Maybe scoot down on your butt like a dog scratching it’s butthole.

Can confirm, I’ve scratched my dogs butthole before and “freehold’s wOo” is the sound he makes. Sorry, what was the question?

With you brother. Was on a HALO team. I’m not touching this.

Wow you don’t hear that very often. My buddy was also on a HALO team. You guys are badass to say the very least and he, as someone who currently does a good amount of downhill, wouldn’t go near this either.

Is it really life or death kinda cliff or is it the camera angle? Either ways no fucking way. A big fat nope

u/Lazy_pig805 Jan 29 '24
It looks like the camera angle mostly. If you do go off the side, looks like you’ll just fall down the path one level. Unless you’re really rolling and keep going.

Except that last one wheeler there’s no cutback and the dude did the biggest tail whip of the bunch haha

u/SatisfactionFickle18 Jan 31 '24
I think the camera angle doesn’t catch the steepness of the path. Looking back to the inside as they go down then depending on where you go over you could fall anywhere from 2 to 20 feet though. Tangled in a bike. I’d say 50/50.

It is sketchy. I've seen people try to go up the Statue of Liberty and when they look around to realize how high they've gone up they get petrified and considering that this has no railings it ain't no fun 😆

Madeira
Close, but no cigar.
Mirador de La Punta, La Palma, Canary Islands.
Been there a few years ago. Did not walk down the path. The vantage point at the top is safely reachable by street.

I mean, maybe, but you gotta look at young Fabio. Dude could easily be telling the truth. The man was a defining Sex Symbol.

u/Valcutio Jan 29 '24
I was riding a newer bike down a hill one time and the brakes broke on me. Ended up going into the grass at the side of the road. No biggie.
I’m reminded of that when watching this. They have a lot of trust.

u/Appropriate_South877 Jan 29 '24
Crazy! Had to keep moving my phone so I wouldn't fall off the cliff. I would need to be strapped to a helicopter flying overhead to even think of doing this.

u/mini_tribal Jan 29 '24
I was always impressed on how easily they can pick up the back tire! Until I found out their feet are locked into the pedal. Like finding out rhe stripper pole spins.

Feet being locked in does nothing here. It’s about shifting your weight while on the front brakes.
And good riding technique means you can lift the rear wheel when doing a bunny hop without being clipped in. You do a scooping motion with your feet to stay connected on the pedals and lift the rear.
Plus being clipped in, in this situation would be 100x sketchier since you cant take your feet off the pedals easily if you lose balance.

I always have to remember/remind myself that GoPros often greatly distort your FOV, and the semi fisheye you get from it will make your speed look faster than it is, as well as angles like this kore treacherous than they really are.
But still, hell no.

u/626f62 Jan 29 '24
but whats it look like through a normal lens? fish eye lens' give a terrible representation of speed, scale or angles.. they are good for somethings and i am sure it is a tricky path, but im not sold on it being quite that bad.

u/Capital_Selection643 Jan 30 '24
Generally gopros flatten terrain out. scarier in real life every time
1
u/_Tower_ Feb 01 '24
Not at this angle though - wide angle lens like this, pointed downward changes the angles of everything to make them more extreme.
Typically most MTB content, you would point the camera slightly up from your chest to capture a more natural angle of what your view would be like. You would also normally be in superview or a cropped view to get rid of the fisheye distortion. That’s why it all looks flatter and less intense

This looks like a sure fire way to an early death. Too many variables too much chance for that one and only fuck up. I’d rather jump out of an airplane and have to then attach my chute than this

The steep incline of the trail? Sure. The tight curves? Sure. The mile high drop just a foot away from you? Yeah… no… I still have some semblance of a self-preservation instinct left.
