When you get offered a ride in a 'copter you never say no. Opportunities like that don't come up very often. This is an aerial view of the 4X track at the World Mountain Bike Champs in Les Gets in France in '04. Quite nice for a rider to have seen it this way perhaps? And below is Monsieur Arc En Ciel himself hanging out and snapping. Being a native he had a better viewpoint than mine, the ear of the pilot and certainly a better fastening holding him in. I daren't have leant too far out or I would done the world's best ever invisible bungee jump!
