Post by: zarn02 on March 07, 2011, 11:25:44 PM
VCA 2010 RACE RUN (http://vimeo.com/9970489)

Looks like fun.

Hopefully not a derby.

I want to see the "highlight" films from that race..running over Chiauhauhas in the middle of the "track", riders being impaled on the sticks along the route, cutting a jump short over those cardboard ramps, etc!!  [thumbsup]

Urban track racing would be a hit in Detroit!!   Wait..was that Detroit?! [cheeky]


BTW..anyone else have a headache after watching that?  Does look like fun though!

I can do most of that urban down hill except for the gap jumps.  Would love to try.

The POV makes the gaps look freaky large. There is another video showing that they're not quite that large. I still wouldn't try it though.

As my wife would say "that's dangerous, why would anyone want to do that?" Then I say "Duh, it's dangerous but God damn it looks like FUN!!" Right about then I get the  [roll] look. [laugh] Yep, every time. She just doesn't get it. [bang] [laugh]

Same here. I might even be able to do some of those gap jumps...If I were about 15 years younger.
That part with the long stairs might be a little tough though.
