Sick backflip man, you were totally ruined by the time you got down, but found it in yourself to send a massive backflip for the crowd. Total legend, respect.
Thanks to the magic of GoPro cameras, the Internet, and amazing riders like this, those of us who will NEVER do anything like this can still get a rider's-eye view of what it's like. I loved the ingenuity of the course layout, too. What an amazing video - I loved it!
Everyime i watch these kinds of vids i just marvel at the sheer architecture. The fact that all these buildings on so many different levels have been put together in such a way that its even physically possible to create a whole line from top to bottom to ride down, blows my mind! Awesome skills To the architects and to the rider. I mean THE STAIRS!!! THE BLOODY STAIRS!!! Thiis guy is nothing short of epic!
I tried to do a small drop on my bike and important components started falling off. In hindsight, I really should have known better, while it is a mountain bike, it's also 20-30 years old and was never built for that kind of stuff lol.
agreed, i have watched these videos over and over, its just amazing. proof that if there is something impossible to do, there will be some humans that will figure it out.
this is one of the absolute coolest things i have ever seen in my life!! insanely inventive course design and amazing performance (also it's so cool to see the whole town enjoying the race)!
That was one of the most amazing things I have seen on UA-cam. You are truly talented man. How smoothly you went through near death over and over. Unreal.
He should dial down the narrative though. Breaks the tension instead of building it up like he thinks. Carpet sound all is needed and more moaning to match it.
He's been riding since he was little and has been riding downhill for a long time and has competed in slope style. Many portions of the course aren't that hard though but if you want to go fast that's a different story.
😂 i know this is a joke but I’ll explain anyways. He is on a DH bike which means 200ml of suspension of both ends.normal trail bikes have 130-150. DH bikes also have a low amount of gears so with the suspension slowing him down and being on a bad gear for Climbing and he also Won’t have a dropper so his seat will be extremely low so that’s why it’s the hardest

This is the route these locals take everyday.. noticed the escalator? Those were recently made by the city government. Recent, like in the last 10 years. Imagine the elder.. millions cannot afford the flat city center.. this is what they can afford. I'm so glad they are bringing fun and culture to them.
Just started watching the downhill bike races on UA-cam. It’s unbelievable & exhilarating just watching from my arm chair. I can almost feel the adrenaline rush,. Every rider is so brave & quick thinking. I’m assuming that the course has to be practiced as those turns are mad & I worry that someone leading or making good time may loose cos they take a wrong turn. The avalanche downhill races are awesome but this way up there. Thanks for sharing. I’m over 60 with arthritis & would love to be able to ride my bike like that! I’m now in my e bike stage💖🇬🇧
But the track he went down is set up for the event. It doesnt exist like that normally and even if it did its an extreme skill level to be able to ride. plus how would you get you bike home up all those stairs.
I’m getting on a bit now, it’s been over 20 years since I rode MTB properly. But I’ve been watching your videos for a while now Sam, and this is the one which has finally locked in my intention to get a bike and start having some fun again. I think it was the uphill section - you’re obviously having a hard time but still LOVING it. You’re an inspiration to me, and I’m sure lots of other people too. Respect.
@Top Side hahaha I'm only 14 but I love to mtb, I used to ride my dad's old (25 years old now) specialized full aluminum bike, got myself a new one recently and fell on my face the first time I went out, haven't ridden since due to exams but I am kinda feeling off about going back out(I fell while going downhill at 40km/h, lucky I didn't hurt myself) I feel like I'm going to fall again, I fell because the path was covered with leaves and I slid over a rock.
MAN! Its like whoever built this town came from the future and knew MTN Bikes would become sucha thing and just constructed this beautiful neighborhood seemingly made for it!
Dude so when they bail or f up on the course just continue but it's like how do they learn the course it's so many different turns and obstacles dude to just nail it like this is super rad... So awesome to watch
I love how he's actually saying hi to all the people on the way down. He's like an ambassador on a mountain bike.
