This is one take your breath away wild ride. Not sure if it's the go pro camera adding to the intensity of the video but man you really feel like your hanging on for dear life.
We did some really fun mountain biking back in the day and loved a good down hill but this rider is incredibly talented.

Enjoy the ride and share one if you want 😁

 
I love these videos. Of course, the kids are getting crazier every year as they compete for views. I rode my bike down a toboggan run when I was a kid and thought that was a daring feat.
 
We were watching some of the red bull down hill races while getting pizza at Fatty's in Breckenridge 2 weeks ago. made me pucker.
I know what you mean. We actually had to take a couple of breaks while watching the video in my original post it was so intense. There is a shorter video of rides like this one. Sort of a greatest hits. Wife couldn't take it anymore to stressful to watch for her. Not sure if I should add it to this thread..
 
Wow! It is amazing to think that any human being is capable of maintaining control during that run. Let alone dozens!
 
Ok now that you've hopefully caught your breath here is a shorter best of rides from the same rider. Pretty sure the GoPro is making the trails look a little narrowed but still some amazing hair razing trails. It's pretty fast going. I found it a little more enjoyable by clicking on the little gear looking thing for settings on the video and adjusting the play speed to about 75% and slowing it down just a little.

 
I know someone paralyzed from the neck down after a mountain biking accident so I can't even watch.
 
Thanks for posting OP.
What a fantastic display of athleticism, competitiveness, and sheer technical prowess. Once I started I could not stop watching.

I don't know of such an injury and I can't watch. I hope the guy wears a parachute when he does this.
 
WOW WOW WOW...

I know they're professionals, but it really is just dumb luck that they don't hit loose rock, rut or root on the trail and crash.

I don't buy 45 minutes of continuous dumb luck. They have cultivated massive skills. It is truly incredible what it takes to compete.
 
People with massive skills still F up once in a while... He's never looking down always 20 feet ahead. But that loose rock among a cluster he HAD seen could hurt ya...

It really was amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Just when you thought you'd seen it all. Watch this super kid only 10 years old kick some butt on the trails.. 😲
Amazing....I would have died about 50 times on those trails.
