well that's just a heck of a thing! I kept thinking it was going to end badly for the payoff.

Great clip! Very intense the whole way through. I especially liked the dog that wandered on to the course at @ the 0.35 sec mark, and what appeared to me to be the guy laughing to himself after going throught the 2 big jumps starting at @ 2.25.

For a real good time, click on the little HD in the original video, and follow that to Vimeo to see a larger version.

I thought the whistles were a good idea, especially in the short twisty sections.

And now for something completely different, but in a weird way similar. Don't press play if you have to pee. Go take care of business then come back...VIDEO

Curacao, Venezuela, best I can tell. I had to know, too! There are more hazards along that course than can be counted, and that's not counting the course lay-out itself. steel handrails, concrete pipe....geez....
