Holy crap! A 52MB file?!  :o

(Of course, if it weren't so slow on the other end, I could download it in a couple of minutes. Love my T3...)

At least it was more than just the weird bike attraction (well, the attraction was perfectly natural, it was the manifestation of the attraction that was a little off the wall). I just REALLY wanted to see a close up of that frame from the last scene after it apparently ripped in half on the landing! Dang... 8)

Actually the bike at the end is a different bike.  A Mountain Cycle 9.5 Quake.  The headtube just ripped off.  I'll post pictures of the broken bike if I get a chance to get them.  Rider was not hurt.  Mountain Cycle gave him a new bike.  



No body has safely cleared that gap yet.  Can't get enough speed.  Can't see it in the video but there's a 90 degree berm that's slowing up the approach.

Jimbo,

wow, that's a great movie! There should be more movies like that. The broken bike at the end is cool, how about a close up?

by the way, Matno, it took all of 3 sec for me to download the 52MB with my cable modem.

thanks again for the movie, have an Oz-some day!

Actually there are.  Vish is a talented mountain biker and video maker.  He's an Ozzie transplant recently moved to Hawaii.  Here are some of his recent work.  First couple videos are in Oz.  The rest are Oahu Hawaii.

My oldest daughter & I thought this was primo!

(Quick download on DSL...)

After my wreck a few weeks ago, I have a whole new appreciation for these lunatics! (Finally got back in the saddle today and nearly wore out my discs making sure I had no use for emergency health care services...

Awesome video!  Some of that looks like a lot of fun, some I just ain't quite young enough or crazy enough to even want to try.
