I couldn't go that fast with a chain down there!

Just goes to show that skill is still the overriding factor in downhill, when they get the track right!

Hat.
There were very few points where I thought "if I were him I'd be pedalling". Many where I thought I'd have put the brakes on and lived with being a bit slower afterwards!

That and there are ways to propel a bike that don't involve pedals (pulling up at the right moment on the bumps and things).

Well... That is what I mean by skill :) being able to work the trail is a massive part of mountain biking which many people don't really pick up on.
The problems come on tracks like Pietermaritsburg, where there is over a minute of pedalling. It just ruins downhill racing.
