“enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others”

Yup. Sounds about right.

edited to add : I like the idea of buying local. Don’t we all? this is something I’ve had my eye on for a while. This year’s model is even more sick than the last.

beautiful.
I especially like how the spectators get involved as live crash barriers.
Very communal likes.

That first video reminds me of a scene from that movie “Off Road to Athens.” I think they’re in Scotland, and the course is so muddy everyone is just eating it coming down this one rocky, slippery section. Sort of like riding at Mt. Snow after a few days of rain, or at Sugarloaf in Maine.

Kinda miss the mud…

“troubles of others”

What troubles? That looks like fun, for a bloody masochist.
