In downhill racing, riders only have one run to post a result. This leads to racers putting everything on the line to squeeze out every last millisecond.

Jackson Connelly got very close to finding the edge of control at the Victoria Downhill Series. Watch his incredible save below.

In this video, Connelly was charging at a round of the Victorian Downhill Series when his rear wheel started to wash in a corner. Thankfully with incredible balance, Jackson was able to right himself and continue racing.

Jackson Connelly's electric run was enough to come in first by over 2 seconds in a very stacked field that included World Cup Downhill racer Jason Arcus and Crankworx star Jackson Frew. Not too many local race series feature that much World Cup talent! See the complete results from the race below.
