MTBR doesn't like people hotlinking to attachment images, so they configure them to not be able to.

Man, I'm already a bit freaked on any exposure. That's just insane.

I've rode some pretty insane exposure, but nothing compared to that.

yeah that was actually me and a buddy on our trip to Ireland last week. We just came from the Guiness brewery. That would be me on the wheelie!

I kind of enjoy a little exposure, but wow!
That'd be a big penalty for a mistake.

Because it is there and it is beautiful. I would go out there it looks solid and wide. I would like to see more to tell if it is actually a ride of just a shelf they possed on.

I would not ride that section that you see the ocean below.

This would definitely be a 10 on the pucker factor scale.

There used to be a mountain bike show that was on for a half hour at a time on FSN.
They had some footage of Hans at his Laguna house.
He started trialing with his bike. Hopped from his second or third floor bedroom to the balcony, from the balcony to the balcony rail, and then from there to the roof and then the chimney.
There was probably a 60-80 foot drop into a ravine off the side of the house. Still one of the ballsiest bits of riding I have ever seen.
