    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!

    crazy, just crazy (shaking head in disbelief)....

    knowing me, I'd be be-bopping along on the side of the cliff, and my pedal would hit the rock and throw me to my death... that's why I stick to trails at ground level.
    It's almost hard to believe the pictures are real. Photoshop can do such cool things, but if they say they're that crazy/stupid to do that- then I believe them!
