Funny, but this is the perfect example of a downhill mountain bike race gone bad. What was supposed to be a downhill race with a time of about three minutes turned into a Nascar looking event with riders sliding, flipping, and crashing into each other. Finish times went from three to five times the norm for that course. No amount of downhill, freeride, or trail work seems to prepare for this. None gave up, the result being the ultimate display of riding(?) skills.
A video short of the Corral Hollow Downhill Race at the Carnegie off road park in Livermore, Ca. 2006. Helmet Cam is a Viosport Adventure Cam 3- rider is John Michael Breazeal. The boom shots were also Adventure Cam 3- very light and easy to follow the riders at high speeds and turns. Just a fun shoot and edit with biker boy.
