Fort William DIY virtual reality video still (via Reddit).JPGVideo: Toddler takes on Fort William downhill course - with help from dad
Virtual reality is the latest thing in cycling - even Team Sky are at it these days - but as this footage posted to Facebook shows, you don't need necessarily need to invest in expensive headsets and other hardware to recreate the experience at home.
With a video of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Downhill course in Fort William, Scotland playing on TV, this toddler - complete with full face helmet for added authenticity - is having a whale of a time as every bump and jump of the course is replicated for her.
