    Fabulous!

    Although to be honest, I'd probably have trouble walking there, let alone even thinking of riding a bike.

    I think it's a little of both, just like with crazy bike messengers. But can you imagine the adrenalin rush?!!

    Yes, they are crazy. Period. No discussion.

    Gulp!

    The landscape is beautiful. I try not to look at the bikes...

    I would never, never want to find myself there on my bike. I was imagining hiking it until I read about the updrafts. Yikes!

    what a feeling just looking at the pictures... I scrolled down the pictures and with other hand I grabbed a chair firmly and felt little dizzy just by looking at it. Never had that feeling before. I'm afraid of heights but I try to overcome my fears... I'm planing to jump with parachute this spring. But on much safer area, not even near mountain edges and in tandem (me and a trainer with on parachute). I would NEVER come near that edge, even if they put a fence

    Call me crazy, but I like a trail to have a little better flow, and none under it.
    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

    Mountain Unicycling - what's next?

    Here is a new twist on that first photo... A little You-tube video about an amazing mountain UNI-CYCLIST. Wonder how many trips to the ER he had before he could do this?

    My husband was in the room when I opened this link and his comment was, "Do these guys have a death wish or what???!!!!"

    It's amazing to watch and I sometime wonder how they got started doing this stuff? What possessed them?
