Absolutely insane. Forget that. Awesome pictures though.
Yah, I am feeling the same here. The only place close to that I have ridden is at Isle NC on the North and South loop on Funtana Lake. It was no where as high though.
Yeah it is incredible how much that ledge will factor into your riding. I remember the first time i went to Moab and rode Porcupine rim i was scared ****less because of the drop off coming down the canyon. There was one particular technical line I rode then looked back and realized how close it was to the cliff...Sorta freaked me out.
Incredible pictures.
Incredible pictures.
These were posted on Decline's website a few months back. I am pretty sure these were taken in Ireland, between pub stops, this is Peaty were talking about remember....
Cliff's of Moher.
The last picture is as close to the edge as I could get my self to go...

I actually think it's easier on a bike to ride that stuff. I have been to bridges and gotten scared at the height but I have ridden near cliffs like that and not really noticed it because of the "you look, you go principle" so I just keep focused on the trail and it's no prob. But then you get off and look back and you're like...WHAT!!?? Like Manhatten said.
That looks so awesome !
Some may have seen this but cliff riding always reminds me of this guy.

Those pics are gnarly. The cliffs on Mt. Wilson are enough for me...
I was riding Coldsprings in SB a few weeks ago with Thrilkill. I went down a steep and narrow rock section and my front wheel hit a square edged rock causing me to bounced back and do an alley-oop 180 down the cliff. I landed siting down with my bike a few feet away (just missing the edge where it could have rolled far down). I was lucky it was only 8-10'. Armor is good!

yeah i dont deal with heights well, here in PA the last thing we have to worry about is riding off a cliff out in utah that is a very real reality...My body freezes if i am to close to the edge. I wish i could post some of the pics we took from gemini bridges UT looking over a cliff we had no idea how high it was or how far the rock we were standing on was undercut. Ouch.
That's exactly what I was thinking too. Crashing near a cliff is pretty bad news.
I like the part in the movie where the guy asks "are you all right?", like the guy just fell of the curb and scraped his elbow.HaHa. the the other guy asks if they got it on film.
i would ride there only with parachute
I don't think you're up high enough for a chute.
SICK!!!!!!
I would walk it carefully..No way ride it !

Unforgiving
Oh nooooo way in heck...
I don't know, whats the lowest the BASE jumpers jump from?
The funny thing about those cliffs is that its not in the US so you are free to walk right up to the edge. There was warning signs and a little barrier but I could just step over the barrier.
HHHHHHHOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEYYYYYY SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
high res pics?
high res pics?
thos pics are amazing, and i just recently saw that vid of the other guy falling, that sucks, but at least he's alright.
i need some pointers from those trail builders...they know a bench cut when they see one.
Anyone have these in 1280x1024?
What? If you went over the edge you would just land in the water. Pussies!
Haha no way. that is crazy. Sketchy!!!!
i'd say it's definitely in ireland, as Victor Lucas (http://www.freezefocus.com/) is a well-known sports photog in dublin. he used to shoot all the races i did a couple of years ago. looks to be west coast, maybe around the Cliffs of Moher. awe
there from peat and hans tour of Ireland. They where over here for about a week biking in downing pints. They finished up in Dublin for a few beers in the pub at the bottom of 3 rock which resulted in Hans dropping off the roof of the pub.
Vic isn't taking photos at the Irish races anymore. He's moved on to greater things and is now a regular in Dirt magazine.

At a certain height, even falling in water is lethal. I believe even the Golden Gate bridge is high enough if you enter the water wrong.What? If you went over the edge you would just land in the water. Pussies!
(I notice the smiley, don't worry.)
