Why, oh why, would you do a wheelstand on a rock ledge???
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Reminds me of these;

Absolutely insane cliff-side motorcyclist
and

WTF Daredevil Mountain Ride
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

I think I might even give walking a miss along there.

I'd seen the second one before, but it still had me cringing in some of those spots.

As for the guys on the push bikes, a friend of mine in the USA suggested they may have had small parachute packs on, but even if they did and had to use them, chances are Mr Shark could be waiting downstairs  :eek

Even the landslide sections would be treacherous.  I saw the Red Bull logo.  That explains what they'd been drinking!

I think they were lost and couldn't turn around.

Although they appeared to be speaking German, I think I heard one of them talking about an old Indian Tribe that used to walk the trails called the "Where the heck r we" tribe.

I saw them also looking at a sign post on the track that had faded a long time ago.

Why else would you go there ?
