    Must have been CGI. Impossible without at least 180mm and body armour.

    LOL, nothing that extreme there I though.

    He's clearly a decent fast rider though.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    That's insane. What I want to know is how people manage to just lift the front wheels up so easily. Damn I wish I had some skill :)

    I used to be able to keep up with him!
    He lives at the bottom of Triscombe downhill trails. When you have trails like that literally a couple minutes ride from your front door, you're going to get very good. His brother is quicker but not quite as nuts.
    Those trails really are good, properly nasty, natural style, locals built trails. One of my favourite places to ride. Some of the UKs best natural xc riding is there as well.
