That's what you call playing the odds which is marginal at best since its calculated risk taking..

Chris; hey - reminds me of my daily commute to work.

Well, ok, the bike path is smoother, and the abandoned railway (CN Beachburg sub) is actually on an embankment, and I don't wear a helmet as cool as that.

Hmmm. Maybe not exactly the same as my commute.

;-)

Yup... These guys are professionals and do lots for mountain bike companies out west. I am sure they did tons of dry runs.

I'm not sure if they are brave or nuts! Some of the things those guys do on those bikes is amazing, I will say that, but on the other hand I have a hard time feeling sorry for them when things go bad. Over a moving train? Really?

Sure enough but,as every stunt professional knows sooner or later freckled headed fate will demand payment for your past successful stunts.
