Favorite Trails: the ones that go down, duh!
went up to Fon-toilet today with Jerome and took some video of our practice runs. I was initially planning on racing tomorrow, but decided against it....since it cost $38 to race nowadays :shock: , I didnt really see the need in me driving 2 hours and paying someone to 'officially' tell me how f'ckin slow I am...

in case anyone is curious what the infamous 'Fontana Downhill Race Course' is like, here you go, see for yourself.....its pretty gay.
keep in mind this vid is the Beginner/Sport course (they split it into two groups now, Beg/Sport and Expert/Pro).
I did ride the Expert/Pro course a few times (BY MISTAKE the first time) and at first was surprised how 'tame' it seemed....however, on my 2nd run down it, i quickly realized that things can get hairy pretty fast once you add in 'race speed'.

Beg/Sport course



Expert/Pro course

Cool vid. :thumbsup: I like the perspective looking off the rear of the bike. It seems like it shows the contours a little better.
