I think one would have less chance of serious injury on that downhill run than in the Athens Twilight Crit.
Incredible bike handling.
I think I fractured my hip and femur just watching that……Possibly a dislocated shoulder too
My armpits and palms are drenched just watching…dude is fearless and makes crit racing look like kiddie skills.
Registration for this awesome mtb race closes in 11.5hrs! 50 miles of awesome Arkansas single track.

Well, he’s powered by gravity. Personally I would like to see him go the other way. Up that ridge intead. That would be real hard man cycling.
The world is full of braver/crazier people than me that’s for sure!
That’s the race. I wonder what the training rides are like…
that’s just a mountain bike thing, I ride for Skydive Dubai and let me tell you – its much scarier than that
How scary exactly?
Awesome. Knievel-esque bike games!
If Paco doesn’t motor pace behind one of the King’s Rolls Royces, then he ends up in jail!
All kidding aside, where do you train? It seems like heat would be a problem about now.
The UAE is so rich that over 50% of it is enclosed in an air conditioned sports bubble, they do not allow outsiders to witness this marvel. The heat, camel, sand thing is all for show. When we trick tourists into visiting and they all complain about the heat, we laugh. The joke is on all the honkies, its the UAE way of getting back at the West
Wow.
I crashed doing a wheelie yesterday.
I’ll pass.
