Actually falls are extremely rare. I've done a similar trail in Oregon and some guy fell off. Funny thing is, his bike was still at the edge, so maybe he dropped his bike and leaped off on purpose. |

Yup. There was a guy, I don't remember what field -- base jumping or climbing, I think, who was always in those "holy shit" vids. Right up to the point where he fucked up and died. |

He rode with our group in Orlando in 1999 or 2000. The dude is 100% impressive and accurate to 1/16 of an inch. |

Cliffs of Moher in ireland, I was there a few months back. Never even got close to that edge, much less riding a bike. Insane.

Yea, I think you're talking about that badass climber, Dan Osman who died a few years back. ETA: Damn, I can't believe that was 10 years ago. |

Ever ride the poison spider trail in Moab, UT? It has some scary drop-offs! Hans Ray is the man though. He got discovered by riding his bike all over his car in a traffic jam in NYC.

Dan Osman was gifted - truly incredible climing skill...unfortunately, mortality wasnt a hobby of his and didnt seem to be a priority. I read "fall of the Phantom lord" many years ago which detailed his life, climbing style, and his intro to base jumping. Free-soloing feels great......until you screw up. I had to get caught in a crux once....that was enough to scare the shit out of me and realize I didnt want to die trying to get off on a good route. Never got interested in base jumping at all...Osman falling to his death wont encourage me any more than i already am either. |

I biked the Flume trail at Lake Tahoe and there's about a two-mile stretch where it's about a 900-foot drop off to one side of the trail. Spooky as junk but in reality it's pretty safe. The trail is about the same width as an average sidewalk in most places so while it's a little sphincter-puckering it's really not that bad. Especially considering the kick-arse view...
That said, I wouldn't get NEAR the crap shown in those pictures. |

This is the story behind my ARFcom handle.
No, I was never good enough to ride a lot of that stuff. But I sure as hell tried. Had a lot of fun, got a lot of bumps, bruises and other injuries, and managed to pull of some pretty crazy stuff. I recently decided to get back into riding, and I'm building up an urban/dirt jump mountain bike. |

That just really made me miss riding.  My favorite trail was very similar, but the vegetation was a little more dense, there were longer skinnies, more natural drops and jumps, and several streams, but less elevation change. The dirt was a little more hardpacked too. |

Only way you'd find me up there is riding shotgun in a helicopter....and I wouldn't be all that comfortable then.

In other news, who was the Xtreme skier that just bit it?
I prefer my trails with a bit more "flatness" on either side.

I will parachute into hell with a fire extinguisher if it is necessary, but I don't risk my life for nothing. Those guys ain't right. |
