parrrrrrp
Twitching.
Ditch the fashionably wide new bars!
Blimey, that's even worse than watching ice road truckers 😯
part of me wishes i was watching some sweary northerers on orange bikes doing it.
looks ok
And......breathe.
The riding looks fine, if there's only a 3ft drop to the right 🙂
And I fell off the northshore are Afan once 😳
That is MAD!
Theres always ramblerists who tell you you shouldnt ride bikes on here,
SOMETIMES THERYRE CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Almost a few toilet momnets there for me
Nice sound track.....scary trail
thats a nice walking path....
I wouldn't even walk that..
Jeez I hate heights rode a similar trail in the Alps and fell over the edge landed feet first on a outcrop of rocks 2m below scrambled back up and walked for a while s**t myself good style. 😯
Now try it again without all the dabs...
Mental
Er, that made my palms sweat!
Look at the penalty for failure dude.
Sorry but no.
Ditch the fashionably wide new bars!
... or at least undo the stem, shift the bars a foot to the right, then do up stem again.
Bit too much dabbing going on there for my liking 😉
Now that's a traverse!
You know that was filmed in Essex right? Dat iz ezzy for rund dis manor, demz can't a bin lokalz.... 😀
Meanwhile...terrifying stuff, great find OP!
no. just, no.
I did one tiny bit of trail like that above Lugano this easter, tight left hand corner round rock face, big old drop to the right, bars skiffed the rock on the way round. jesusjesusjesusjesus was pretty much all I said. yeeeuuuch, still freaks me out!
Kev
Hans Rey leading out? Looked like him.
That's awesome. Scary...but awesome. Where is it?
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!
Smooth!
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.
anyone else find themselves leaning to the left side of their monitor?
I wouldn't even walk that, can't handle drops to the side of me.
****in ell! 😯
anyone else find themselves leaning to the left side of their monitor?
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.
Looks a giggle. Would love a crack at it.
😯 Nope, not for me, I prefer my trails with a little less certain death
First question, spd's or flats...
wow, not for me. Looks like a nice area to ride though.
anyone know where that is?
No chance
Whatsoever
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,
seosamh77 - Membertake 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.
Somerset hills?
I couldn't even watch it all, never mind ride it!!
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.
Bolloxs to that.

'cept we'd be using SPD's 😉
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!
Its looks Spanish, dunno where though.
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.Not sure I'd even bother to ride it tbh, without the deathyness it just looked a bit pants?
I think I'd have a go, and hope my vertigo doesn't kick back in. Trail doesn't look very challenging, just scary! 😆
According the NSMB page with the same vid:
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!
OOOhh eeek, nooo, leaning left....!!!!. Me not likey at all. Not a fan of exposure or heights, indeed I would be kinda petrified just walking along that. 😯
This is a classic of course but lets reminder ourselves not to be silly;o) :

Blimmin flip. Be fine going the other way, I just hate drops on the right! 😉
I'd do it as a nightride - what you can't see can't hurt you 😉
reaching for my prozac after watching that 😯
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(!)
My bum was twitching just watching that! 😯
Liked the tune, is that RJD2?
Not alot of point in wearing pads is there ?
S'ok my kyle straights will save me as i fall 60 feet into a ravine.
Its in Austria if you want to ride it. A Trail near Hermagor.
High consequence riding.
Respect due but I prefer slighlty better odds of coming home
defo to SPD's 😕
