Someone that was on staff here was into something like this, but it was downhill in the mountains with no path. There was logs, rocks, dropoffs, trees, and all that at about 60 MPH downhill. I found out about it when he explained the reason some bikes have shocks on them is to avoid cracking the frames.

What I saw looked kinda like that, but it was more in the woods and no real path, just a case of get to point B from point A as fast as possible. I wish I could remember the name of it now.

That video shows some crazy things though, I'd hate to know how many times you would bust your face just practicing some of those moves.

No, but I'm having trouble remembering the name. Not a good day for me to remember things from several years ago. lol

Edit: Now I remember, it was Zilla.
