How would you?
How'd ya'll like to start a race with a drop like this? I get nervous just picturing my self going down it and the drop on the right looks sick. I wish I could have been there, it would have been great.

DBD. That is one awesome pic. I'm thinking though, that taking the racing thing you do into account, and the previous pics you've posted, that you'd secretly like to do this one Sunday morning, 6am, when noone is looking...

DBD. I just played the QT movie of it. Those take-offs are absolutely amazing. Some of those guys look as if they don't even have body armour. I'd love to have been there. As for the poor sod who fell, I'm amazed he got back up again. Wonder what is bike looked like?

I only went there once in April 1988. The traffic frightened me sh1tless and I was a pedestrian! The risks are the same, only the terrain is different.

I wouldn't do it. We had a tourny here that was pretty extreme and messes some guys up but nothing really compares to the red bull comp.
