Balls of Steel

[Mugglechops]

I would be scared to walk this trail

[DaveOZ]

No thanks.

[Jean]

Part of me likes the look of that and wonders, why not? The other part looks over edge and gulps. Though I think the wide angle lens give an extra 'freak out' factor.

I think your spot on it's not as bad as it seems it's just the lens making it worse than it is.

[steve-waters]

Ah yea it is just the lens making that track look really skinny and the drop big...maybe a little but that is still pretty impressive and would not catch me up there.

Maybe the lens but you watch the riders in front there anit much room between them and the rocks and some of the little bends

[jbchybridrider]

Wide angle lens or not I'll pass on riding it but notice the camera "where he's looking" is always focused on where he's going and not over the edge. That would be the key to successfully doing it.

[jet-ski]

they were very close to scraping their bars along the edge of the cliff!! ;P

[Apple]

maybe balls of steel but brains of sand, why would anyone do that. Death looks so near.

[Mulger bill]

'Cos it's huge fun Apple. (Tho' I suspect large parts of that trail would be too much fun for my taste these days).

Oh for the folly of youth...

I would have done this once upon a time...and have even fell off from a similar height

and you live to tell the story.

[gcouyant]

I struggled to watch that.

Having had to do something similar in years gone by, that feeling of sheer terror returned.

if i had their skills, i'd consider doing it. they know how to hold their line - it's all about having (justified) confidence in your ability. if i did that i'd definitely end up peering over the edge and of course the front tyre would follow..

Been there ... almost done that

[Sadhaka]

Wow!

[ghostpoet]

Love how the rider in front nearly has an off right at the start. How close are their bars going to be to clipping those rocks?
