No thanks, I think I'll pass on that one.
I'd like to have heard the conversations in the cars/motorcycles that passed going the other direction.
"Henry, did you see that guy on his belly flying down the pass going the other way?"
"Yep, durned fool, he was."
(or something like that)Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

That was VERY cool. I must admit, I was glad it wasn't my son doing something that crazy.

So what happened when he overtook that car??

I see these kids out on Glendora Mountain Road. They usually go down 5-7 at a time, with a follow vehicle. I actually wish they'd start higher up than the 3 miles that they do, because the guy in the follow van sweeps the rocks off of the turns with a push broom!

It's very cool to watch them, but I'm glad that I'm not their mama.

Wow, that's amazing!
He certainly crossed into the other lane too much for my tastes because I can't imagine that his visiblity is all that good being so close to the ground.
Where was that shot? I'd like to bike that road.
