Someone sent that to me yesterday - it's brilliant. Wish I could ride like that (and that's him on a slow run...)

I'll bet the "local boy" he passes on the course doesn't mind so much when he finds out it was the winner of this year's World Cup (including, IIRC, the Fort Bill race) who passed him...

I wish I could do that. It's the way they make the jumps look so easy that gets me.

Ha ha, as it opened on the open mountain, I was thinking; I could do that! Barring a few places like rocks and passing other people so fast, it looked OK.

BUT THEN that woods section was incredible, and the way he can laugh at nearly falling off (like last year!) was brrilliant.

Top junoing too, would love to do that.

Ace video  :thumbsup:

I give in  -  what is junoing ?

I have tried googling for it and find it difficult see how "The act of giving one's infant child away to adoptive parents due to accidentally getting knocked up" is relevant in this context.

Wow. I don't think I'd even like to walk down there! I was laughing as I watching, imagining how I would inch down on my bike...

I like the way he quite casually says it "gets a bit gnarly".

Imagine trying to do that course on old skool mountain bikes, before bouncy forks were available in every village shop!  My arms would've vibrated to pieces after the first hundred yards.  :)
