Downhill

'Tis true that while we do indeed live in a country with mountains, they're not always close at hand, hence the woods, the park and the centres. But people do ride the mountains, and occasionally they film their efforts too leading to some excellent sense of speed and scale and personally speaking of the most exciting especially some of the helmet cameras.

Trouble being that a search of youtube (other video sites available) leads to much freestyle, loads of people falling down slopes on wobbly boards, and the occasional boarder-x, but not much big mountain, and then the footage that is available is either bumpy, grainy or just generally unwatchable.

Fortunately some people do like to film this sort of thing, so I've done the hard work below and provided a few links. (I'd inbed videos but that's beyond me to be honest).

Master of the Hill, (2008 footage?)

Evil C's Courchevel 2008 footage hmm, doesn't seem to be working right now...

Pete Tathams (nosno) 'Morzine The Movie'

Or check out Phil Milovanovs sections in either of the Russian Videos Hard Times, or Still Friends.
