MTB suspension - it not all about the bike

Interesting idea for a helmet cam, shows how much work the rider still has to do, even with long travel forks.

Mind you, he is one of the best in the world right now.

" it's not all about the bike "

Nope.....I'm guessing strong arms are probably pretty essential too.



Oh yeah, and skill probably comes in a tad handy.

Great video!

He had an amazing run at yesterday's World Cup in Italy and was on for the win before he crashed...

that is fairly amzing, to still come third after falling, running back to collect his bike and then pedalling from a standing start.

That was the world CHAMPS not a world cup race (early this year because of the Olympics)

Amazing results for the brits - unfortunately they don't get anything like the press attention the track team gets because downhill is not an olympic sport :(

It depends how much you are paying. It will be better if you all chip in together.

The more you pay, the faster I go. :shock:

Any opening offers??????? :arrow:
