I can't say its crazier then MMA cuze i never fought of my life but i know DH bike is f..kin crazy. The faster you go the more you are concentrate and your reflexe are at the max. Tracks are about 5 minute. During 5 minute, what is happenning in my head is crazy.

When i ride, i watch at about 3-4 meters in front of me (i never check my wheel). So basicly I always have 3-4 meters of track saved in my brain. Has i see the rocks,trees or drops, i react and move my body and biek to the best way to get that part of the track while i keep looking whats next. When i finish a track, I'm spaced. I was so focused and "high" that went i sit on the chairlift, the only thign i'm able to say for the next moment is: Damn that was sick.

This website is a biek website, if you wanna see great pictures, hit the picture tab on to, enjoy
