That's an excellent clip, brayspeed, and if anything makes me think 'how do they do it' even more than usual. Faff about getting to the line, warming up, etc, several eye-level views of Simon's knees(!), wait for a clear up, then finally to the line and in a few seconds you're hitting Hollow with a bit of a lift at 150mph... Not normal mortals, you'd think, until you meet them all and find they couldn't be more normal.
Back to the original post, and it took a while to realize that the first climb of the hill was under the record. Now it's not the hardest hill to learn, but even so, that level of commitment to Hollow and into Karousel on first sight is something pretty special.
