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.

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

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!

I'd do it as a nightride - what you can't see can't hurt you 😉

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(!)
