Actually without the bike, I'd sit on the edge and dangle my legs. It makes my SO nuts when we go hiking in the mountains...she always wants to tie a rope to me when I get too near the edge.

I wouldn't want to be one of their families or loved ones...it would make me very sad to know they were purposely toying with death just for a thrill.

As DH and I suspected it was the amazing and talented "no way" Hans Rey and fellow rider Steve Peat, as someone else posted, in Ireland

Stunned as I am about the trail, the cliffs, and the comment about jumping gaps, you really need to read about the pub crawl they did the night before! I wouldn't be able to walk a straight line!!

It's confirmed they are crazy! Here's the paragraph from their web site journal that proves it:
Locals warned us of the upward drafts, that blow people off the cliffs - and sure enough the wind was picking up over night. We got an early start, and even the extra strong italian coffee I brewed couldn't clear our heads. Even though the conditions and weather were less than good, this was our one and only chance to ride the cliffs, so we did. It was a rad feeling to ride along the exposed edges and jump over some of the gaps. As time went on we started to feel more and more comfortable and daring. Shortly after we got done it started pouring rain, nonetheless we continued the trail on top of the cliffs, which was one of the more spectacular trails I have ridden. We followed it all the way to Hag's Head.

When I saw this I thought it had to be Hans Rey, he is an absolutely amazing rider (and yes, crazy
). We had the opportunity to see him trials riding many years ago at Interbike, amazing. Also seen Steve Peat's downhill skills at World's a few years back. They've got skills, but yes, nature can over ride those skills at any time!
