Top effort to back up a first last year with a second this year. Unbelievable what they can get bikes through

I love the "sit down with the handlebars in your lap and scoot" method...

Chris Birch rode down one like that

Hence the "blood on the inside of the goggles" comment

What a race, 1 for the Hardman types & any 1 who finishes deserves a gold medal.
Didn't see to many Jap brands up front, that's right they stopped making 2 strokes exp yamaha.

**Padmei** · 22nd July 2011, 16:16

Its a hard race alright.
Gotta say the video coverage on the official website could have been a lot better - they seemed to have cameras in a lot of good places. i'll run thru the other vids Nordie posted up to catch the rest of the action.

In the beginning..

You'll probably find the coverage is just a taster as they always bring out a DVD with a more through race package.

**NordieBoy** · 22nd July 2011, 17:00

Got most of them on a playlist...

Remember the fat guy on the "Erzberg Training" vid with the button up shirt and open face helmet?
He got 10th overall at Romaniacs last year

Yeah I thought about that after I posted. Bloody inspiring stuff... to do something really silly & potentially cause permanent injuries

The school teacher looking dude? Can't judge a book by their cover i guess.

Those Birchy vids were awesome. That long vid of the insane downhill slide shows how video can distort the gradient of some of those slopes.
