    Here in Brazil we can ride on the “highways” or “Autoroutes”. I know in Europe it’s forbidden. The roads are good here as you see because they are kept by private companies.

    Thank you!
    We used “velcro” tapes passing them through the “vents”.

    There is something about this video that I just can’t help but like. Satriani as the background music makes for a perfect scene. Cool video man.

    You’re absolutely right!
    When I’m climbing a good hill I’m always think about the reward (the downhill)!

    you can only really enjoy downhills if you’ve earned them (by climbing up one to begin with)

    My fastest downhill with mountain bike was
    86.7 km/h in Slovenia from Rakitna. it`s about
    8 km long downhill. very fast road with good asphalt grip. i hope in the future i`ll go even faster with new slick tires.

    You’re right, thats not that fast. We did 67 kph at the end. I myself got 85 kph in another hill but no camera.

    We attached the camera using “velcro” tapes passing them through the “vents” (holes) of the helmet. Try it!You’ll love it!

    mate, thats not really that fast… i’ve managed to get up to 82kph (over 50mph) and that hill was no where near as long as that!
    hell, most competent road bikers can make 50kph on a flat.

    how did you attach the camera to your helmet though? i would love to do that!

    Wow, too cool. I’m super friggin jealous!

    Damn, that was fast. I’m not ready to bomb hills that fast yet… I can’t keep my hands off the brakes!
