I kept thinking two things:

1.) Okay, RBD...you really have no clue as to how to control a descent like that.

2.)  At what point on the way down would I have thought, "Shoot, I hope my keys are still in my pocket."

Wow...don't miss one of those hairpin turns or you'll land in the next country over! That was amazing!

Reason #692 why I don't mountain bike - I'd kill myself trying something like that.

I am currently experiencing flashback to the last time I went down on my tri bike with some sand on pavement on a steep downhill with a sharp corner. ... I wonder how many people who he passed are in the ER atm.

Looks pretty fun aside from having to pass (or get passed, in my case) on narrow trails.  Seems like they could've put some of the other riders in a hairy situation.  But maybe their used to it?

Nice trail, I wouldn't mind giving it a go myself. We have some pretty good trails in my local mtns but the drop offs are not as steep as those.

Pretty much, was the block pass necessary?  Total d-bags.

I'm a scaredy scare cat on my road bike!  I would not ride on a cliff.  Even though I don't know much about biking at all, and nothing about mountain biking, I was wondering what happened to some of those people they cut in front of!

I know you are saying this in jest but most times when I go out we do ride up first. Mostly on a different trail though or even most of the way on a road. Obviously most trails of this nature are one way only. When I first started mountain biking I used to say I only ride the uphill for the thrill of the downhill but now it becomes a training ride going up.

That was sort of what I thought too

Luckily our local trails never get crowded and your more likely than not to never see another rider the whole day.

The guy in front must of had a least a dozen dabs...  Amateur!!!!

 

I agree with the passing - total dbags...  I like the very last pass, almost put that guy in the railing...

Must have a great camera with motion control and a great suspension.  So little camera vibration...
