If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I for one am disappointed that he didn't ride the railing in the one section of the course.  Weak.  ;)

I'm most impressed by whatever camera/image stabilization they were using on that helmet cam.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'm guessing it is a GoPro. Must be a good mount or postproduction editing.

Very nice work. There were some spots that had a very narrow margin.

Honestly, memorizing that course had to be interesting.

One of 'em should have done the course while wearing a red hoodie, with a milk crate hanging off his handlebars.

Eeek.  No need for motive power and all that extra weight and suspension.

I'm way past my invincible days of doing 8 foot drops and 20 degree downhills on my mountain bike, but there's no way I'd do the terrain there with something with rear suspension.  I'd even be leery of front suspension... it'd have to be set up perfect.  Too much brake before one of those downhill hard 90 degree corners on stairs and suddenly you need an air squirrel suit.

Rear suspension makes the launch on some of those controlled speed jumps a bit more dicey, too.
