Is this what mountain biking means??

[Gary Stockton]

Won't see me doing this - not even in a Land Cruiser ....



CP: Fixed it.

 

[Chas]

Doing what Gary, I can only see your text, should there be a link?

 

[Gary Stockton]

Yup there's a YouTube link ...

Ah! got it now on that link. He must have a death wish, mad as a hatter!

Jeez!!!!

You've either got to be completely insane or have gonads the size of an elephant's (though with the latter, it may be quite hard to ride a bike!)

That looks awesome but there's some distortion there from the very wide angle lens on the camera making it look much steeper than it is. Notice the barreling effect on the horizontal plane. Still rather him than me though! If we're talking ball size try this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iwiVwA221Q This guy did the riding stunts on the Skyfall Bond film.

Shit the bed is all I can say,or pants in his case!!

Was that a parachute on his back?

Amazing jump, but I was more impressed with his return journey. That's one hell of a drop-off!

Pure concentration and confidence in your ability and your bike. Love it!

When I watched it on Utube, it took me to another vid, helmet cam of the same ride, I don't know if this happens for everyone...

And, while you're in the mood...

While I appreciate the bravery of those people who do these hair raising rides, a backflip over a 72ft canyon is just showing off and I hate smartarses.

 

[Towpack]

What amazes me about some of these really daring/dangerous/crazy stunts is that you have ​to get it right first time!!

 

[Gary820]

Don't think my balance is quite good enough to try that on the mtb!!

Errr.... Yes and no....

With you there Chas, but if anyone deserves the right to be a smartarse, these guys do! Sadly, its all about sales promotion, so they have to show off, it's their job.

[Chas]

Now that's proper biking, without the need to show off.
