Good video. I have been trying to get back into riding shape since I have been down here. I am so lucky to be so close to such great mountains and trails, I need to take advantage of it. Unfortunately it has rained almost every day for the last month (and I broke a toe) that has kept me from riding or trail running. I am motivated to get back to where I can ride hard and have fun. This area is great!

Yeah, you live in an awesome area now. You need to go ride at my buddy brad's house, he's in winston - salem and has AWESOME dirt jumps and pumptrack in his backyard, and knows all the good XC and DH spots in the area.
Neat video, but i would rather have a dirtbike...because one they are more fun, two they cost the same as those peddle bikes, three they are more useful as in I don't have to drive but an hour away from my house to use it, four chicks dig a dirtbike a hell of a lot more than a peddle bike, five a dirtbike needs no explanation to express its badassness it speaks for itself and the downhill peddle bikes require vast amounts of explanation to their badassness to layman, six did I say I only need to drive an hour away?
I also agree a dirtbike would be hard pressed to be as fast as the peddle bikes going down the peddle bike trail, in fact I'd say it would be impossible, however on a trail that can be run on a dirtbike, there is no way in hell a peddle bike would even be close.

For sure, there is no way those pads are going to protect the rider at those speeds, if they hit one of those tress going as fast as they go, I'd bet they would split in two
That just looks like pain waiting to happen. I'm amazed at how those guys can whip a bicycle around turns and stuff just like you would on a dirtbike. Awesome skills for sure.
That's pretty sweet. I am amazed at the progression in the past 10 years! The freeride guys do same crazy stuff!! Blows my mind that they even have the balls to try it! Like at the rampage every year...
Rampage dudes are on a whole different level. I don't mind going fast over bumps, but I can't figure out why anyone would want to hurl themselves that far through the air.
Ok, maybe I get it a little bit.
My kid says he wants to be a redbull rampager, lucky for me he's afraid of the super steep hills still, and I'm hoping it stays that way for a while.
