A Most Terrifying Canyon Descent 

@@sergioomarrabadanrodriguez317 actually 1.6

@@sergioomarrabadanrodriguez317 hmm... Just to be precise there :P

I can fell you now in km/hrs

Wouldn't have the balls to do it lol

I was thinking the same thing.

lol

So true!!! I will happily do the clock on a motorbike but i do get a touch nervous over 30 on a pushbike.

@@whatman6199 *pedal bike

No suspensions + shity brakes + No joints protection + No integral helmet + saddle the size of a credit card + tyres the width of a dick 🥲 that's why ahah

@@whatman6199 haha so do I 🙈

This is exactly how it works, any true cyclist will confirm

Why 25mph?

@@Dybalax63 Why keep commenting that?

Yea he was pedaling not breaking

like every cyclist? lol

and new pants

So does he

I need to buy new brake pads after watching this

Lol I wouldn't even go. I'd probably lose control even on my highest gear

sameee

But the blind corners don't see you.

i live in germany, bavaria and it sucks 😂

@@dopegirlsdope stimmt schon irgndwie 😂. aber wenn du irgendeine schön voralpenlandschaft im kopf hast kannst du dass bei bayern gleich wieder vergessen..

Yeah this guy is playing Russian roulette with they way he rides a bike. I like 😃

TraumaER me too i want to do this

@@TraumaER he hasn't seen the recent videos of carbon wheels splitting into 3 parts on descents

typical of so many road cyclists today... "SshArE tHe rOoOAdDD yUO ArSEhOLeE!!!" ...ignores all road signs.

800lb Gorilla maybe because they are nor relevant for cyclists But I won’t ignore the fact that a few cyclists are really ignoring the signs. They represent less than 1% in my city.

In the Alps (North Italy), i drove 30 km mountain passes up and down.In driving down,i overtook lots of cars, mostly in curves. It was lots of fun ...sadly now, i am in bad shape and wont drive them anymore.

😈👻

Yo yo I was tripping when he said that, I was like really

Lol i ride a sport bike

When I heard him say that I got up, went outside, sat in my car and put my seatbelt on, just in case he crashed

He meant the road diggers

🤪

@@SAFABrian BRO WHAT IS YOUR FASTEST SPEED RECORDED IN KPH?

@@jmapabz1113 I think 100

I'm used to hitting trails moutain biking I thought I was fast then I bought a road bike I feel like I fly downhill now

@@wakeup9523 and when you buy a motorcycle it gets on a another level

Just most road cyclists don't like talking about descending, since they are afraid of judgements for "not showing a good example" for others, but many of them do power-descending.

Next I'm putting a motor on my road bike then I'll move up to a motorcycle

@Happylittle3x3 hi cuber

He pedalling to keep positive traction, when you coast you lose feel of the road at high speed unless you keep peddling

I'm wondering what gear ratio you need for such speeds

@@bullfrogboss8008 probably a 53/11 or 53/10?

@@onehourmusicbc Never seen a 53/10, 11 is as small as you can go on a regular freebody and even the 11 is a bit hackish since it sits half off the body. I spin out around 120 RPM at about 45 on a 52/11, so pedaling at 50 on a 53/11 should be doable.

@@chadwells7562 watchout SRAM axs. They all have the 10 tooth cog in the back 12 speeds as well Though I am sticking with my 105 :P

Imagine that somewhere in the middle of that run or flying down that canyon.

💯 😂🤣😂

I broke my collarbone somewhat like that. Now I got 6 screws and metal in me

@@lefteriszisopoulos248 ouch sounds sore, didn’t know you could have screws in a collarbone

@@Louis-ee2iu they put a metal inside the bone and 6 screws on top of the bone to keep it there .

He's doing 30? What's the limit? 15!?

eh6794 lmao

I hate so much the ones that think like you

A bike at 30 mph can’t do much damage to anyone, while a 1,5 tons car going at 20 is likely to break legs and more. And also the bike is way more maniable than a car since lighter but I won’t argue with you about this because I know you ain’t cyclist

eh6794 momentum. Energy = 1/2 mass * speed^2

Typical biker.

@@maestbobo I agree, but what about cyclists?

Yea he should have stopped.

Typical cyclists. They can't have babies as pregnant women are NOT AERO

At that speed if he pressed his bikes he would've skidded and lost control of the bike

Yeesh. Yeah this one and Tuna are descents you can't just presume you'll be able to follow someone down at speed even if you're a decent descender

Safety first. I remember I went into a corner too hot and there was sand. Worse road rash ever. Expensive kit torn to shreds. No broken bones though.

@@jinngeechia9715 At least you can learn something from that ;) No big deal

im about to get a road bike as well! im either getting a specialized Allez sprint comp disc or a BMC Teammachine slr02 FOUR

Get a motorcycle as well.ya won't regret it.

@thespiritbomb so the road bike is a fake bike?

Tbh, as far as i have seen it he didn't use the other lane before or in any blind corners, at the exit of the corners he did because he was able to look far enough. I thougt the same as you in the beginning but as a motorcycle driver i'm pretty safe to say he was aware of what he's doing with the lanes haha

@@whyage3473 I'm sure he knows what he's doing, otherwise he wouldn't be alive long enough to have a channel xD but yeah I also love speeding down a hill, I'd just be a bit too nervous doing what he did 🙈

@eh6794 all through this video I wasconsidering how smart it was that he probably had a car go down before him to make sure there was no traffic Why do you think that he just hoped he wouldn't kill someone? People don't want that and I'm sure he doesn't. That occurred to me because of my background and how I think and I get you're also concerned about people and don't like that he seems like he isn't! Great! I trust that he cares and takes necessary precautions so he can do these crazy things without endangering people. Love

@eh6794 a pedestrian 😁

eh6794 he knows what he’s doing, he cycled like a pro. And doesnt mean he run his life for good if accident happens. Some great cyclist got an accident and break their bones. Just stay within your limits and you will be fine not to die je je. : )

It's spelt E-V-E-R.

@@isthatujeebus 😂 not far from wrong.

@@SAFABrian m8 that's what she said m8

I talk about things I'm doing as I descend in videos here and there, but no tutorial. Guess you gotta watch em all... 😅 Just watching the lines and listening to the braking gives you a good idea of what I'm doing too

If you want to learn how to descend fast on a road bicycle you must first learn good bike handling skills. Specifically steering and braking. I've written many articles on what it takes to Brake Steer and Turn (BST method) a two-wheeled machine safely and efficiently. 👍 There are different approaches to learning how to be efficient and safe on a bicycle. And remember efficiency breeds speed. Once you understand the physics and learn how to control your machine the speed will build and come more naturally. A Surefire way to become a good bike handler is to take to a motorbike. Off road would be my first choice. If that's not possible, the second best way to learn good bike handling skills is to start mountain biking. I'm predicating this advice on the fact that there is little natural ability or you may have a lot of trepidation. And by the way that is all normal, very few people have the ability to go fast without the ability to suppress fear. Managing the perception of risk and fear is a key component of riding fast. There is no such thing as big balls, or fearless riding that is just a meme or a misnomer. The fastest riders in the world will tell you they are scared shittless at times. From Rossi, Marquez, McGuiness, Rea, Hickman, et al. As well as From the fastest DH World Cup riders... if you're not scared then you're either lying or not human. 😄 The best and the fastest manage those perceptions of fear with near perfection. Slow speed balance skills, learning to modulate your braking, understanding and practicing the subtle inputs to the bars ( counter steering ) along with body steering are all good skills drills to practice. I offer many examples of drills to practice on any bike into various articles I have written. 👌 also you should think about reading up on some related material. Motorcycle racer & coach Nick Ienatsch. Pick up a copy of a Twist of the wrist, or

Yes - in most countries it is not advisable to descend on the wrong side of the road

Know the road, and always check your bike before every ride.

Not necessarily, either end you can do as part of a loop and there are several climbs through those mountains, and even a few rolling routes at the end

@@chadwells7562 Most probably a joke. But thank you for the interesting bit. 👍

Obviously you can go blind and base on your own experience, you can read the road and the sketchiest parts but if you fail, no much chances to save with a bike at 60 km/h. If you know the road you can go way more faster and choose the right lines to go faster and safer. Sorry for my poor English!

But from what he says you can get, in my opinion, that he already knows that descent.

Yup. His riding style through residential areas and potential cross traffic is way more dangerous than what he’s doing on the twisty bits.

For real! I was impressed with the speed.

That is the only dangerous thing here. I don't get why people think going 50 on a bike was a crazy thing. It just isn't, it's normal, nothing to talk about.

That's a rule. Where I live and cousins live they don't need to do that

I did that once. Now I have a nasty scar on my knee

@@ya_boy_noobfucker4209 when I brake downhill i was both brakes

I don’t see the problem. Use it wisely, don’t slam it. What do you do if you need to do an emergency stop ? Should practice doing these.

Whether consciously or not counter steering is what makes a two wheeled inline vehicle turn. Counter steering on a bicycle is very subtle because of the light weight of the machine. Countersteering combined with body steering or body lean is how you make a bicycle properly turn especially at higher speeds. But those who consciously countersteer will make better decisions and typically be better bike handlers. It only takes light pressure on the bars, no need to have a heavy hand or make abrupt inputs to the handlebars. Smooth steering and braking inputs will result in a safe and efficient ride no matter what speed you are traveling at.

Countersteering messes with your head when you first start doing it but can be practiced on slow comers first and you'll never go back to using sooo much upper body again...left turn, pressure on the left hand and vise versa, once your comfortable in your head you won't be puffing down the hill wasting energy

Hurricane ridge perhaps? I’m 70 and my oldest son and I go looking for those steep ones still. We use 1990s rigid mtn bikes with 2” slicks. My wife was an outstanding cyclist in her younger days but we scare the crap out of her. 45 on a rigid fork bike is very fast.
