Downhilling in SD

So, here is a little video I put together from a day at some possibly illegal jumps and trails in San Diego. I say possibly illegal because no one really knows. I choose to err on the side of having fun, so I will continue to ride there until otherwise notified by the authorities.

Video is filmed on a Contour 1080i HD helmet cam. I had the camera mounted on my goggles for expediency sake (I got the camera 2 hours before the session) , but it will be more solid next time. Most of the video is filmed by me, with the exception of about 2:20 in, where my friend Brian is following me. Brian is really fast, and was on a hard tail bike, meaning he was having to come up short on many of the jumps because he was following slow-ass Scott. Coming up short on a gap jump on a hard tail hurts. That is why he has to stop part way through the run....Oh, well.

The first drop doesn't look it, but it is about 10 feet from the take off down to the landing. It's a little hairy the first few times.  In fact, some of you may remember how beat up I was for a few weeks after the 4th of July.  That pain and suffering was inflicted by this drop when I braked late and basically free fell onto my front wheel and my body pile drove my head and shoulder into the ground.
