Beautifully shot, but he's got an ugly riding style. He makes it look like hard work, constantly absorbing changes in direction where he's not got the line right.

Plus he put his foot down.

Bloody hell, thanks for that Gooby!

I initially thought that it was going to be a normal fast downhill but his instant, effortless and totally stable track stand to explosive acceleration made me think twice.

Not heard of him before but that was incredible. A total blend of trials and downhill. Just mind blowing and certainly makes me feel rather under skilled!!

Are you having a laugh or has the point of that video just damaged your ceiling?????????

The guy is riding what can only be described as metal things, quickly, on a short(ish) travel bike for a visual spectacle.

Other than round very fast corners I only see a foot go down after he drops 3-4m into shale / gravel (2m55s) and surely that can be excused! Down through the village he swaps line a lot for visual effect. He gets sideways and out of shape a bit because he is flying down something very, very steep and tight.

Honestly, that is some of the best riding that I have ever seen. As said above it is a trial / downhill blend, not an out and out downhill race.

Some people....

Or has the point of your comment just damaged my ceiling??

I thought it was rather nice. I am not going to comment on his style because he has far more skill and ability than me. Great video and it did exactly what a great cycling vid should do.
1) made me smile
2) made me want to ride

Amazing,i think he'd give Danny Macaskill a run for his money!

As much as I prefer road bikes, I am really impressed with that.

Awesome cinematography too - love the low DOF shots throughout.

Nice camerawork and some ace skills there, regardless of the rider I am impressed by any decent gravity defying antics on a bike, only wish I had the balls to try half of the stunts these guys do.

Impressive.

Watching that makes me want to get out and ride!
If only my bikes were in the same country as me!
