The best shuttle vehicle ever / DH in Chile / Corsair

Hey all -

My friend Liana, owner of Defiant Sports Management, spent 2 weeks in Chile at the Valparaiso race and then rode some great DH with her athlete, Darcy Turrene, as well as a few other characters.

Her pics:

The best shuttle vehicle, ever:

Nice, but can you train it to meet you back at the bottom of the hill, for a second run

funny, my friend and I were talking about getting trained shuttle donkeys. ride them to the top, feed them a carrot, and they walk down to meet you at the bottom. how sick would that be?
