It's a really cool video, but it's not really any more dangerous (maybe even less so) than downhill woods courses with their constantly shifting surfaces, roots, ruts, trees of varying size. The dog was a definite x-factor though.

Gotta' wonder how many get killed on that ride - looking at all the telephone poles, concrete pipes, loose dogs, etc.  One mistake and it's hospital time.

Was fun to watch - but would not be caught dead trying it.

This one's cool too, the speeds aren't but it's tighter and more technical.

There's also something similar through Prague with dirtbikes. I'll try to find it.

Give it time and the next James Bond action sequence will be something like this, or Bond is where these people got the idea.  Cool to watch though.
