superfly (Oct 16, 2007 at 10:34)

That's Ben Cathro onboard the Q-Bike Empire as stated. The course is Innerleithen and rd 5 and final of the Chain reaction Cycles NPS that i run. The guy is green is Stu Thomson, ex Giant DH Pro and Scotlands fastest dude for quite a while. He now runs MTBcut.tv.

Most riders opted to ride around that jump as there was a 8ft high rock step down before it into a huge chute that catapulted you at 30mph+ towards this ski jump. Without braking you'd be flying in excess of 40ft along and way too many down!!
