Hot disk brakes while mountain biking

I noticed something was going on with my rear disk, and since I had been braking hard I figured the disk might have gotten a little hot. Here is what happens as I spray water from my camel back on it. Enjoy!
I know this is bad for your brakes. Im not an idiot, I have a spare rotor that I was going to put on after the ride, so I was not to worried about warping it anymore than it already was considering it was in pretty poor shape. I just figured it would be a good video and something I have never done before, so I guess it was worth it.

@GreatestTop Ha ha! I live in Missoula Montana, which is a great place for mtn biking. I love this track! If you are ever in the area let me know, I would be more than happy to run it with a new biker.

how fast were u going?

[rm2racer]

@epoman16 On some of the straight easy parts we would hit speeds over 35 mph. Average speed on downhill of this trial was usually around 27 mph and it was about a 6 mile downhill, so disks got pretty hot by the end of it ha ha.

@minkyman8 Did you read the description?

[jobeanie123]

@rm2racer Oh god yes! I love Missoula! I've been there once, and it what when I was much younger. I didn't bike or anything, though. That also happened to be when my dad got into a car accident so I flew on a plane with my brother to New Mexico without adults to stay with my grandmother. That's really about all I remember.

I also remember finding a snake in Missoula...

@rm2racer Hey, thanks for the invite. I doubt I'll ever be in the area myself since it's very far from where I live. In fact Montana is almost half an Earth away. I don't even know how to get my bike over there. The track looks beautiful though. Nevertheless I appreciate your invite.
