Best downhill slope photo capture I've seen

[hiero2]

This photo (I'm linking to respect the copyright and all that) captures that stomach-in-the-throat tension of REALLY going downhill, better than any photo I've ever seen, I think.

Slopes are always such a hard thing to show in a pic.

That is nearly my back yard. I live a stones throw from there. and It's just a few blocks from Crank Bros downtown laguna beach
shuttle that quite a bit.

The angle is slightly deceptive but its steep nevertheless

Nice pic indeed

Wow - cool. I was working up in the central coast for a few years - but we could never afford a house out there.

Back to the pic - it makes that drop look vertical! I'm sure it isn't quite that bad, but still! I don't think you will find me using this particular route!

It's bad but you really dont enter it with a lot of speed. its for the skilled rider. Most people crashing are off their bike well before the corner by design of default. perhaps this is where I perfected the dismount for cyclocross

It shocked me deeply
