Jumping with a cruiser!!!! way to go!!!!!!

How to become a world class downhill rider? how to get the knowledge and experience... well there is maybe a clue at 6min34sec ;) i know it's off subject, this video is so serious but you can't stop downhill rider having fun;)

well as a French rider living in Austria, i can tell you it is the same in France and Austria! In France, you are not allowed to ride on single trails smaller than 1,2 meter if i'm correct. ( some friends of mine have been chased by Forest police on horses). In Austria, Salzburg Land and Vorhalberg have closed to bike nearly all the good single trails. Not to avoid destruction of the trail, forest or mountain... (as they would say). They don't want bikes "messing up" with pedestrians and because in Austria, every forest is Private and are most of the time Hunting places, You have no choice but to respect this or they'll shoot ;) Dialogue, understanding and evolution in mind's people will change this problem. Well i hope so...

and on flat Pedals!! he was the only one at this time, i do remember everybody including myself were riding DH competitions with clip pedals.

maybe some guy called Travis Pastranna is also good at some stuff, just what i heard somewhere ;)
