white line… It’s because I am placing the bike there, not because I am running out of road,” Brian says. “A lot of people misidentify what I am doing.”
Okay, so now for those close calls, those near-death experiences, however it is one categorizes what they’ve witnessed. The two incidents happen about a third of the way through the five-minute video, which represents a master class in the high-wire act of road bike descending. It begins with a turn to the left, in which Brian carries so much speed out of the corner that he nearly collides with a rock wall, and ends, perhaps 100 feet later, when he banks around a blind bend back to the right, where the road suddenly narrows, causing him to come within what appears to be millimeters of clipping his front wheel on a concrete barrier. Had he struck it, he would have probably vaulted into the wooded ravine on the other side. It says something about the clip in general, and this section in particular, that moments later, when Brian is forced to ride up onto the far berm of the road, threading a needle that’s nauseating in its narrowness, the move barely registers, so inured has the viewer become to the risks at hand.
Both incidents could be chalked up to sheer luck. But the audio tells a different story. As in all his videos, Brian narrates the descent with a nonchalance that borders on monotone, calling out troublesome turns, telegraphing the speed he’s about to hit before he sprints out of the saddle, swaying the bike viciously beneath him as if he were on the flats rather than descending a road so rough and steep even seasoned riders would approach it with two fingers squeezing either brake lever. “Whoo!” he shouts, not after narrowly clipping the rock wall but before it. “Oh, yeah!” he says moments later, but again it’s milliseconds before what appears to be a near collision with the concrete barrier, not afterward or even in the moment. Suddenly everything computes. Of course, it’s so obvious, though this realization hardly diminishes the athleticism on display. Brian isn’t reacting to the road and all the obstacles it throws in his path, he’s anticipating them.
“If I am pushing right up to the white line on the edge, it’s because I am placing the bike there, not because I am running out of road,” Brian says. “A lot of people misidentify what I am doing there.”
Before filming, Brian estimates he rode Tuna some 80 times, memorizing every turn, every ripple in the tarmac, rendering the whole thing rote before Bucky hit “record” on the GoPro. This allowed Brian to max out each corner, to extract as much speed from Tuna as was humanly possible, laying down a time he reckons even a renowned World Tour descender like Vincenzo Nibali might find
