>>1796That doesn't look too dangerous. Not like the people that rock climb with no ropes.
I have two theories behind this. One they are just stupid and don't think of the things that could go wrong.
And two, they do know and think about the things that could go wrong and that is why they do it. They want to risk death.

So now does that guy have to trek all the way back up that to get to his vehicle?
>>1796some people don't want to live life on easy modo
No.1801
>>1799Risky but notice he has a tendency to shift his weight to the right side, as a way to mitigate total catastrophe just in case.
No.1802
>>1801Mitigating risks? He's not a true thrill seaker.
No.1808
>>1799I don't understand this mentality.
Trusting your skills is one thing, but what if one of his tires pops, or the chain gets stuck or comes off, or the seat unexpectedly drops, the brakes get stuck, or anything else mechanical happens to his bike?
One loose screw could kill him
No.1809
>>1808Not only that but however skilled you are you will still mess up occasionally, people trip over their own feet and they have been walking all their life.
But the other issue here is chance, let's say that 99% of the time he can do something like that and not make a mistake(or get hit by a bird or something). If he does something like that 100 times then he will die. I think people like this will all die sooner or later.
No.1810
It's interetsing because in
>>1795 the OP he looks at something and says "This isn't solo material". So I wonder if this stunt was done with safety precautions such as people walking along the side and he has a rope around him or something.
No.1813
I've probably done that trail, definitely done other ones on his channel really you're just confident in your ability to not get too hurt.
No.1815
>>1813you some sort of crazy thrill seeker?
No.1821
>>1819Oh wait, I forgot he didn't use safety stuff. Yeah, it's really not safer at all. If you mess up you die
No.1822
>>1819climbing ladders is a bit different. The obstacle isn't skill, but maintaining concentration and staying calm.
He uses saftey clips there when he's not moving, which is where anything could break or go wrong.
No.1824
>>1815Nope just grew up where a lot of people mountain bike.
No.1826
>>1825how fast is that bike going at some points? Like 65kph?
No.1828
As far as I'm concerned, all biking is extreme biking.

>>1827This is crazy. The speed and reaction times necessary must require insane amounts of training. The amount of adrenaline the guy must be feeling would be incredible; you can hear him almost hyperventilating the whole time. I'd honestly have a heart attack if I was in the same position, assuming I didn't gravely injure myself by running into a tree or something.
