I hope redbull gives you wings. Sure tastes like piss so I hope it gives you something useful.

Nice, mountain bike vids.
That sh!t scares the sh!t out of me!
Give me nice twisty single track any time.
Recently started night riding again, (after 20 years) adds a whole new perspective to trails you've ridden dozens of times.
But 80' 360's... leave that to the young guys.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)

Same here! Hiking on a trail like that is hairy never mind flying down on 2 wheels. Crazy!

Yeah night riding brings a whole new dimension to the trails.

What light do you use for night riding? I recently bought a Magicshine and it is pretty nice. I am with you guys on the nice flowing singletrack but I thought this was pretty crazy and worth a watch.

I've got a Magicshine on my bars and a Sigma powerled on my lid.
Magicshine is a pretty amazing little light for the price.
But being a cheap light I thought I'd better buy the Sigma for a back up when it fails.
So far no issues after 10 months. 8)

The videos are really something! But I'm with sammer, no 360's for me :)
I will mount a camera on my helmet and record some me doing "citybiking"! Can be as scary! :)

I bought my light a number of years ago. It's a Marw/USA Nightpro. Light mounts on the handle bars and the battery goes in the water bottle cage. It's ok. Battery life is only 2 hours and I've gotten stuck when the battery has draned. We have a local group that rides on wednesdays, road bikes in the spring, summer, early fall. Then when the light sarts to disappear we night ride till it gets too cold.

I should get a new light or at least a backup battery. I bought a new MTB this spring, Jamis Durango 29 hard tail, front suspension. Has 29 inch wheels, makes for a nice ride. Have yet to night ride this year.

The videos are insane!
