That's really impressive. That dude is made of different stuff.

Holy hell is that crazy, surprised a Lefty made it that far 😉

I was tired driving up Mt. Washington in my car on a summer day...

Seriously?? Have you even ridden the 2.0 lefty?? It basically has pike internals anyway. Try a short ride on this as compared to the bluto. This is not the lefty that you love to bask for 2012. The bluto is a wet noodle that borders on dangerous. This thing is the real deal.

Saw Tim race 'cross at Mercer when they had the pros there! He is definately the real deal. Thanks for posting this!

I kinda like my Bluto, its flexie but nothing like the early suspension forks.

At least I can say I've climbed the Mt Wash Auto Road faster. Although, I did it during the summer with a road bike. 😛

To be fair, Tim did spend half of his ride posing for cameras and chugging RedBull. If he rode straight up like he meant it he'd RIP!!

Could he have done this on a mountain bike with studs for the ice?

Serious

Some of it looks like you wouldn't be able to ride it on a normal mountain bike. That steep ass section I doubt you'd get enough contact patch. It's kinda fun to watch him struggle with traction. A couple less PSI and that rear tire flipped around would've made that ascent a bit easier. I wonder if he's spent much time actually riding that bike or if it's just publicity like the Peter Sagan Fatboy video? Or the Aaron Chase one? Or the Wade Simmons one?

no its not. The arrogance of cannondale riders never surprises me

Hey Mr G, yeah being very familiar with that climb, I think under those conditions that he's a badass fo sho.. ..
in fact, I heard they gave him a wallet with B.M.F. on it when he got to the top

Was prepared to be impressed,
he used the road doe.

And where's the descending footage?
