Vancouver Island mountain biker nearly freefalls down tree trunk bike ramp

Bear MountainBԪַs mountain bike course designer Jordie Lunn tests his limits

The scene opens with mountain bike expert Jordie Lunn halfway up a Douglas fir, chainsawing a limb to allow for a pulley system to haul up his bike to the landing platform he stands on. The ride down, on a homemade bike track of planks nailed to the trunk, is almost a freefall.

The groan on landing and the subsequent blood in his pants seemed to only increase the cheers of his friends as Lunn sticks the landing.
