highroundcountWatching that gave me chills. It looked like a fun place to ride, but stay the fuck away from the edge.
A little farther ahead in the video and it shows someone getting their skull bashed in by a tire coming off the highway. Pretty sure that person is dead, as stiff as they were when they hit the ground.

used to be that stupid many years ago.
You can hear the wind in that video, and most likely, it's blowing from the left to the right - an updraft coming up from the depths below. This would mean that the riders are pushing
against the wind, which would also mean if the wind let up even for just a split second, the let-up might cause you to go leftward.
Even though the OP mentioned leaning toward the right just from watching the video, I STILL caught myself leaning to the right! LOL!
I found what you said riveting. December 13, 2018, 05:48 PM
Jimbo54There is dangerous and then there is pure insanity. Guess what category I think this falls under.

Ryanp225I do not see ANY reward for such a stupidly dangerous activity.
I must place a lot more value on my life than to risk it over riding a dumb child's toy.

I was just thinking about that. This is nothing compared to what pro-downhillers are doing these days.
