No thanks I'll pass. Did you watch the down hill bike race in Chile? Now that was insane.

Yea that crossed my mind. They better have checks on that track early and often.

They probably hired a herd of SHREWS and put 'em in the front to sweep the rail.

How do you think they got that video? That WAS the check run.

I would defiantly do that, I already have my GoPro Hero2 helmet cam, but how does it stay level on the track?

It would be cool if it used water to slow it down like on a rocket sled.

Or a big yak or whatever is in that part of the world is standing on the track with southern end facing you.

Oh I can come up with some wonderful "what if's" for that ride.
What if a deer decides to graze right beside, or reaches over the rail to do so?
What if some idiot on the bridge desides to whiz while you are coming down?
What if some bear decides you are meals on wheels?

I think the possibilities of a catastrophy on that setup are endless. Would be a neat ride if you could eliminate the "what if's."
