Over the Top
« on: January 22, 2012, 05:17:25 PM »
Takes guts to ride a motocross bike. Tuned practically to the point of blowing themselves to bits, every pound stripped away so that only the bare necessities are left and sitting on top of a foot-plus of suspension travel, it takes a deft hand to tame these machines.

It's one thing to strap on your gear and head out to the relatively safe confines of an off-road track. It's something completely else to ride a single track trail at the top of a mountain ridge-line.

Judging from the perspective of the rider, which is where the camera has been thoughtfully mounted, a single mistake could send this daredevil plummeting to the ground, where serious injury or even death seem inevitable. And yet there seems to be no tension whatsoever from the rider. I've got to say, quite impressive.

Its all about the machine. There are some big brass nuts on the bracket holding the handlebar.
