How NOT to do the Widowmaker (Hoogekraal, Cape Epic Prologue)

I have done a dismount like that at that point .... I recall everything going into slow motion and while tucking and rolling I saw the bike cartwheeling down the trail and being very fascinated by how far and many times the bike managed to cartwheel.

There's about 200 grams in it these days right. Whats more its not even rotational weight. The mind boggles.

They have dropper bikes

 

Edit: Dropper posts is not a band-aid for lack of skills

The same could be said about rear suspension, front suspension, 22 different gear possibilities etc. This is an old argument.

You do realise you're saying this a machine that rides a steel rigid single speed..?
