Man, that's just CRAZY. I can barely IMAGINE going down those sort of steps at that speed! And so damn tight too!

That sounds like Greg Minaar doing the commentary as he rides. I have NO idea how he manages to do the commentary and keep it interesting while he flies down those stairs - especially comments like "big drop off to the side - don't want to go off there!" Shocked As soon as I had that thought that's where I'd be. Sad

I remember thinking "that lad's not too bright" when I first saw him on the skills DVD "Fundamentals". Looks like he's going to have the last laugh on me - excellent effort. Smiling

You've got your accents all mixed up Hawkeye. He's a Pom, in fact it's the 2008 DH World Champion, Gee Atherton (with his brother, Dan following him).
