From the first clip riding across the top of a fence to the last jump, this is an amazing video of street trails riding:
Amazing and inspiring, but now I suspect that riding the Airdyne tonight just won't be the same. A great 5:38 diversion regardless. Enjoy.

"Merci" or "Mercy"?
If you've got 8 minutes of your life that you're not doing anything with, check out the downhill run these two mountain bikers make in the French Alps.
Its not as much of a roller coaster effect as you might expect, but look at the drop off in the switch backs, just waiting for a rider to enter with too much speed. Also, don't miss the thin rope on the right side of the trail on some of the really steep slopes.
I couldn't tell though, as they passed slower riders (especially the last time - while in the air) if they were saying the French word for "thanks" or asking God for mercy on their descent. You decide.
It is an amazing run to watch. Definitely for a much higher caliber rider than I ever was. The local single track along the Catawba is more than enough for me.
