I should have lowered the seatpost, as my center of gravity was too high for such a steep and curvy descent. Now my thigh is swollen, but at least I have it on video, so it was worth it, although the camera got some cosmetic battle scars as well. The bike was the only thing that got away unscarred, only the cable of the speedometer snapped, but I was about to replace that with a wireless version anyway.

The old Wurzeltrail at Hameau is too rough though since there are a lot of curves with acute angles, so it is almost impossible to gain speed without overshooting the target. The new root trail (aka neuer Wurzeltrail) right beside it is much better, see the previous video in the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSrfWI1B2D0&list=PLMmY1emallpvPlYI41tuQmdwso2_-u1jG

Since Youtube has low quality bandwidth in 1080p watch in 2160p on the computer or at least 1440p on the phone, even if your monitor resolution is lower, otherwise you get the worst compression artifacts. Front camera: DJI Osmo Action 4 (Colors: Normal, Shutter speed: 1/100-1/8000, EV: -0.3, Sharpen: -1, Denoise: 0, Stabilization: Rocksteady, FOV: Ultrawide), Rear camera: Wolfang GA400 (Effect: Normal, Stabilization: On, FOV: Wide).
