I'm fairly sure it's all done with computers and special effects. Video doesn't even begin to give a sense of how gravity is tugging at him when he's doing all those split second avoidance of death stuff.
So you don't think it is real?? He is really going down the track but not at those speeds?? I looked at the front tire of the bike and it is collecting dirt so he is really riding down the track, the question i would have is how many tries did it take to finish the track....Quote:

I've done a bit of MX and berserking in the woods on pedals, and I will say knowing the course counts for all the marbles, long as you can ride; that said, that course, at that pace, flawlessly?Quote:

For the record, that sort of extended perfection is awfully difficult to achieve, even for a World Cup competitor.
Call it a once-in-a-lifetime feat.
Not saying it couldn't/didn't happen, but it qualifies as a minor miracle.
It doesn't hurt that the equipment nowadays is so much better than it use to be. I'd owe a lot of it to that.
Spoiler: Show
True enough - what I wouldn't have given to have equipment like that...Quote:

There's a lot of people here braver than I

Bottom line is, no matter how good you are at it, none of it will survive a couple of the wrong kind of crashes.
For a long time, I didn't crash, but once I started I couldn't stop.
Big flame-out.
