... or at least undo the stem, shift the bars a foot to the right, then do up stem again.

I like it near the end where one of them is taking photos and leaves his bike on the trail round the corner on an already narrow trail, i don't think any of that trail required any extra obstacles!

It's amazing the difference a drop makes, take away the drop and you'd fly down the exact same terrain, add the drop and no chance in hell I'd go near it.

Yeah, and leaning left would happen in real life too, I would then clip the rock and be bounced to certain death, and I hate it when that happens.

No chance

One slip and you're dead doesn't sound enjoyable

I could probably walk that... Wouldn't even want to push a bike along it never mind ride it. Buuuut,

take away the drop and you'd fly down the exact same terrain

Not sure I'd even bother to ride it tbh, without the deathyness it just looked a bit pants?

Their lack of skill or confidence shows and it scares me. I wouldnt push my luck with this amount of dabs etc. Good luck to them for future rides.

TBH I have a feeling that I would lose what small amount of skill and confidence I have if I had to ride that. The camera man appeared to ride most of it ok.
