This is worth watching to catch the stair riders at the end.

Don't knock it till you've tried it. It's a skill I've finely honed.

What a great find! I like the chap who had clearly taco'd his wheel but only noticed after he had had a fight with the marker tape ๐Ÿ™‚

..and the accident that started around 4.40 had a sense of inevitability about it.

fair play for 21" frames, fully rigid and canti brakes... That middle section didn't look too steep until you saw how long it took them to stop.

LOL. What cracks me up is those who have a hissy fit & throw their bikes into the bushes after crashing.

Thats it, guys....blame the bike instead of your own shit riding!

No shortage of balls there! At what stage of their runs did they think they were going to use their bar ends?
