I was once a feared descender as a recer, then many years ago had a horrific crash down Deardorff Rd on Mt. Scott - road rash all over, just awful. Took a little bit to get the nerve back. Now that I'm over 40, I have mentally slowed down. But there's something thrilling and challenging about fast technical descents. Good job Andy, ride on!
Beautiful descent. I found myself banking in my windsor chair to keep from falling over! What was your top speed?

Thanks! I don't usually use a speedometer, but I'd guess about 35-40 mph on the straightaways.
Faster than ever before anyways, because some angel had just repaved it!

Germantown??? Only a nutcase would descend this road!!! (That's a compliment!)
Seriously, great job. Camera fairly smooth too. What mount did you use?
Logie Trail next? Rocky Point Road?

Thanks! I'm planning to do all the descents off of skyline eventually, but I'm not in Portland this summer. I'll get back to that in September.
All I used was a 6 megapixel Canon pocket digital camera set on video, with a 1/4" thick piece of foam across the back, electrical-taped to the front of my stem. The second time I tried it I used a couple toe-straps and cracked the screen on the camera by getting them too tight.
Thanks!
