Serious skills, and - whatever the gender of the rider - a pair of big brass ones.

I was picturing something completely different. I thought it was going to be one of those impossible trial courses.

The trail itself is not what I would call very difficult but the margin of error is basically ZERO! And the consequence of it is.....well let's just say failure is not an option. :shock:

These guys indeed have huge cojones! :jawdrop:

That is insanity. I would think twice about walking a trial like that.

Wonder where that trail is? The riders sounded european.

I also think I found its 4 wheeled cousin down in Baja. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXngwdJt4pI

Its called control. Really that wouldnt be that scary. yes a couple parts might be but as long as you use control and arent stupid trying to do 35mph when you should be doing 5 it wouldnt be that hard.

yes skillful. Stupid comes into play when there are people who are to unwilling to take a chance in life and would rather sit and be a couch potato. Now thats stupid.
