 I always like seeing that head/swivel GoPro setup. And it's cool how you can see his POV from the reflections in the goggle lens as well.

 To each his own I suppose. Just nice to see something different from the typical head and follow cams every once in a while.

 Its uncommon to use them racing down stair sets.

 the only time ive ever had a total blow out is with a tire that didnt fit the rim properly or i installed it incorrectly. its possible that a sharp impact further up the course unseated part of the bead and it finally failed on this flat landing

 I'm really looking forward to Schwalbe introducing those double-chamber tyres. Unless I'm wrong, that could be salvation for these kinds of terrains, where they're flying over nasty stair sets half the time. But most importantly, I'm so glad he's alive. It's probably just a subjective sentiment, but all that square-edged metal and zero-tolerance concrete seems so much more menacing than the surroundings of many natural DH courses. Then again, the latter might be technically more difficult than city courses, so it probably evens out.
