As a skier from a very early age (55 years ago) I used to be ok but have slowed up a lot in recent years. With the stuffed knee, I may never ski again...

Just watched this and it is totally insane. Markus Elder is sometimes called "the best skier you've never heard of". In all my years I've never seen better...

So what is Red Bull?
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

I have sen a few take to the grass, but they have a nice low center of gravity and a roll cage around the back if not the full one (which that is not). And the drivers will probably be in 5 point harnesses. Looks like a sequential shift box so not the run of the mill.

I would have worn gloves though :-)

The 'R' has the sequential box, the 'S' a conventional 5-speed box.
508bhp/Tonne ( I assume for the 'R' )

Watching planes landing at Heathrow during storm Eunice. Warning: 8 hours long! :shock:

'Course a lot of them don't – about halfway through completely lost count of the number of 'go-arounds' (try it again – and after 3 failed attempts, you're diverted)
