Quite a show. I was a cyclist for many years. Those years included include several mountain bikes. But frames can break, wheels can pretzel, and if that happens on a trail like that, he's had it.

Pretty amazing. Must not have been too many takes (ignoring the shots where there could only be one and survive) during the filming; he would have looked like ground beef after a few. According to the credits a drone was used in the shooting. The BBC does some really nice work.

Tremendous. It's great to see what has become of "mountain biking" (I still have my 1982 Stumpjumper).

Thanks for the link.
