yeah this hill is so sick, it has ups and downs and fast sweepeers that you can tuck full bore down the whole track. One slight twitch and you loose... no mistakes can be made on this race and the riding in the race was so close... The guy with the green Aero lid was Jose from Puerto Rico, he ended up coming 4th. He is so damn fast it is unexplainable... he must have rockets built in.
The speeds we get are around the 70's but constant. Yeah it was called Jakes Rash coz this guy got mad road rash on it ages ago... But luckily it was only road rash, either side of the road are ditches filled with rocks, if you come off the road u aint coming back, and if you do you are mega hurt. There were many injuries the days before the race, someone came off and hit is head square on a rock and compressed his back, breaking a vertebrae in his back, needed to get air lifted and went through surgery, someone else came off and broke his arm, dislocated his other elbow and broke a toe, and another guy had a crash and badly dislocated his shoulder.... not a fun road to crash on

Another awesome video. What speeds does one reach on Jakes rash? Who is Jake and was the rash he got because of this hill or for other, nastier reasons?
