This looks really fun. You don't need to have any really big hills to have it on. You just need skills.

This kind of reminds me of a BMX movie I saw when I was a kid called Rad Racing. The final race was a big loop with lots of manmade technical obsticals, at least I remember something like that.

This looks like an entertaining diversion but I think I would get burned out watching it after a few runs.

I think this event is pretty cool. What type of bike racing do you think would be less boring to watch?


The movie is called Rad btw.

We had a race like that in Asheville a few years back. It involved some old cars,skinnies,teeters,box truck wall ride,doubles,and some other stuff. It was a lot of fun. I'll see if I can find some pics.

It's funny because his explanation sounded really similar to how one explains the design of an autocross course.
