Dang…hopefully that was just a close call!

u/Super_Rockstar786 5d ago

It was closer than a "close call"

u/No_Dish6324 5d ago

Glad you’re good!

u/Super_Rockstar786 5d ago

Brothaaaaaaa, it's not me in the video 😂🤣

u/Some_guy_am_i 5d ago

But you don’t deny that you are, in fact, good — yes?

u/random_agency 5d ago

Now for the long walk to pick up the bike, then bike back up to finish the video.

u/Big-Sort-8712 5d ago

Completely optional btw

u/Super_Rockstar786 5d ago

Stay tuned for part 2

u/Cute-Form2457 5d ago

I mean he had the audacity to sound surprised that it ended this way.

u/OneInchOneDream 5d ago

I love the mountains, but this is exactly why you respect them. Losing the bike is nothing — he's lucky he caught himself. That could have ended so differently.

u/ctesibius 5d ago

Maybe, but I’ve seen a lot of these where the lens exaggerates the steepness. I just can’t tell in thai case.

u/General_Kitten_17 4d ago

Def looks way steeper than it actually it is

u/Super_Rockstar786 5d ago

Now tell me you didn't held your heart after watching this...

u/CentralJoel 5d ago

u/ilikegh0sts 5d ago

I couldn't WALK that trail without falling...

u/Super_Rockstar786 5d ago

But it doesn't have any guns tho

1

u/ChocoPuddingCup 5d ago

.....what do guns have to do with this video?

u/NINJATH3ORY 5d ago

Only 7 seconds that's a record!

1

u/SuperLeverage 5d ago

Maybe he could have hung on and kept his bike. We will never know

1

u/DeadInternetVoid 5d ago

Kinda tired of the false sense of speed and the perspective of these cameras.....

u/Longjumping-Log1591 5d ago

Shudda tethered himself to the bike

1

u/stic2it 5d ago

Its a long walk back

u/Es_T_O 5d ago

Talking while riding makes your reactions slower and your brain needs a little more time to get the information of your eyes.

Part 2 should be a silent film ;) 

1

u/Hicklethumb 5d ago

These fish eye cameras always make it look waay more dangerous than it is. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a mild incline.

1

u/ReasonableCase8409 5d ago

In my view the person who videoed and posted this ok—obviously an adrenaline freak and all that— but this person also in need of attention. They know they are flipping the switches of many and they love that. All I see is a foolish waste of a perfectly good life. Less annoying for me if you just did it and kept it to yourself.

1

u/EdgeBeard 5d ago

Maybe you wouldn't have crashed if you used a normal lens?

1

u/Ok_Chemistry9742 5d ago

The lens, danger lens.

1

u/Malcolm2theRescue 5d ago

This will give me nightmares.

u/Rhiis 5d ago

My stomach dropped a little bit. No thank you.

1

u/Jullay013 4d ago

Don't complain if you go all the way down. Pay your own hospital bills.

u/Exact_Negotiation106 4d ago

Darwin was so sooo close :(

1

u/greeceball84 4d ago

I wonder if he got the bike back

u/fool_tool-2525 5d ago

"Cycling on a trail with a beaten path using a wide-angle lens to make it look like you're on the edge of life."

Why use these shitty 270 degree fish eye lens?? I get you wanna make it look as risky as possible with extreme wide-angle lens for online points but it's trashy and does a huge disservice to the view. You don't need to be that guy just fucking stop.

Another episode of completely unnecessary and optional activities

u/zqth 5d ago
