    If we're talking fast downhill though you've got to talk about Sam Hill

    Blimey, never seen anything quite like that. Commentary is worthy of BBC Sports Personality nomination. Brilliant.

    Never really seen much mountain biking but that was awesome.

    The best bit of the video was the very last line: "How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big!?"

    Rob Warner is a complete legend... saw him and Steve Peat do "an evening with" at ShAFF (Sheffield Adventure Film Festival) and I don't think I've ever laughed so much..

    Old video that's done the rounds but worth a re-watch
