thebob Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 First I have ever heard of the Descent Disciples or this Safa Brain guy. Mental stuff, but very impressive [YouTube] [/YouTube]
Mountain Bru Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 UCI are gonna ban this video after 1 April....Seen a few of their videos.... Absolutely mental stuff. I get the feeling that certain "herbs" are legal wherever these dudes live
Schmorglebot Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Descending like that is an art form and a beautiful thing to watch!
thebob Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 It is amazing how he pins it like that. I will admit I was scared for him watching the video
Mountain Bru Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 It is amazing how he pins it like that. I will admit I was scared for him watching the video I think this one is better/worse... not sure if it's just the camera lens, but I didn't know it was possible to lean a bike like that
FirstV8 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 That is insane , their bike handling skills are beyond perfect .
LongDonkey Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Do they actually touch brakes??? Skills i will never (nor do i think i want) have
Frosty Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Knowledge of a descent will always make a good descender better than one who doesn’t know it well.
Mountain Bru Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Knowledge of a descent will always make a good descender better than one who doesn’t know it well. Definitely, but I could ride that descent 1000 times and never have the cahones to do what these guys do
Jewbacca Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I couldn't watch... After a less than fantastic fall descending Chappies last year I have the yips.... this was too much like watching someone about to die for me
Shebeen Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 UCI are gonna ban this video after 1 April.... Seen a few of their videos.... Absolutely mental stuff. I get the feeling that certain "herbs" are legal wherever these dudes livei'm surprised a big brand like Scott backed this.yeah it's cool, skillful, dangerous etc etc. but it's also illegal for very logical reasons. and just an accident waiting to happen. Only then will the finger pointing start. I've had okes on their luge boards over take my car going down franschhoek pass. to go those speeds you need the full apex of corners, so both sides of the roads. you're not in control of what happens with cars coming up. So while i think this is pretty awesome, it's not good for cycling. I'd say the same thing for anyone skating down kloof nek

But had similar thoughts on those clips where he uses the full width .... later in the video he certainly stays more in his lane ... I remember one of those ludge guys running wide, ending under a truck ... I felt sorry for that truck driver.
