Downhill Video: Madman Mountain Biker Darren Berrecloth's Insane 2,000 Foot Descent

First Posted: 02/22/11 12:39 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:35 PM ET

Mountain bike free-rider Darren Berrecloth took his sport to extremes when he traveled the Gobi Desert to shoot this nutty downhill video.

Berrecloth climbed 1,638 feet and proceeded to bike down a total 2,000 feet, a goal he had for himself while visiting the Desert.

The downhill video, shot from below, shows Berencloth descend the mountain at incredibly fast speed while making it look easy.

It's a great mystery.

Easier way to get an adrenaline rush? Lean way, way back in a chair, then right before it flips over, lean forward really quick.

Works every time.
