I'd try it  Things I like I'll try them twice  Black ice on the fat girl is a RUSH as well. Picture below is from Black Mountain the highest point in Kentucky . It was all we could do just to keep the bike's under us   |

I have rode dirt bikes up and down things that would make the average person scream just watching.
This my friends, are two rider s who are the best I have ever seen off rode.
Most people would not even walk up that trail and one mistake would have killed them.
I was clinchig the seat on my computer chair on a scale of 1 to 10 at a rate of 10 1/2.
Wow

lean to the left, lean to the left!!!!! i dont think i would do that even at gunpoint,,,,
but if i did, i would remove my saddle bags and do it on the valk cause the ride would be so much smoother,,when i slipped and had to go straight down,,,,

I might do it on a mule or donkey, not on a bike. I was waiting all through it for the helmet cam's shot as he went over the side. Talk about pucker time, couldn't get out of my chair for a minute at least....couldn't break the suction.  |

I wouldn't do that trail unless I had hiking boots and a parachute.

Hell, I couldn't even walk it. I'd be clinging to something solid, crying like a little biotch  |

I think I would have to have at least 10 years of trail riding under my belt before considering anything like that, and if I started that 10 years today, I might have the skill required, but possibly not the balls! This video, by others, shows one of the trails I've done on foot several times, starting at 2:04. In my teens I free climbed the cliff to the right of the waterfall. The chain shown is the only way to get up to the lake from the falls. This is Ribbon Creek, Alberta.

My dirt bike chops have degraded as the years flew by and I don't think I want to test the envelope of doom any longer. I do squirrely enough things on the Valk to keep me interested!  I grew up free climbing in the Phoenix area. I worked for a couple of years at Camptrails, a manufacturer of outdoor gear and many of the folks there taught me climbing skills. Then, one day I froze up on a rock wall in the Santa Barbara Ca. area, took me awhile to get moving off the face and haven't climbed since! Brain said,"that's all folks!" and it was. |

I rode a trail on Oahu in about 1992 that was a little like that. Except there was a death drop on BOTH sides. But... i t was only like that for 50' or so then it was back to normal. I still think I recognize a little piece of my dirtbike seat in the toilet ocassionally!!
In 1992, I was only 24 years old... and in the Navy. Plus, there was NO going back the way I had come. I was committed to riding with the locals I had hooked up with. WOW suck!
