Four of us rode the Portal trail by Full moon with no front lights, 2 of us had tail lights so we rode following 2 red lights...this was NOT by choice the guide (a friend of a friend ) got us lost and we got caught out..... a 9am start we should have been done by 2....luckily we had food and water just never thought we would need lights...it was the most amazing and scary ride of my life and something i do not recommend doing but i'll never forget it !!!

[@patmcelwain3135]

My wife and I rode the Portal back in 1997+/-... she was not a happy camper. She took her bike for a hike that day. Even hiking your bike down that trail is a feather in her cap. I had a blast, I only got off my bike once, there was a 4 to 5 foot drop as we got closer to the bottom. I must admit, the trail does look much more rocky than back then. I had (and still have it) a 1995 GT Avalanche with a Rock Shock Judy (a couple inches of travel, if I was lucky). I'll never forget that ride, it was a bucket list ride. Thanks for rekindling my memory.

I rode Portal in about '98. I think back then, you rode up the atv slicrock trail, Poison Spider, then down Portal. Once I walked past the 'death' spot, I had one of the most amazing rides in over 30 years of mt biking. I couldn't believe how dialed and in the zone I was as I ripped down all that rocky stuff. To this day, not sure what got into me, but my steel hardtail and I felt like world cup champs.

It is a near-death experience. The little yellow sign around the middle days to dismount since people have died at that section. Personally I would be annoyed if I was that guy who was dismounted and this rider flies by 1-2 feet from the cliff edge right from behind me. You hit one rock wrong and that can be it for your life.

I discovered the MTB in 1995. I have noticed since finally upgrading to a new MTB after 20 years that the trails are all made for/by 26 inch wheel bikes. Much harder to use my 29er on lots of the switchbacks and of course those mile wide bars! But, after a few rides I was smiling ear to ear. It is like rediscovering the sport!

What amazes me more is not that the guy is riding along the edge of a cliff, but with what enthusiasm and excitement he passes every obstacle. He is absolutely focused on the road and, combined with his skills, this allows him to drive quickly and efficiently even on the edge of a cliff, overtaking another hurried cyclist. If he sees an opportunity to drive better, he takes a bike and drives through the site again. The crazy rocks he's riding on are really impressive. This is an exorbitant level of off-road driving.

Man, I rode the Slick Rock trail over Moab year ago that that was at the very top of my ability. Was an absolute joy and nightmare to get through that, a huge rush. This... damn. Well done. That trail looks dangerous even for walking in some places. There's no two ways about it, Southern UT, especially the Moab area, is out of this world beautiful and crazy.

The way you handle your bike was amazing to watch, but also quite stressed. Respect!
