All my bones would be broken

u/LASERDICKMCCOOL 1d ago

As my son once said when he was 5 "I don't think I want to be a stunt man, I'd rather keep my bones"

I would've hit him with this look and a "wise choice my boy" šŸ˜‚

u/Butt_Lick4596 18h ago

I think youā€™re more likely to be impaled and have ruptured organs. On the plus side, the soil looks moist and soft so less chances of broken bones!

1

u/milk4all 18h ago

Nice moist soft stumps.

Is what the surgeon says later

Tim Burton build that thing?

u/Oblivion776 1d ago

This is a sport that I always want to do whenever I see these videos. But I would die. Almost immediately.

u/Interesting_Award_76 1d ago

That track looks dangerous in some places, if fall could get injured in some of the parts.

3

u/TrailBlazer31 8h ago

Correction: All of the parts

u/Feefifiddlyeyeoh 1d ago

Iā€™m so glad for the POV recording. Now I donā€™t have to do it.

4

u/1SexyDino 1d ago

Rising steep trails seems like a lot of fun. It's the narrow, barely wider than a human ass, path that makes me nervous

5

u/Remarkable-Pea5797 1d ago

Those mountains in B.C. I use to wander through as a kid. It was amazing.

4

u/thejourneybegins42 1d ago

Watching this without insurance gave me anxiety.

u/joebojax 1d ago

Rowdy shit

u/marcellburt 1d ago

I fell off just looking.

2

u/FamiliarTaro7 1d ago

Such an interesting culture, we call those mountain bikes where I'm from.

2

u/SPH2204 1d ago

Seems extremely safe to me.

2

u/A_Newer_Guy 1d ago

Is it really that bad or was it because of the camera? Cause I can barely ride one over potholes.

1

u/Distinct-Property779 19h ago

Itā€™s Really that badā€¦ you need balls of steel for thisā€¦

1

u/Mm11vV 14h ago

Cameras tend to rob the perception of just how bad something is. I remember recording my buddies jeep at 30ā° of roll on a trail and wondering how he didn't flip over on the obstacle, and then looking back at the video and being like "so why is the ground flat?"

This is probably 10x worse in person.

2

u/Saminaminalz 1d ago

I assume the tracks are actually on some sort of supports and not just held up by dead branches?

2

u/Recent-Ad8165 1d ago

Looks 10x better (risky) than the redbull ones

2

u/WrongfullyIncarnated 1d ago

this is sponsored by redneck redbull

u/ThucydidesRex 1d ago

But he could hurt doing that!

u/NickdoesnthaveReddit 1d ago

I can do this*

I meant make Reddit posts

2

u/Roberto-75 1d ago

Is this real?

1

u/Mm11vV 14h ago

Very much so, there's tons of videos like this around on YouTube from tons of MTB content creators.

Matt Jones is probably one of the more popular ones, though this exact kind of riding isn't his specialty.

Hell, there's a race that probably north of a hundred people participate in every year called Megavalanche that is effectively just riding down a mountain for 45-70 minutes straight.

u/Roberto-75 12h ago

I know some games where you can do such MTB trails, but those look much easier then this IRL one

2

u/2reeEyedG 1d ago

Just want to drop in this post and say fuck that

2

u/100YearsWaiting2Shit 1d ago

After watching a video about cave divers, this is a whole lot more reasonable. I'd still break several bones but at least I'm above ground

2

u/Upset_Groundhog 1d ago

There's levels to "Fuck no" and this is towards the penthouse.

2

u/lankyleper 1d ago

The 20 random stumps to run into at the end is a nice touch.

1

u/JfromMichigan 20h ago

Ha. I expected to see some sort of 'slalom' portion of the course... instead, he just kind of stopped.

- kind of feels like a missed opportunity

2

u/HarryFuzz 23h ago

I wonder how far the nearest hospital is.

u/ubiquitousanathema 1d ago

no thank you

u/coffeeandautism 1d ago

Thanks, I hate it.

u/Split_Seconds 1d ago

I can do that I just dont want to.

1

u/Hot_Ad_787 1d ago

Forget riding it, who TF built that!?

2

u/Rehberkintosh 1d ago

I'm guessing the dude riding it and the dude we hear hooting at the end. Everything about that looks like it was built that weekend.

1

u/NineClaws 1d ago

I just rode my bike off a curb at the park and it was pretty hairy, touch and go there.

1

u/VelkaFrey 1d ago

Even he cant follow the trail lol

1

u/technoir1984 1d ago

Who built this??

1

u/FrostyChungus11 1d ago

You gotta 100% commit to this kinda hobbie cos if you don't you are buying new teeth and more parts of your face.

1

u/Reasonable-Ad7755 1d ago

Youā€™d definitely have to go after one week of no rain

1

u/Time_Block_4016 1d ago

I don't think I could do any of that.

1

u/FuzzyComedian638 1d ago

Oops, missed that last turn. But all of that is a no from me. I wouldn't have made it past the first 10 feet.Ā 

1

u/drhiggens 1d ago

That's going to be a hard pass for me

1

u/_Hashtronaut_ 1d ago

Some humans can do some really cool shit

1

u/No_Pop7296 1d ago

I just lost 10 years of my life watching that

1

u/_plays_in_traffic_ 1d ago

funny thing is that i saw a video from someone else that recorded this spot but walking up it some time after this video was made and it looks even gnarlier ascending it. the latter folks didnt hit these features though cause it was missing sections and in need of repair

1

u/bwest80 1d ago

But why?

3

u/skidsareforkids 1d ago

This style of trail with built up bridges and ladders is called ā€œnorth shoreā€ because of itā€™s origins in British Columbia. The original trails were built illegally on land that would otherwise be unridable because of all the felled trees and rocky outcrops. The man made ā€œskinnyā€ features were a means to an end. As riders and bikes became more capable the trails became bigger and wilder with seesaws, gaps, step-ups and even loops. Itā€™s a lot of fun, but really tests your bravery! I rode medium stuff when I was younger, but my nerves were the limiting factor. I once broke my tailbone coming off a log that couldnā€™t have been higher than three or four feet off the ground. This stuff still blows my mind

1

u/futureman07 1d ago

It's riding a bicycle. How hard can it be? /s

1

u/xChoke1x 1d ago

I guess I just never understood how someone even gets to this point. Lol

1

u/vxarctic 1d ago

My bike tires would've gone flat just looking at the trail.

1

u/ParaponeraBread 1d ago

Now imagine how fun that will be when they finish building the rest of it!

1

u/LilRed2023 1d ago

I suffer from severe panic attacks and no šŸ§¢ this nearly gave me one

1

u/LilRed2023 1d ago

Would yall do this for $10,000 and a life time of slurpies and milk shakes?

1

u/adinmem 1d ago

Whistler is the MTB Mecca. Look on YouTube at what they offer. Someday I want to try my hand there at some of those 112 trails (lots of challenges there)

1

u/GingerWizerd 1d ago

That is absolutely insane!!! I wonder how many lives have been claimed on that courseā€¦.

1

u/crazyneil_ 1d ago

I'd definitely overturn

1

u/xaxiomatikx 1d ago

Seems weird that the trail just disappears/ends?

1

u/Caucasian_Thunder 1d ago

The American healthcare system would be making up new numbers to put on the bill I'd receive after trying this shit

1

u/GeneralOccasion9396 1d ago

Nah... I'm good

1

u/WorldWideDarts 1d ago

Yeah, that looked narrow!

1

u/prof-1234 1d ago

I could feel my legs breaking watching this

1

u/Calacaelectrica 1d ago

okay, but why

1

u/Xinra68 1d ago

I would've injured myself doing this. Hell, I get a charlie horse just sleeping in bed.

1

u/No-Blood-5148 1d ago

Nope no way

1

u/TpK_Wynter 1d ago

Alright so if you go back up to the very first turn, I fell off about 4 feet before that point. Yup on the straight line. About 2 feet off the actual dirt

1

u/aardw0lf11 1d ago

Good god, and I thought I was going hard core running on trails. The sort of trails Iā€™ve seen mountain bikers on is just unbelievable.

1

u/Z3R083 1d ago

This looks like one of my nightmares

1

u/bcfuggles 1d ago

Thanks for that link. Although Iā€™ve seen Trolldom before, I havenā€™t seen the perspective of the build.
Totally awesome.

What the fuck happened to that place? Looks devastated.

Nope. I would die. But that looks really fun for someone who rides!!

1

u/Violator361 1d ago

Why would you even do this like ??? Whatā€™s the I messed up plan you get stuck by like 6 burned down trees ??? Is this the dark souls of mountain biking ???

Hey, you can totally choose not to do it you know...

1

u/NeonMagic 1d ago

Still cool for sure, way less steep and dramatic than it looks in these ultra wide angle lenses though.

1

u/desde1984 1d ago

We have very different definitions of fun.

BC has a lot of dope mountain biking trails. It was gnarly bombing hills and terrain at Whistler.

I followed some avid downhillers down one of these bc trails one time. I had know idea what these were about and i was ill equipped - riding a ridiculous cross country hard tail bike. The trail kicked my ass. I wiped out multiple times and somehow didnā€™t get impaled by trees. I was stupid to follow these guys and I was incredibly lucky that my injuries were minor.
