That guy can ride. I'm a little more impressed with his camera man's skills. That camera man has a bag of tricks. steady cam, drone, tripod. Hard to tell everything that was used. Flying the drone down the trail in the woods while keeping the bike in the shot takes some skill.

I suspect the drone is independent flying within parameters and they have a tracker on the rider. Pretty slick work though.

I was multitasking. I was spotting ash trees to cut while riding downhill through a rock garden. It was dumb. I washed out my front wheel and really bashed my forearm and ribs. Benny was unconcerned though, he was busy treeing a coon.

I like the fist bump at 0:35.

And I'm not seeing a lot of protection there, except for the skull, which is smrt.

Cool vid, do you ride like that Griff?

Not hardly! I can clean some tricky XC climbs and reasonable Enduro routes but I usually have my self-preservation program running. I don't have the skills for trials type riding or extreme downhill.

EWS Madeira Stage 6. The lens doesn't due justice to the steepness of the course but check ot the work from about 4 minutes on. Keep in might that Yoann flying as he is was still 9 seconds off the leader on this stage. These guys are crazy fast.
