I was shocked by that video. Did you see the amount of erosion that stream was causing !

They seem to have edited the use of the word '[b][i]the[/i][/b]' out of that video! They've replaced it with the word '****' instead by the looks of things...

Probably no better than the bloke on the vid couldn't. Good effort tho. I'd want a bike with a low BB.
Bike skills required=1 - Balls reqired=11

yeah, looks difficult but not too so. As usual though, you never really get the full impact of how steep it is.

Right at the bottom though you can see how much suspension saved him

probably with a similarly large amount of locked back brake and slide... but it doesn't look overly fun to make me [i]want[/i] to ride it tbh

As it looks steep on video then presumably it is steep...

If that qualifies as riding then I can ride pretty much anything that is not a cliff. ๐Ÿ˜›

I [i]think[/i] I could, I'd suggest a bit more speed might help but then it is difficult to tell from that vid.

Radoggair, this is still pretty good. I wonder how many folks would have the nerve to try this?

I wouldn't even fancy walking down that!

It looks pretty steep, look at the waterfall at least 100% gradient
