Frenchman Jerome Clementz is among the world’s top enduro racers, having won just about every significant event at one time or another. MegaAvalanche, Trans Provence, Crankworx Mountain of Hell, the list goes on and on.

Clementz is best known for his smooth style and top-end pedaling power. So what’s that look like when going downhill? Check out this exclusive point-of-view video shot during the 2013 Cannondale Factory Racing team launch in Finale Ligure, Italy. The track is part of the SuperEnduro event held here each year.

Why do riders insist on POV’ing themselves as they ride? There’s no point. Would love to know who can watch that video and enjoy the ride and scenery……or just not get sick.

Great riding by Jerome. He rips this line!

@ Chris – In the right lighting, such as in wide-open areas, sunny skies, etc., POV can be great in measured doses, but underneath the forest canopy, with random and quickly changing shadows and highlights, they have limited use for sure.
