The fastest 8 minutes you will spend on line

No need for me to say much here. I stumbled onto this video today, and I was impressed.

These guys are fast, and they have skills needed for passing people at break-neck speed on downhill single track.

Personally, the only way I could be more impressed is to see someone ride back up!

Not singlespeed friendly

I'd like to see some stats on that ride: Vertical feet descended, average and maximum speed. I lost count of how many people they passed.

I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think that particular trail is exactly what you'd call singlespeed friendly.

IDK

I think I would really like to take my single speed down it!

You might say it is friendly in one direction only.

As a roadie/triathlete with very little MTB skills, I'd be the guy on the side with a picnic basket.

That was an impressive display. Thanks for it!

Sweet

I watched this video on MTBR last week sometime... These dudes haul, I'd love to have a go at this trail. Of course I'd ride it fully ridgid on a SS, and probably beat these dudes... Well everyone can dream at least.

I hear that

I would be riding rigid and single for sure, but there is no way I would be faster than those freaks.
