A better way to go downhill?
If you think a mountain bike is the best way down a big hill check out this coaster - no brakes.

Wow, until i saw the next video i was under the impression there where no brakes, i was wondering what would happen if you catch up to the rider in front or a tree falls on the track etc.

So they do have a brake, but the guy in the previous vid was doing a full run without brakes, great idea, but i think a bit more than one lapband seatbelt is in order for those speeds, maybe a backrest with a normal style seatbelt?
Better than downhill on a bike, nah, no style, no line choice, no skill involved
Looks like a bunch of fun though, thanks for posting, watched the other vids on that site also!
AHHHHH. Why couldn't you of posted this a few weeks ago! i was literally 15min from this place! Looks like a lot of fun thou. With all the rain at the moment it probably is more fun then mtb'ing
Cheers
So do you have to lean in on the turns yourself, or does the track tip you in?
I believe it leans for you.
This looked alot faster with no brakes
