Repack: the video

[Repack Rider]

FairfaxPat fnally posted his video of Joe Breeze's ride down Repack on YouTube. Quality is poor because of the compression; it looks better on the original.

I guess you can't embed links here, so here's the url:

I'm featured in another video on YouTube, "Riding Rpepack with Charlie Kelly."

Excellent stuff, Joe can really fly. The seat adjustment at the end made me laugh.

The camera angle does not give the proper impression of the steepness of this hill. Average grade is 14%.

 

[orange71]

you do get the impression of speed though which is great.

Reminds me a little of going down Skiddaw in the Lake District - 3000ft descent over 4 miles. Only parts of it are as fast as that though.

Excellent Video. CK you are officially "traffic"!

Agreed Ed, that's my kind of rigid downhill!

Thats is cool, would love to do it one day

Glad you guys liked it-if you want a higher def. copy, just PM me and I can send you one for the cost of postage and the five bucks my friend charges me to make copies. I plan to make more Mtn. bike videos of riding some of Marin's best trails and downhills in 2009-will keep you all posted! Happy Holidays, Pat

Nice one Pat, I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for that, I enjoyed it! It's nice to see what the Repack actually looks like and it's probably a lot more technical than can be seen from the video, lots of water gulleys etc. along and across the track, loose stones etc. Excellent riding by Joe.
