n saaaftee wouldn't allow that these days).
At one point, a one of the participants looked like he was even struggling to pick his bike up to chuck it over a "fence"
Brilliant! 😉
A pilot episode of #Svenness perhaps?? 😀
Awesome vid!
typical singlespeeders....
can't stay on the bike for more than a few minutes...
