Maybe a dumb question but here goes. How much brake do these guys use coming down those steeps? I think I saw one locked up back tire going into one of the drops.

thanks. That makes sense. Not that he is a bad two-wheel rider, just maybe a bit of gap between him and Peat or Hill for example.

"At the moment Mike is riding a new Kris Holm one-wheeled downhill bike with gears and a brake. He is expecting to use it at the world cup events that he will be appearing at this season." I am not getting this. Is he riding the unicycle at the worldcups as a demo or the Brodie. Looking at the current VOD he doesn't look like a world cup level racer to me.
