RISKIEST Mountain Bike Ride of My Life 1000ft Drop 

I'm so proud of myself for not falling off my computer chair just watching this. Insane.

I love mountain biking, but I would never be so foolish as to risk my life on a trail like this.

Hey we all have to start somewhere. Beginner trails like this set a valuable foundation.

Brakes sound like you're at a World Cup match. Outstanding video. One could only dream

Are you *sure* that's a bike trail and not just a foot trail? lmao! That's really intense stuff! I'd love to go hiking on this mountain.

IN flying there is a saying - "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots"

That was utterly insane, I would have died at least 20 times attempting that!

It's amazing how they kept descending yet the drop remained 1000 ft. Those mountains are fascinating.

This feels like a montage of 'wow' moments. You are one of the few people making super wide angle footage work. Fantastic riding Alex.

Very irresponsible (and in most European countries, including Switzerland, also illegal) to use hiking paths for MTB driving. Behind some of those corners there could've been a hiker going up and you wouldn't have a chance to see him first or react appropriately. Getting nice pictures is well and all but you should certainly stick to designated MTB routes there.

Coming back to this a few times, and I think the most impressive thing about this video is just how much information your brain is processing doing something like this. Visual information has to be processed, recognizing things on and off the trail. Rapid decisions based on that. Balance information from your ears. Tactile information from your hands and feet about the terrain and bike itself. Deciding when to stiffen or relax muscles to handle bumps. Then all of the additional senses sending info. The sheer amount of information hitting you non-stop at high speed that has to be sorted, prioritized, decisions made and reactions sent out to the body... that's truly insane.

I'm seeing the beautiful mountains and trails and they're just so majestic. Man it feels like a lifetime seeing those mountains as you guys were biking. I feel like I'm living in those backgrounds when I'm watching videos.

I love these videos... because there is absolutely no way on earth I would ever do this myself. Thanks for letting mere mortals live vicariously through your insanity.

I don't mountain bike, but I do hike peaks, and there is something magical about the high alpine environment. The air is cool and crisp and feels electric. And the colors... greens and blues that all feel deeper and richer. This trail was intense. Even from a hiking stand point, but biking it... dang. Brave. there had to be some pretty intense "oh crap" moments when turns or things come up on you out of nowhere. Those nice long stretches where you could really let go and just pick up some nice speed... amazing.

I love mountain biking but I will never experience that,. THIS is by far my favorite video on RU-vid . CRAZY !!!!! LOVE it

I'm thankful for videos such as this from about the 7:04 through 8:34 mark for a couple different reason. 1. It's important to have people who actually believe they are invincible so we can have statistics to validate our mortality. 2. It's important that I can show my wife there are in fact people who are far more reckless than myself. So keep on keeping on until the bitter end boss man.

Amazing ride, sure...but I've got a few issues with this type of thing. Erosion for one, and the recklessness of bombing down a footpath and across tracks without a mind to possible walkers and farm traffic.

I love the thrills on the trails riding my bike but I would not risk my life for that. You are a brave man, hands down.

My mouth was wide-open all the time watching this. Incredible !

Crazy how the wheels don’t burst from all those rubbles and rough terrain 😮

That cliffside, narrow trail section was terrifying. These guys have amazing skills but have to be insane. Wow!

So scary it was almost painful to watch this! I can't imagine what it felt like to actually be riding this trail, mechanical failures not allowed, or else you die.

Watching this VDO releases my inner anxiety and stress ❤. Thanks a lot!

Unbelievable. What an amazing place. You guys are crazy, and so skilled at your craft. Well done, and thank you for sharing.

Thank you for bringing us with you. I can’t even imagine what this must feel like

I thought I had some very crazy mountainbike moments in my life but honestly this is on another level

This was the best thing I’ve ever seen that bike trail was insane all the different types of Terran on the edge of high cliffs definitely a must to go on thanks for the video

"This is the feeling I live for" ... that hit hard.

Outstanding that your bikes held up to what looked like some pretty rough terrain.

Damn that looks like adrenaline fuelled fun, well done guys.

We only have 1 life to live, and some people don't mind risking it, or even ENJOY it as if it was who they are, for example rock climbing without ropes. They have INSANE dedication. I would never encourage this life risking mindset, but i still have mad respect for these fearless humans.

7:05 the fact that not only you biked in the steepest edge but you had such SPEED descending is bonkers. Wow.

There is a huge difference between courage and stupidity

You and your friends riding in this wonderful nature look so much fun, perfect

You guys are equally crazy and skillful. So amazing!

Holy Moly! Those cliff sides were hard to watch. EPIC!

Insane! Thank you for sharing your experience with those of us who's in love with life and would never take such risk.

are you sure you installed brakes and not a train horn? 😂

Wow, I got to visit Crans-Montana in 2019. The views were stunning, and this video just made me appreciate the fact that I was stationary and relaxing most of the time I was there lol

Biking on the abyss, it does not necessarily shows intelligence. But apparently you live for your hobby, and skills you have of course. Absolute respect. Always enough bike balance for you 🍀

Absolutely terrifying but also beautiful and pure nature!! Thanks for sharing for the most of us who will never see this ourselves

Thank you RU-vid algorithm for suggesting this absolutely epic video. You boys shredded that 🤙🏽 And man I gotta say right when the music starts after the cave, and you captioned this is the feeling you live for when riding….man I felt that shit in the feels. Thank you.

This video earned my sub. Great riding, brother!

it is clearly a hiking trail, they took huge risks as if the hiking trail belonged to them. not to mention the useless risk taking of the one who films to make a sensational video.. when he holds his bike on the right of the ravine and he walks on the edge.. very intelligent he is also the only one to do that in his group .

My brain can't even react fast enough to what I'm seeing let alone make judgement calls split second body steering like that. Thanks for being absolute maniacs to bring us these awesome spectacular views since I will never dare or be capable to do this myself ! :)

Wow, what a ride! Beautiful footage!

Just got into biking and I get chills watching this!

nice, adventurous ride but would be fine if you guys respect the environment a bit more, as you where saying it is not a bike park, there will no-one reshape the track, blocking wheels in corners, shortcutting the way over the gras just ruins it - forever, especially in an high alpine region. have fun - stay save.

you need to put a disclaimer - No bike was hurt during the filming process. This is absolutely insane especially the narrow tunnels and edgy cliffs part.. That surely was one hell of extreme MTB experience ... Kudos to you guys !!

What an amazing ride! Your skills are impressive. I would have lost my cool with those edges. Well done!

I admire people doing this stuff, full of confidence.. When I was younger I do crazy things like diving in a steep cliff into a shallow river/sea almost landed face first. I know the feeling of adrenaline rushing out and it's so fulfilling when u conquer your fears. But as I grow older and have my own family, everything changes just like a blink of an eye. I am afraid to do foolish things nowadays. But It put a smile on my face as I remember those crazy stunts i did when I was younger... Young, bold and foolish!

Insane, gave me anxiety just watching it, cant imagine how someone found or made this trail.

I've never had my jaw drop like that while watching an MTB vid.

WOW that was crazy!!!

This is in the top of any video I've ever seen. It's so at crazy and beautiful to look at. Well done and quite amazing. This is going to sound a bit weird but it's the type of video I can imagine in the future for bed-ridden, elderly or otherwise incapacitated person, this is the real-life VR type experience they can be shown. Some future VR so real and they are flying down this mountain from their prison of a bed and are set free. Weird I know.

Only 6 mins into the vid and it’s a banger 💪

i was born and live in this region (VALAIS) and love mountainbiking myself, and had made a comment earlier on how 100% stupid this was.... but had to find out that this actually IS an official mtb trail now... ???😮😢 i do hope i am wrong. will investigate more. anyway, i STILL do think most of those "water/tunnel-trails" in our region should be reserved for hikers ONLY, as an 'encounter' between hikers and bikers along those narrow and dangerous trails (it is NOT the wide-angle that makes it look that scary... they ARE!) leads to VERY risky situations... also for others!!! ESPECIALLY (!!!) if the bikers ride as recklessly fast as the guys in that clip....... in many places on these very narrow high up and exposed centuries-old "bisses" or "suonen" as they are called, there simply isn't enough space to get past one another safely (or sometimes AT ALL, i guess) if there is a MOUNTAIN BIKE involved.....! and there is a reason why over the last 600-700 years or so, up until the mid-20th century, many many men had to lose their lives building (and each spring repairing) the hundreds of kilometres of these "water ways"... but those men back then HAD TO risk their lives (as opposed to the "fun chill awesome dudes" in this clip...) as the villages and people and animals and the farmland in the villages 100% depended on the waters coming from the far-away glaciers high up in the many valleys of our region. it is totally crazy, to me at least, to see that today, people do freely risk their not-so-dear lives on these "bisses", for "fun" or simply to impress, to test their "limits", for a thrill ride or some clicks... because: no matter how good and skilled and experienced and "chill" a rider and bro and dude you are, on THESE trails, especially at THIS SPEED, ONE single false 'step' or little turn on your bike, or any kind of unexpected 'event' along your 'fun ride', and you are GONE! gone FOR GOOD. i do know many, many of these trails, including the ones around crans-montana, as an avid hiker and nature-lover, though. the last mountain bike rider i remember who was not only injured etc. but who actually died on one of those "bisse" hiking trails was in july 2022. they found him almost 200 metres below the place where he had lost control. there are plenty very thrilling and kind of risky and 'fun' bike trails in the valais without the stupid risk involved in this clip.... good to see that at least in SOME of the super dangerous parts even you fearless and awesome guys had the courage and intelligence to climb off your bike....... everyone wanting to 'copy' this and go to the valais or crans-montana but NOT wanting to plummet to their deaths riding the "bisse"-parts of this bike trail should do the same.... get OFF their bikes. but for the WHOLE part of the super-narrow "bisse".... a few centimetres of rocky ground in the middle, a rockface on the right, and an abyss on your left.... no need, really, to risk your life or THE LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE. by the way, why not give HIKING these "bisses" a go next time...? that way you might even REALLY SEE some of the awesome scenery and surroundings, but 'in the moment'... not later on a screen, in your gopro clip. happy trails!

Thanks for filming this `departure` from the top. I wouldn`t even walk the narrow steep passges :)

Hey thanks for filming the race for the Darwin award. I usually just read about who's won it. It's interesting to see so many eligible candidates in the actual race.

Dude that was some sick riding. Im going to live vicariously through you though since no way in hell id attempt that.

If mountain bikers want to risk their own lives it is their decision. Well, other than accidents take up valuable resources of the mountain rescue. But riding downhill with that speed along narrow trails where hikers might come along is just reckless and irresponsible towards others.

Beautiful landscape, youth, health, great bikes, great friendships...Perfect!!

Parts of that was sketchy as hell but worth it in the end, absolutely brilliant mate 🤘🤘⚡️🐺

Like bloody hell the amount of speed he gets is quite something, very very dangerous, but of course we're all here watching, thank God he survived,,!!

Life is precious, it looks that some guys don't grasp the concept.

Y'all are amazing! But I held my breath during the whole video 😮

Excellent video guys as it reminds me when I was young and in les alpes!!!!!!!

WOW man ! i dont have any words to say just anything on this video ! pure Mountainbiking experience ! i dont have that big of balls to even try this ! but so extreme nice to see you doing this ! much love brother dont stop this content ! and greetings from germany

you sure this was part of a marked mtb trail? not a hiking trail?

that trail is wild. love the adrenaline.

Adventure of a lifetime. Amazing video. Lines were sick. Death potential so high and those tunnels. Wicked

This was INSANE! You guys are so brave

That was absolutely unforgettable! Stunning riding, Alex, and the editing was perfect. Thanks so much! BTW: Thanks for the warning about turning off if you've got anxiety, but unfortunately you forgot to say that *watching* the video will probably give you hospitalising anxiety for the rest of your life . . . Cheers! 😂🤣😂

Insane!!! My god, I would surely die on such a track! Amazing video!

Astonishing how fearless you guys rode down the mountain 🏔️ But you guys could've easily lost your lives on the section with gravel and a 1000ft drop, it's just insane to think about it...dangerous stuff.

Glad you lived, quite actually. I’m 73 and have some near death under me belt BUT. BRILLIANCE. Funny crew. Fearless. “This is what I live for. !” Absolutely astounds me how extremely skilled riotously talented Bikerz laugh hilariously in the most dangerous times And the nuttiest moments. Bloody Brits ❤️👏👏👏Astounding risk takers. After riding on those 500 m cliffs, the woods seem easy. 🤪 For THEM. Tunnels I could never fit through 😳. I’ve watched a lot of kayaking videos. Extremely treacherous. But these guys take the cake. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I raced motorcycles for seven years. People thought that was dangerous. This is actually dangerous. Racing motorcycles seems like child’s play compared to this. thanks for doing that so I never have to. 🙏 please continue to stay alive 😱🥳🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️😎👀🥸

Thanks for the great and exceptional content! I'd personally would love to watch the full, uncut version of this one or any other trip, my friend :) uncut content is amazing!

OMG . Bike riding and The nature is insane ! Thanks Man i feel Good Now

This is crazy! you guys are in another level!

My hat off for you guys. Beautiful mountain trail, but so dangerous. Glad you show this.

The camera absolutely flattens that descent and fails to show how freakin’ steep it has to be!! Crazy stuff. 😅💚

As a mountain biker I don’t poses the cajones required for mountain side trails. Beautiful riding my friend! Love your videos!

wow! that was utterly amazing! you guys have superpowers! absolutely incredible! watching you move makes me very nervous!

This is sick, cant walk no more, but i love this kind of vids watching on the couch 😄

That was next level scary! All I could think about was clipping a bar on the rocks and then flying over the cliff on the left. 😮

I’m over here like “my heart”.. but I can’t look away!!

I have anxiety. Thanks for the heads up. But also I couldn't NOT watch the whole thing. And that 1000 ft dropoff came to play!!

You guys are nuts! And totally blessed. Thanks for sharing. ❤🎉

That looks fun - if a little sketchy in places. It's hard to tell through that lens how technical it actually is. Given that a guide takes normal bikers down there I presume it's not as bad as it looks. Big dropoffs are always a bit worrying on a bike - whilst no problem at all on foot. I've seen a few things I've actually been down on youtube (couple of canyons and the Camino Del Rey) and they are generally made to look much worse than the reality .

It's cool how they added trumpets to the brakes on their bikes 🎺

Insane! Just OMG, thanks for sharing!

90% of that looked amazing fun, the 10% is what would stop me doing it. Absolutely terrifying.

7:10 DAMN, dude! 🤯🤯

Very daring! I definitely wouldn't try this unless I was very experienced at mountain biking.

Riding on a hiking trail looks pretty mental. Rad bro!

Thumbs WAY UP!! I was so terrified during that one part. You guys had an INSANE RIDE ♥♥♥♥♥

I usually walk these tracks by foot. You are crazy for doing them on bike. Mad respect for having the skills and confidence to actually do it.

I skied that same mountain 26 years ago and thought it tough enough. I can't even imagine going down it on a mountain bike!

@9:52 he's more concerned about claustrophobia than actually hurtling off a 500 meter cliffside. Go figure.

Brother, you absolutely crushed it! Amazing footage to share the experience!
