Date: 2011-12-16


Does anyone know where this is? It looks life fun in a 'don't fall or you'll die' sort of way.

Phaaaaccckkkkk boys, well done!

Consequences, yup. Sweet terrain, check. Sweaty shriveled sensitive parts, oh yes......

No "cutties", a complete lack of shuttle devastated erosion troughs on beautiful North Shore classics, and no hint of new school loam shredding with a complete disregard regard for skilled braking - even better!

Nice vid, wow!

I had to stop watching it about 20 seconds in, it kinda made me sick.

I guess the wide angle lens makes it look gnarlier. Still, pretty rad. I love the way the one guy just leaves his bike partly on the trail so he can take photos!

Reminds me a bit of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDhRvvs5Xw

Europe has a surprising amount of "scary" trails, probably because it's not a particularly litigious society.

You'd want to have narrower bars for that trail.
Posted by morgman at 09:51 AM on 12-17-2011
Alright, that's on the list.

Wow, a really boring trail that you can die on if you don't keep left. Whatever floats yer boat.

Does anybody know the artist or song title for sure? I can't find this song searching "R2JD"? Thanks!

That video was filmed in Spain, it's name is "El caminito del Rey". After a couple of deaths the trail is closed to the public since 2001 and you can get a fine of 6000 euros (about 8000 bucks) but climbers still use it under his own risk.

I'd be scared of that if I was a mountain goat.

My testes won't descend from my stomach until sometime tomorrow, that was frightening.

Just on the one side though. Pretty scary for a nontechnical ride eh.

WOW...

Song is Ghostwriter RJD2...

Good soundtrack, so-so riding. Definitely unique, but not much fun in the way of the trail. Especially with the camera following a slow guy who dabs more than me in a beginner trials comp!

how the hell does the guy in front stand riding clipless when he dabs so much?
Posted by mayhem43 at 05:52 AM on 12-18-2011
nice!!! but scary as hell!!
Posted by myarmisonfire at 07:37 PM on 12-18-2011
Maybe some crazy bavarian will try biking a klettersteig route next?
Posted by Spinach at 09:58 PM on 12-18-2011
Thats the kind of thing that I dont understand.....whats basically a gravel trail with high risk. If its going to be that dangerous, i'd rather it be much more fun.....
Posted by Bradical at 08:43 PM on 12-19-2011
Definitely a trail where you should ride with wide bars
Posted by Guest at 12:04 AM on 12-20-2011
Thats silly that because someone dies a trail has to be closed and heavy fines imposed.... If im walking on a sidewalk, trip over my shoelaces and crack my skull open.. are they gonna ban shoelaces and close that sidewalk... people annoy me.

Sehr geiler Trail !!!! Erinnert mich an den "Monte Baldo". Wäre ´ne Reise wert.

In this day of CG, you can't be sure if what you are seeing is real.
