Oh, man, are you kidding me? That's insane. Fuck that guy for freaking me out riding down that precarious narrow ridge. I felt like we were going to fall off the path to our deaths at any moment.

The way they do it now is the Red Bull ppl get there early and make the basic stuff, then the competitors are allowed to make their own paths - they actually have their own people get on course with pics and shovels.

Oh, sure, there's a path there now, but what about that first guy who rode that without the trail. That's an extreme thrill ride.

Well, as much as I want to say that's cheating, we used to do the same thing with dirt bikes. We'd spend a few days cutting stumps and building up burms and digging out sections. they weren't always usable right away though, but after you leave them for a few weeks and let the ground harden up again, it made for some great trail circuits.

Well, it's a fisheye lens. Extreme bros love the fisheye, I guess because it makes everything look faster and more dangerous. No need though, it's impressive enough the way it would look to a human.

Wow, so narrow!

I wonder how wide the paths are then.
