holy crap that was scary to watch

As mentioned in the comments on YouTube itself, he seems to be riding with the clutch pulled and the front wheel isn't turning. Does anyone else think it's a fake?

Given he rides the same bike with the same helmet cam in several other videos on youtube, I think it is genuine.

I think the front wheel appearing not to move is just a function of the helmet camera. Impressive riding!

Mmmn, judging by the depth of the rut , he wasn't the first one up there .
Still good fun though .

The first time someone showed me that I was fairly impressed, but thought the image seemed a bit fish-eyed throughout making the height of of the ridge seem greater than it would have. Looking again I'd say that's definately fake. Look at the helmet, the shadows aren't right, and his head seems perfectly stable, and doesn't move hardly at all when he's going up/down hill for him to see where he's going.

Not saying that people don't actually get out and do that kind of riding though.

//edit:
Looking at it a third time, the bike/rider looks exactly like from a video game. Am in no doubt

i do the same ride down to the shops

its a go pro advert on you tube i don't think its a fake maybe some nice movie editing in there but not much i have a go pro and put on my helmet and its very steady on rides and on video playback you do get that rounding a little bit does anyone know where he is
