Gary Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 There are some nice trails like that down in the south of France that we use to ride.. Sure does look impressive on the video.. Wouldn't want to go off the trail.. Nice find..
jollygiant Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Did wonder if he was going to lose it over the side at one point!! Great vid.
wavydavy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 FUCK THAT! I ended up on a trail like that here once - once - and couldn't turn round so had to ride it out. I didn't know the human bowel could contain so much shit to fill my trousers...... Since then, I have learned to read maps better (although Spete, deviant and thesagaciousman may disagree on that point). Anyone going on the HUMM later this year will have the chance to ride shit like that in the Pyrenees. Me? I'll be nowhere near those ones, thanks. How do people overcome the whole fear thing when doing that - there were a few moments that looked like it was a 50/50 call on whether he's going to just glide along or die in a slow, bone-crunching fireball at the bottom of the mountain.
Bigspud Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Made my palms sweat just watching it - kind of trail that would make me nervous on foot!
madmike Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 One of the comments on the video wasn't from someone on here was it? id wheelie that whole thing then go to the pub afterwards.....
wavydavy Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 One of the comments on the video wasn't from someone on here was it? I don't recognise any of the names and a true PB-er would've claimed to go to the pub first, shirley? But that nebulabob needs his arse kicking "Life's too short" for what? Having fun? I bet he thinks he's lived a long life, when really it's just dragged on for so long because he's so fucking boring....

I'll be nowhere near those ones, thanks. We didn't ride anything even remotely close to that. Any near-falling-off-cliff experiences were purely down to my, erm, over-exuberance, and nothing to do with the landscape.

'tis why I said people will have the chance (i.e. if they look for them, then they'll find them) but I won't be going anywhere near them - I was bad enough on the 4 metre wide stuff!
Basil Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Minced about getting that done eh, bloody dutchists...
TKDMitch Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 Isn't that the kind of thing you need a nice peaky 2stroke for Wavy? Mitch

[serious answer] Honestly speaking, if I dared go there in the first place, I would probably go for a 125-200cc stroker to bimble as much as possible and use the immediate power to get over the nasty bits.
