I don't know if this has been posted before. Not sure if it's Mountain biking or Road biking or just insanity but it's thrilling!

Some of those jumps looked to be quite a bit less stable than the ones we made as kids.
The course also looked to be only about 3 inches wider than most handlebars. I'll bet plenty have clipped the sides of the buildings and been turned into obstacles for the next contestants.
(maybe the ramps are propped up on their lifeless bodies)
I hope there was some type of prize for that, like maybe a free house or something.

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't run him thru the pipe at about 1:30.
And that series of steps, I'm sure others had clipped the rail or the wall to the sides.
At about 2:30, he lets out a chuckle.
Great video.

There's another video of the same run with a different rider who is faster than this one.

This isn't the other one I was thinking of - no dog action - but this one has lots of good second person shots from on the course, close ups of some of the riders' rigs and a little something for the ladies towards the end.

Now I see how they set up some of the jumps.
They use the railing of the steps to make the ramp frames.
