I'll stick to piddling around the local skatepark yo or the racetrack dirt jumps. Maybe when I was 20 I woulda considered it, but man, Ive seen some crap on DH sites that makes me cry in my sleep

I haven't done it in awhile.... i had the ultimate thrill of jumping (falling) off an 18' cliff.

Ohio is too flat for true DH runs. My stomping ground was Whiteface mountain in NY. You know, where they held the Winter Olympics in 81 or something like that. Scary stuff. It was awesome.

I would do it, but as others have said, link the boots across...and wear a nut cup...

i think i would give it a shot, but im not brave enough to stand behind a 993TT going 187 mph!!

I would do that while juggling chainsaws, naked... except mime makeup

I would do it, but copious amounts of bourbon would be involved before I was courageous enough

Ten years ago I would have said 'Right dammit NOW! Let's GO!' Now I would say, 'lemme make sure these boots are on the tracks good first and gimmie some plastic armor for the splinters 'cause i just KNOW my corpulent out of shape azz is going to drag SOMETHING along the tracks.' Oh, and first a helluva lot of Dutch courage. But I believe I'd do it.

Bet it would be FUN, too.

Why isn't he wearing a full face helmet? I'd do it in nut-hugger shorts, as seen in the 80s autocross thread, with a full face helmet before I did it in full leathers and a Pro-tec.
