Danny Hart - Fort William

Weekend video time and here is a bit showing the ever talented Danny Hart on a practise downhill run at Fort William.  His ability to react at these speeds is just amazing.

The First clip show some of the pros during practise and gives an idea of the course

This second clip buts you in Danny's shoes and shows just how fast he really is and why he is World Champion
