No gloves? Riding through a stop sign? :lol: You're a madman! How many runs did you do through there?

That's the great thing about Wellywood - plenty of downhill madness for those who need their adrenaline fix before brekkie! :woohoo:

Now, where's the skateboard/inline skates vid?

Hehe i didnt know better back then.
Ive done all the hills in lower hutt including waniuiamata at least a couple times each, used to do it with a mate!
We actually made a map and put what are top speeds were going down there, i got 74kmh down kelson remember these are mountain bikes with tho.
My favourate hill has to be KoroKoro to go down via pushbike, nice long wide corners no braking needed :)!.
However i did once go wide and had to jump on to the footpath at 50+ kmh once that was scary.
Good old fun :)!, the hard part was getting up there. :rockon:

Sweet looks like fun. I hada good spill coming down mt vic like that just wearing shorts a few years ago. Had the bike cranked right over at 50+ coming round a corner and there was a bus coming up the hill in my lane. Instinctively tapped the brakes and it was all over, lowsided into the side of the bus! Real glad I had gloves on though, they got worn all the way thru but my fingers were intact. Looked like a bit of a burns victim with the amount of skin I lost off my leg and arm from sliding along the road at that speed though!

Its cycling that that which annoys me a bit, well done though.

One minor observation if I may? Why put the camera between your legs??? It was kinda creepy

Now THAT was cool. Cranking it on a bit on a couple of those corners and one, maybe two, very nicely done flip-flops :)
