  • Wow you're epic

  • WTF

    

  • nice run and great skills

  • it's insane to think that anyone can come down something like that so fast... just wow!

  • 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.

  • Amazing 

  • baller

  • how much air did he get on that huge jump?

  • That was brilliant! You would have to think as fast as a F1 driver the speed he was going! Saved to favs ;-)

  • 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

  • grrrrr, roots

  • damn minaar...so casual.

  • I Didnt know Bear Grylls could ride a bike

  • hero.

  • aaaaa........AWESOME !!!!!

  • damn u need a good bike for that terrain and to be vrey skilled. Awesome video!

  • It takes pretty strong balls to do this with a full suspension bike, but you`ve got to have steel ones to do it on a hardtail! :D

  • awesome takes some skills to do commentary at the track

  • the sound is horrible

  • yay im doing that on the 11th i think and im only 14 and i started downhill last autumn yay

  • one time i felt with the speed you had at 5:39

  • Unbeliveable. Takes tremendous guts.

  • Tht track is absuloutly amazing  rememb last time i done it on my orange blood-goodtimes

  • I NEED to go up to Fort William! Is this the Nevis run?

  • I have walked down this track and that was hard enough.................

  • Ya full front and back suspension eight inches In front eight in back

  • Where does he carry his balls? Clearly they are too big to swing below

  • @jaybeebee14, full suspension bikes

  • in this run the average is about 20mph

  • 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.

  • @jaybeebee14 this is a full suspension bike with 8 inches of travel on the front and rear shock. A different world of riding than hardtails.

  • and the crowd go wild lol

  • I was thinking... I could probably handle this..... then he got in the trees... then i was like naaaahhhh.. not at all lol. Someday

  • every time i watch this i smile

  • how did he managed to stay on his bike i don't no......wow!!

  • some guy! takes skill to talk down a run like that......if it was me it would be "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oooooooooffffff aaaaaaaaaaaah then clatter lol

  • greg minnaar is my fan !!!!!

  • wow ....

  • 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
