Well the situation is that I introduced my Mum to 4x DH racing on Eurosport last week and she loved it. We then watched the normal DH the night afterwards.
Anyway, I saw from another thread that there was DH on tonight, but no t only was the commentator lame as, but it didn't seem to be a proper DH track, with most of it on tarmac roads.
So anyway, I have the Greg video of him commentating, and it's a good video but you dont get that sense of speed.
I wanted to show her some clips but can't seem to find the type of thing I am after.
Are there any good clips of say Steve Pete comepeting from some proper DH tracks. I have tried searching already but cant see any Eurosport clips for example, just clips of peoples' videos they made themselves.
Cheers

go to freecaster.tv si.
watch the archived runs from the world cup rounds.
maybe they're more what you're after.
This one should knock her socks off Si.

My favourite is the megavalanche guy in the cow suit.
Cheers for the sensible links - just watched some downhill on freecaster.
Roper - I have made many dubious claims in my life, but being a Dhiller was never one of them 😀 And yeah - shame I never gave a guided tour of the rock for you!

not sure if your mum would like it but I do 😛 He's damned quick for those conditions
Anyone ever seen the 'The Art of Downhill' clip? can't for the life of me find it again, was really good as well..
I love the one on freecaster where sam hill does a mental time, then falls off right at the end..
Cheers for the sensible links
If you want some "sensible" DH footage then have a search for some pf Clay Porter's films. "Between The Tape" and "F1rst" (that's a 1 not an I) are slickly put together and "F1rst" in particular is quite an accessible look at the downhill race scene.
Are you sure this is for your mum?
Sam Hill at World Champs last year?
Some great videos here - the Sam Hill run where he crashes is incredible. Love the one lowey posted too.
Anyone know if there is a clip of Matti Leihkonen doing a silly huuuuuuge drop at the end of the Fort William 09 race? Can't seem to find it.
