Given how much go-pro's flatten stuff, that is seriously steep at the bottom!!!!

Nice video! Being able to keep up his commentary while negotiating stupidly steep stuff is quite impressive.

I "rode" the Vallnord course a couple of years ago. It's stupid steep at the bottom, you need some speed to stay upright, but you instantly accelerate to warp speed as soon as you let off the brakes, so grab a handful of the rear to slow down a bit, fall over, repeat...

Even the start ramp is bloody steep 😆 , and the first jump that they just seem to float over? That's at least a two and half metre gap, you need to be motoring to get over it. Some of the big jumps in the open sections are just bloody mahoosive.

I had to have a quiet moment when I got to the bottom of it.

Always think the same - always find if my thoughts wander a bit while riding I'm pretty guaranteed to crash - but he can keep talking (in a second language) while riding full on World Cup tracks at a decent clip - he must be pretty relaxed even at that pace.

It's fine on the Premier Invite Forum. The blooper reel is great.

Look at his heart rate that they show in the most recent course previews. Wouldn't call that relaxed!
