The girls must love being presented with their prizes by a leather clad hottie. Can't they get a buff shirtless guy with a massive dick to give the girls their prizes?
I dunno man, maybe that's a question for the sponsors of the event instead of a comment on a highlight video on PinkBike. I'd love to do this race, it looks like too much fun.
I say ditch the girls all together (maybe just for one race) and have the buff guys present awards to guys and girls! Now that would be quite the sight...
Wow. The most incredible part of that race was I recognized Todd Tanner's jersey rolling by from when I was a teenage dreamer watching pics of him in MBAction boosting.
i had no idea what Shortcourse off road racing was untill i looked up Rob Haughton...that shit is intense! cool vid too, that track aint techy but it sure is faaaast!
This is an original DH race course.
Back in the day they would race down this mountain on hard tails, with little to no suspenison and friction pull brakes. They would hit speeds of 50mph...
So yes, it is wide dirt path, but it's a big part of the history of our sport.
I raced it twice in the 90's. Once with V- brakes (sketchy) and the following year with gen one Hayes brakes. Both years my bike computer clocked over 50 mph, 60-80 foot drop off on the opposite sites of the road down a gravel road (marbles ). Today nuts at the time. Sitems it's still a bit crazy today
Dunno, It doesn't seem like the best type of way to enjoy bike riding to me. It's more fear than fun if your actually riding it. Just my opinion though...
