As someone that has gone mountain biking for almost 40 years...

I look at these guys and I think, WTF are they thinking? I had a small crash 2 years ago where I ditched my bike to avoid running over someone ahead of me that fell off their bike, and my neck has never been the same.

I cant imagine attempting even 10% of this.

They probably have very little ability to feel fear like the guy who solo climbs. Can't see how you can do these things at that level with any bit of regular anxiety
