You would think you would see a few bikes that were left over the cliffs. How else would you get them back up to the trail if they slid off?

Not even 10 seconds in... HELL NO!!!! Not even sure I'd hike it.

Whew!!! That's some crazy stuff.

I need to find this video of a mountain bike ride by a guy considered the worlds top rider. The trail is 600 feet up on a ledge outcrop. I get vertigo just watching it.

Video is at the bottom... has some footage on the cliff. Insane!!

Me? Not a chance.

I suspect minute 5 is when they discovered adreneline is brown and runs down the inside of your leg.

I wonder if they had to go back the same way. lol.

Haha! No freaking way. Not on a KLR. Not on a mountain bike. Nope. Those guys are nuts.

If the trail let to whiskey lake and a pristine trout stream with gorgeous mermaids to tie my flies on...still nope.

You gotta know your limitations. This is far above anything I would ever attempt unless I was wearing a harness to something solid and moveable above me.

I used to mountain bike and ski some ridiculous shit when I was younger. But I wasn't even that crazy back then.

bear grylls could do it riding a wheelie the whole way while eating camel poo and being chased by a t-rex!

those dudes got some balls for sure. lucky two other dudes with big balls weren't coming the other direction and they all met on one of those narrow, steep cliffs! then what??? cliff chicken?
