Nope! I just don’t trust myself, my skills, and random stuff from ruining my life on a trail like the one posted!

I don’t like edges either. Don’t have a problem with heights, as long as there’s something separating me from me and free falling.

no problem.

This

not so much.

I would love to do that trail... some of the near-cliff-edge parts... not so much. But the rest of it looks amazing. Where is that? We have only little bits and pieces of terrain like that here in New Hampshire.

Moab, its called the magnificent 7 (or rather when you do 7 trails that link up it is). Thats the plan tomorrow, I’ve done 5 of the 7, but never all 7

Which trail is that? My only time biking in Moab I did part of mag 7 and captain ahab. Those edges would scare the hell out of me though. I was down there the other weekend climbing and couldn’t top out of a climb called ancient art because I was shaking and refused to stand up. Here is ancient art, above because mobile kinja, you climb to the top of that spiral tower

I know that climb, never done it though. Yeah this is the last part of mag7, the portal.

Awesome! My buddy I went down with to bike had never done the portal and just heard that it was long and tricky

Yeah, couldn’t watch the whole video, sweaty palms, anxiety. Don’t be #4.

The technical nature of it doesn’t bother me, its the exposure. The consequence of failure in many of those locations is death. But these guys are ridding really fast and are obsiviouly expert and beyond riders, which I am not.
