That's very cool!
Those gap jumps scare the bejeezuz out of me. The rest of the course might be pretty fun.
Kinda cool, but not that gnarly. I've done courses that were more intense and rugged. However, I've never had a dog on the course or had to worry about clipping a wall with my handlebar and usually have a section of uphill somewhere. This was 100% urban downhill. I'll bet the times were all really close.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Some of those jump were INSANE!!! I'm too old to live *that* dangerously. But, that must be one helluva rush.

I've managed some fairly serious descents in races and playing in the Rockies, but we're talking XC bikes with just 100mm travel fork and either hard tail or just a little suspension in the back, not full kamikaze DH rigs. I'd shatter like glass smacking one of those streets!
I like that in the first few frames you can see that the rider is rocking a blue pinstriped suit, now that's racing in style.
The liver is bad, it must be punished.

I saw that, too. I've seen racers dressed in all kinds of wild costumes, from tu-tu's to Shrek.
At our local trail's time trial several years ago, a teammate had on a Mexican wrestler costume including the cape and mask. He also set the course record!
(If you think these people are wierd, they can't come close to the cyclocross racers, which photos are not always fit to show here)
