Why is the cross-country course not being used at Fort William for the world cup or for any of the stages? I think it's amazing how fast downhiller's reaction times are. Well done on your win Greg.
Having just done this track yesterday for the first time I have massive respect for the pros ! It's frickin difficult btw, I was on a trail bike though but pretty tough and waaaayyyy more difficult than mr minnar made that look .....I'm in awe
I'm new to mountain biking so go easy on me. Are these guys riding hardtails or do they have both front and rear shocks because when I hit the trails on my hardtail bike the back wheel bounces off of every bump and rock so that the back of my bike is swinging back and forth, making it really hard to control.
some guy! takes skill to talk down a run like that......if it was me it would be "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oooooooooffffff aaaaaaaaaaaah then clatter lol
Awsome vid hopin to go there some day but i liv in wales so its hard to get up there but i have bin to glentress which i dont think is to far away from fort will but still awsome vid there should be more like this one
I haven't done this track yet but i have been there a couple of times and from just speaking to people after their run i know it's a killer of a track. After one run my mate can barely speak so it's impressive that he can talk the whole way down
By the way...had a look through this a couple of times. Am not a mountainbiker, but in Ft William for years. A LOT of respect for doing that! Incredible skill! Am a motorbiker of 30 years and that's hard enough! Fair play fellah!
that makes me feel a little sick!! the last bt is SO quick and SO rocky up top. all the way he is so matterof fact whilst clearly centimeters away from killing himself!!
Wow you're epic
