    Cycling backwards down a mountain hill with switchbacks

    Maybe lph has seen this already. Filmed in Norway. I guess they had to close off the road to cars..

    Oh sweet Jesus. That made my neck hurt just looking at it.

    I've driven that road once, it's very beautiful. I don't think they closed it off, two cars passed in the course of the video. But there's not much traffic there off tourist season, and I guess the camera guy spotted for him as well.

    I wonder how often he "practiced" on this road before the filming.

    gorgeous place. Trolistgen must be a famous place! Beautiful glacier carved valley. No wonder Sissel Kyrkjebo (youtube Se over fjellet. stunning scenery) wanted her kids to experience nature. If I had a child I want them to experience the natural beauty like that. Gorgeous waterfall, gorgeous vista. I wish I could be there even if it was raining.
