There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I could ever do that - it was difficult enough to watch the video.

Now I know that flinging a bike hard into bends is probably potentially just as dangerous - but some things are inside your comfort zone and some are so far from it, they might as well be on another planet.

There is just no way I would do that. Not even for the money those guys must be on. :smt107

Man that is insane, I like how he wasn't holding on right at the top whilst he sorted out his rigging.

I don't think I'd mind the climb up, but it's the coming down again part that I'd brick it. There's a couple of old railway bridges around here I used to climb up as a kid.. Some quite high. Those rope climbing frame things were also not much of a bother.. But when it came to getting down again.. That was the hair raising bit..lol.

Totally different world's. Doubt I'd be able to do it now though. Not many that would be able to support my mass :smt003

awesome video

and no need to be afraid of heights - its only the last inch that hurts in a fall....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
