Greg Minnaar helmetcam footage from Fort Bill

Ok....did a quick search so sorry if this has been posted here already, but being my fellow countrymen I had to

This is some really cool helmetcam footage taken by Minnaar at the Fort William course recently, I believe it was during practice for the British Champs....I think

Love how his voice sounds so calm and relaxed while making the running commentary

Awesome vid!

that was super entertaining, his commentary was great Virtual descent should have greg come aboard to do some filming / commentary for their site.. it made helmet cam footage a lot more fun.

wow - that is amazing footage!! gives quite a different perspective on WC DH... certainly doesn't look anywhere near easy from the helmet cam angle


cheers

Dear Lord. Watching those guys from outside shots is amazing, but watching Minaar hit that trail and talk his way through at, at that speed no less, is frickin' ridiculous.

He is too. Typical boy next door....no arrogance or anything. Just really friendly and approachable.

Funny that we're from SA but the one time I've met him was when I bumped into him in Whistler last year at Crankworx. Went up to him to say hi and he was nice enough to chat with me for a couple minutes asking about my trip etc.
