dirt bikers follow a trail along the side of a cliff. Would YOU try this?

NO! I would not. I'll jump out of a perfectly good airplane, or off a platform with a rubber band attached to my feet, but not that.

Trail might appear to be more narrow than it actually is... Don't get me wrong, it's narrow...and you wouldn't find me on any sort of contraption other than my feet traversing it. The camera lens may add to the narrow effect.

I rode a trail like that once on my 650 dual sport. It was scary. It wasn’t for motorcycles. I kept imagining me and my bike falling down the hill and no one finding my body for a long time. It took a long time to get to a point I could manage to make a 5 point turn and get out of there. I learned my lesson with that one.

I've ridden that sort of trail on mountain bikes. Great fun, but people do die on those trails. You just get so focused that you don't even see how bad it is until you look back and say OH SH*T, did I just ride that!

There's a trail in CO that I've ridden a number of times then stopped for a good look at it. I just couldn't ride it any more after that. Ignorance can be bliss!

Oh hell no; I got the vertigo just watching the video. I think I may have puckered the seat cover on my computer chair, too.

This stuff causes recurring nightmares. A Badwebber hoodwinked Lighton and me to do something similar near Hungry Valley a few years ago. I have never been so scared as one false move meant a several hundred foot drop off a steep hillside.

No, not me. My luck, I'd stall it out and put my right foot down.....

So who put the freakin' stone wall in at 2:50ish that they had to ride over. Holy cow!
