I know I'm going to get ridiculed for my comment, but it seems questionable to promote riding DJs (while doing backflips) without a helmet (in the "Compound" sequence). Seems like his sponsors, Monster and Fox (a helmet vendor) would want to be advocating wearing a helmet anytime someone is riding a bike. Ok, I'm done with my rant. Let the ridicule begin......

I bought Simon's Fluidride DVD last year and it was the best money spent on riding all last year - that includes two trips to Whistler and a new Demo 8. He presents some great concepts in a way that is understandable. If you only watch the cornering stuff, it is totally worth it.

I gotta ask a lame question. I'm building a jump line on my property - it is incredibly difficult to find solid information on the right radius for a proper DJ ramp like this. Any chance you know the radius of the ramp in the vid?
