Gee Atherton Tests INSANE MTB Trail
Back in my riding days, I rode trails like this, but without the big jumps, on my road racing 14 speed bike with thin knobbies. No suspension and the wrong style handlebars change EVERYTHING! I'm still impressed my front forks never broke, and that I never went over a cliff. I usually went over the front of the bike at least once per ride, though.
Ahhhh, youth. It's wasted on the young.
Mountain biking with no chain
Where do you stop? Tyre goes flat half way down, re-run. Front fork breaks, re-run. Brake breaks, re-run.
Same with most race type disciplines (eg. rally cars), equipment failure is just part of the sport and everyone has to deal with it.
I know, but why, in this sport, is it important that everyone only gets the one run? No do-over in the case of a mechanical failure right out the gate? There's no NEED to accept the bad luck... it's neat he won tho.
