 its the old switch-er-roo though. the fox(gee) is chasing the hunters(400 riders in red). its a back to front fox hunt. check this sweet video out starring metallica where the fox comes up trumps - www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3BSjV0IkWU its worth the full 7 mins.

 certainly made the video and commentary interesting! 80mm fork?
  • 2 1

 80mm travel, 29" inch wheels,,, on that trail!!! Claudio you're a fricking hero!!!!!.....

 Riding my mtn bike is fun. Chasing my friends and taking/exchanging the lead on a run is way more fun.

 I was hoping that one day in the future when it's ok........that Claudio demo a 29er with 80mm fork on a crazy trail. The day came and what a blast. ...."I have a rear flat but we're near the end...whoooooo hoo".
dude is an incredible rider as you see him take any line without a thought and then dealing with the mess in a killer style. 9.9/10 dude.

 Sending him blind off hecklers rock was fun
  • 7 1
 Tricked out XC machine w/ short stem and DH handlebars and fat 29 tires
THAT'S how it's done, hehe
(and as others have pointed out, it sure helps having been a DH pro, wink wink)

 I know the uphill FFWD was necessary, but I would have loved to hear Claudio waxing poetic on how lame up-hills are...

 Such a shame they always fill in the top section of the course (to make it unridable) after the race.
  • 2 0
 It is a shame. I love that section. Its just flat out and so many nice jumps in it.

 Guessing this track is in your neck of the woods then boys? Looks pretty perfect to me! Love the forgotmylogin name too! Class!
  • 1 0
 Yes! Love to finally see a course I feel would be able to ride...but would need much more than 80mm travel...and much less talking! Thanks Claudio for the good moments, and please continue filling the gap until next season

 Claudio rocks and we all heard him say he's going to enter a world xc, so now he must, and of course have his camera ion recording it for prosperity
  • 3 0
 best Claudio to date !!!!, that was great he sounds like he had so much fun , would love to ride that trail network
  • 2 0
 Lol I just realised Sacha only let Claudio in front because she knew Hecklers rock was coming and didn't want the camera following her.
