Extreme mountain biking captured by drone video
"Dive into the hardest mountain bike race through the eyes of an intense FPV drone shot. The @dutchdronegods followed Kade Edwards down the Red Bull Hardline downhill mountain bike race track, a tough trail that twists down the steep slopes of the Dyfi valley in Wales. It's known as the most difficult mountain bike race course in the world, and just getting down it on two wheels is hard, but to capture it in a single shot drone flight presents a different kind of challenge."
I've done many thousands of miles in the mountains north and south of San Francisco and in the Lake Tahoe area and this was great to watch! I've never been big on jumps like that (they lead to more broken bones than just the mountain biking itself can cause) but that course is awesome. I have to give it to the drone pilot too - excellent job of a difficult task.
I get queasy watching the video, but I guess they know what's coming.
