Mountainbike Awesomeness

Mountainbiking in Africa

Mountainbiking in Africa can be dangerous!

Urban Downhill !

Paulo Chiaia of the Zaeta posted this awesome on-board vid of an urban downhill race. Just love the huuuuge jumps, the dog on the track and rider chuckling to himself when the crowd cheers...



 ...and it looks like this guy's going it in his pinstripe suit!

Anyone know where this is? Could be Chile?

Crazy Hot Trials

Check out this awesome footage of a kid on a mountainbike and some crazy trials:

David Knight vs Gee Atherton

David Knight takes on downhill mountainbiking champ Gee Aherton:



Apparently, this was only the second run Knight had on this downhill course - a course setup for mountainbikes and one that Atherton knows well. Shows the pure talent, skill and speed Knight has.

Surprised that Atherton feels that it is 50% bike on downhill mountainbiking. I love Knight's comments about buying a bike from a shop and then competing at world level on it... because that's exactly what he did last year. He gets a standard Kawasaki MX bike... spends a few hours on it in his garage to convert it to an Enduro bike and then goes and wins a World Enduro Champs round on it. Genius!
