RISKIEST Mountain Bike Ride of My Life 1000ft Drop

I tackle the RISKIEST mountain bike ride of my life along a 1000ft cliff in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. It was more than a ride - it was an epic, fear-defying, heart-pounding adventure that tested my limits and skills.
Brace yourself for a journey filled with stunning views, intense moments, and the pure adrenaline rush of biking on the edge. Don't miss this!"

You can tell it's a foot trail from the rope on the side. Really dumb because if there were people walking along the ridge and they had to stop suddenly it couldn've been a seriously bad day for them and innocent hikers.

[@DJboutit2]

@@danm4320 You can tell like 65% of the trail is way to ruff for a bike and a lot of the spots are really to narrow. Riding on the really big rocks right next to a 300ft to 500ft drop is just asking to die no tanks.

[@mycroft16]

Coming back to this a few times, and I think the most impressive thing about this video is just how much information your brain is processing doing something like this. Visual information has to be processed, recognizing things on and off the trail. Rapid decisions based on that. Balance information from your ears. Tactile information from your hands and feet about the terrain and bike itself. Deciding when to stiffen or relax muscles to handle bumps. Then all of the additional senses sending info. The sheer amount of information hitting you non-stop at high speed that has to be sorted, prioritized, decisions made and reactions sent out to the body... that's truly insane.

[@DeadlyDan]

Most of it is muscle memory. This is why they say you never forget how to ride a bike.

[@Dzeroed]

It's pretty easy when you fall off a few times. You learn not to make mistakes pretty damn quickly, you know with self preservation, risk/reward and all that.

[@Terra_Lopez]

These are great points, really well said! Thank you.

[@mycroft16]

@@DeadlyDan Oh, absolutely, much about the process of riding is offloaded to the brainstem and never even reaches the brain. But this is a trail they have never ridden before, so there's still an awful lot that is going to need processing. They may know how to avoid a rock, but they don't know where they are on this trail, nor are they aware ahead of time how wide, steep, other obstacles, etc. So that's all going to have to come from real time processing. And that need will cause a much higher release of adrenaline to aid in that with its seeming time dilation effects on awareness. Which is likely why expert riders seek out new trails... to get that higher "rush" feeling again. After the 4th or 5th time down, they've got the trail down and most of it is offloaded to the brainstem again.

[@Minuku42]

Very irresponsible (and in most European countries, including Switzerland, also illegal) to use hiking paths for MTB driving. Behind some of those corners there could've been a hiker going up and you wouldn't have a chance to see him first or react appropriately. Getting nice pictures is well and all but you should certainly stick to designated MTB routes there.

you can see Grand Randonnee markings (red and white) along the track - that is definitely a hiking trail. hopefully they did scout ahead and warned upcoming hikers - if not they were lucky that Swiss law enforcement didn't catch them. [edit] second part seems to be a proper mountain bike trail.

[@stevemullen634]

@@alphaniner3770 In Switzerland, France and Italy trails with these markings are generaly shared between hikers and bikers as long as the bikers prioritise the hikers. In Austria and Germany rules have gone more strict because of repeated conflicts between hikers and bikers. It is a fine equilibrium and shooting down the trails at speed on your back wheel, skidding through tight corners with blocked rear wheel and cutting corners through fields will not help this situation. Cool in a bike park but not on the trail. It will cause the community to close the trail for bikers and that will stay forever.

[@alphaniner3770]

@@stevemullen634these trails are often very old, and bikers can be seen as recent guests. It's indeed up to how responsible the bikers behave. Videos like this show the reckless side - not sure if they took any safety precautions regarding hikers. I would be very upset if I would run into such a bunch bombing down - imagine hiking with kids up that path. But if they had warned me it would be another story - it is impressive to see what humans are capable of.

ESPECIALLY (!!!) if the bikers ride as recklessly fast as the guys in that clip....... in many places on these very narrow high up and exposed centuries-old "bisses" or "suonen" as they are called, there simply isn't enough space to get past one another safely (or sometimes AT ALL, i guess) if there is a MOUNTAIN BIKE involved.....! and there is a reason why over the last 600-700 years or so, up until the mid-20th century, many many men had to lose their lives building (and each spring repairing) the hundreds of kilometres of these "water ways"... but those men back then HAD TO risk their lives (as opposed to the "fun chill awesome dudes" in this clip...) as the villages and people and animals and the farmland in the villages 100% depended on the waters coming from the far-away glaciers high up in the many valleys of our region. it is totally crazy, to me at least, to see that today, people do freely risk their not-so-dear lives on these "bisses", for "fun" or simply to impress, to test their "limits", for a thrill ride or some clicks... because: no matter how good and skilled and experienced and "chill" a rider and bro and dude you are, on THESE trails, especially at THIS SPEED, ONE single false 'step' or little turn on your bike, or any kind of unexpected 'event' along your 'fun ride', and you are GONE! gone FOR GOOD. i do know many, many of these trails, including the ones around crans-montana, as an avid hiker and nature-lover, though. the last mountain bike rider i remember who was not only injured etc. but who actually died on one of those "bisse" hiking trails was in july 2022. they found him almost 200 metres below the place where he had lost control. there are plenty very thrilling and kind of risky and 'fun' bike trails in the valais without the stupid risk involved in this clip.... good to see that at least in SOME of the super dangerous parts even you fearless and awesome guys had the courage and intelligence to climb off your bike....... everyone wanting to 'copy' this and go to the valais or crans-montana but NOT wanting to plummet to their deaths riding the "bisse"-parts of this bike trail should do the same.... get OFF their bikes. but for the WHOLE part of the super-narrow "bisse".... a few centimetres of rocky ground in the middle, a rockface on the right, and an abyss on your left.... no need, really, to risk your life or THE LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE. by the way, why not give HIKING these "bisses" a go next time...? that way you might even REALLY SEE some of the awesome scenery and surroundings, but 'in the moment'... not later on a screen, in your gopro clip. happy trails!

Exactly what I was thinking of. I was wondering if they would come around a corner to suddenly find someone there, not prepared for bikers flying down the trail.

It's a hiking trail. It's pretty obvious and the guy who uploaded the video said it.

[@stoffeli73]

@@haltux well, the guy who uploaded it makes it seem as if a "local mtb guide" actually tells them to go there/follow that trail with their bikes (@beginning of clip).... thus implying to people who watch it that this IS actually a mtb trail (even an official one?).

[@haltux]

​@@stoffeli73 The uploader explicitely said it's a hiking trail somewhere else in the comments, also it was confirmed by a local guy.

[@stoffeli73]

@@haltux ok, then. at least in the comments;). good to know. thnx.

[@ruesaukko6487]

hearing the pure joy they experienced warms my heart to bits

[@pareshmathew1596]

WHYYYYYY...but man you guys are crazy and really skilled.

[@daydreamer7618]

Hey thanks for filming the race for the Darwin award. I usually just read about who's won it. It's interesting to see so many eligible candidates in the actual race.

[@avidviewer1]

That was absolutely unforgettable! Stunning riding, Alex, and the editing was perfect. Thanks so much! BTW: Thanks for the warning about turning off if you've got anxiety, but unfortunately you forgot to say that *watching* the video will probably give you hospitalising anxiety for the rest of your life . . . Cheers! 😂🤣😂

Insane! So fun to watch from this prospective.

Perspective being 'not on the side of a cliff'.

[@jackkonnof4106]

This was really fun to watch stoned. Thankyou.

[@fleetadmiralhazen]

Dude you crazy and amazing at the same time.

[@xxwookey]

That looks fun - if a little sketchy in places. It's hard to tell through that lens how technical it actually is. Given that a guide takes normal bikers down there I presume it's not as bad as it looks. Big dropoffs are always a bit worrying on a bike - whilst no problem at all on foot. I've seen a few things I've actually been down on youtube (couple of canyons and the Camino Del Rey) and they are generally made to look much worse than the reality .

[@koensmit7533]

I'm wondering how much of the scariness is coming from the fisheye lens, but what an amazing video :D

[@reruption9362]

The only guy who has claustrophobia in a perfectly save tunnel but happily rides on a wall meant to protect you from falling into the valley... dude I got sweaty hands

[@williamgraham6878]

As a mountain biker I don’t poses the cajones required for mountain side trails. Beautiful riding my friend! Love your videos!

[@H0lyFr0ggy]

this looks more like hiking trails

[@BirdmanPRRT]

Brother, you absolutely crushed it! Amazing footage to share the experience!

I’m over here like “my heart”.. but I can’t look away!!
