Get out there and ride your bike(s) this weekend.
All I head in my head was, “Don’tbaildon’tbaildon’tbail” over and over again. Sick!!
Righteous. Proudly shared that one.
Holy fuck a duck !!!!!!
That first vid made me so nauseous that I’m afraid to watch the second one.
Damn. When bj makes an appearance he really makes a fucking appearance doesn’t he.

That young man was made for downhill. What a ride.
I love the subtle screams appropriately placed throughout the soundtrack…it’s all in the details. The first video gave me a rush, the second vertigo. It’s more impressive with the wind in the mic, the shriek of the whistle, and the dirt kicking back from his bike. The first one makes it look easy, the second gives you the whole picture.
I’ve never seen a townhill competition before. By comparison, the forested mountain tracks here are so predictable! I have seen guys bouncing around town on bikes with big wheels and no seats doing some kind of two wheeled parkour, but never anything quite like this.
Thank you for sharing. Oh, and yes, of course! I ride every day.
Drunk. Where’s my bike?
Now were roll’n with I502!
…see what happens when you don’t leave yourself enough time to get to work ???…
…it’s rush, rush, rush, all the way down the hill…
…second one was cool ‘cuz ya got to see the body english & the air time involved…
!!!!!!!!!!!!STRAVA RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was just unreal. I would not have thought a bicycle to be physically capable of such. Beyond amazing.
Badass, Juan Grande! Excellent inspirado, though I can’t do what that brother did by a long shot….
What? no dogs on the course this year? weak!
Still blows me away to watch people riding this course… Does anyone know the history of this event?
