    Mother of God.

    Makes you wonder why the BMX track in Marley is getting flattened for insurance reasons.

    that looks COOL! Well except for all the high-vis wearing, no lights, red-light breaking commuters going slowly at the top section :rolleyes:

    Juh-hay-sus.

    That...is really bad for the heart (of the viewer). (Especially around 4.48 when you think the inevitable has happened but it turns out the cameraman merely glanced off a tree. I physically jumped back in my chair.)

    Some amazing riding and views but those guys are know ends. Pushing anyone slower than them out of the way, passing without warning and passing on dangerous corners.

    No doubt about it brilliant...... and the thoughts that they don't get to ride back up :-) --- Since there is a bit of money flying about for the banks 400 Billion or so maybe we can get a grant for a chair lift in each of the 32 counties --- great tourist attractions

    I want to do that

    That's pretty much what people can expect if they come along to this:

    Must have taken an age to ride up there. Lazy gits though, they hardly peddled at all on the way down.

    Considering they stopped at chairlift I put money on them not riding up
