INSANE trail vid from 1st person

Ok.

I'm not a mountain biker, I like road bikes personally.

But someone sent me this and I just had to share it with you...it blew my mind.

I did a google search on this domain and no hits came up....so hopefully this is not a repost.

This link *might* contain ads or banners that *might* be NWS, but when I opened it up it was work safe for me.

Wow...just...wow.

A few years old. Remains my favorite some-random-guy MTB video.

I've always been a sucker for the casual ravine gaps.

Reminds me of a more hardcore version of what i did BMXing and stuff.
Would love to be able to afford the mountian bike to be able to do that stuff.
Would love to combine my BMX exp. with the adaptability (only word that came to mind, lol) of a mountian bike

These are not real mountain bikers, these are baggy short wearing, slammed seat fools!

Jeez, sorry it was a repost...I guess searching for the link wasn't enough.

Anyway, glad someone enjoyed it...I had never seen it before and it really impressed me.

I'm pretty sure I would be ok until the high, narrow bridge....that would probably be the end of me.

No soup for YOU!...

actually it is one of th best "tube" vids I have seen. you are missing out. I wonder if some inspiration was pulled from air supply, the jumps look almost identical.

Now now.

If the poster has a professional-level background in BMX, supercross, and the highwire/trapeze arts, they might make it that far.

Perhaps with some scary moments.

Awesome video, I hadn't seen it before, thanks for posting. I'd love to ride that trail (minus the huge jumps ).

OK - - Hey, thanks never. I remember that: Western Washington; not-so-secret secret location; go-big-or-go-home stuff.

But anyone with that background would not describe themselves this way:
