... 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.

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

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.

A small clip of the bars on the rock wall to the left would send you head first off the edge.
On the bright side, if I had to fall off that cliff I would rather it be head first.

I'd be twitching so much riding that, hat it would take a week to break the seal between arse & saddle due to the suction created!

According the NSMB page with the same vid:

The trail is in Ötschergräben/Austria.

Well I agree with that I do think that board walk stuff is rotten.

I think I'd have a go, and hope my vertigo doesn't kick back in. Trail doesn't look very challenging, just scary! 😆

That's where I saw it. D

oesn't look like anything other than a scare fest really. If you're going to ride something that's got death potential, you'd at least like it to be entertaining. This doesn't really look that entertaining. Just s**t scary!

I'd be reluctant to walk it, I would never ride it. Don't do heights well at all.

The proximity of the rock face to the left makes it even worse as if you try to avoid the edge the chance of catching a bar end increases. Shudder.

neninja - still ride with bar ends ? now that's a worry, only joking.
obviously the ramblers at the end of the vid had not timed their walk to perfection(!)
