Cwmcarn DH Vid

The Northern Monkey

Been going through my vids and I think this is one of my quickest trips down the full CC Red.

Not bad considering it was my 3rd Uplift, been checking vids on youtube etc and the guys on their big DH rigs are around the 4:30 mark ish so I'm pretty happy.

And this is my quickest run on the red, but going down the middle rooty option at the top. I prefer this top line as its a bit more technical, if you hit it right you can carry so much more speed into the top section.

Lets see if new forks and wheels can get me nearer to 4 mins
Need to work on those switchbacks I reckon.

Awesome!

What is the bit at 3:22 like to ride? Looks frightening.

The Northern Monkey

Tis fine! Thats the chicken line lol... the drop (to the left) was closed for maintenance!
Seem to have lost the full run with the drop

Ben, are you using the 3M sticky mount or the goggle strap mount?

Goggle mount... no flat bits on my helmet to use the sticky mount

Good stuff, I used my sticky on my piss pot for XC stuff, only got the goggle mount left but wasn't sure how stable or secure it might be.
