    I've seen people asking how the downhill at baldy is...last week I got this older downhill dvd called "Union" from netflix and it had a scene shot at baldy....thought I'd post it to help answer some of the questions.....even some of the pro's seem to struggle with the loose terrain...

    Pro's?! who?

    That video was a great example of Thor Wixom gathering a bunch of fontana beginner's to help make his comedy reel.

    Baldy... skidding down shale.. yeah lots of fun. It's only good if you run big ass tires and lots of travel. Oh yeah and if you got shit style like Josh Bender. That place is a joke. Only good thing about that place is the stunts(log ride drop) at the bottom of the parking lot. Too steep to really have any fun. Sometimes you cant polish a turd like baldy.

    Between the two face plants, getting the bike in the face and doing the reverse leg/hip bounce, it wasn't that bad of a crash actually.
