    the whole bridge looks a bit sketchy to me, especially playing limbo under the arch support

    thats crazy, I think i would have looked for another way to cross, but i dont know.
    That bridge would be creepy walking across never mind a couple hundred extra pounds of bike.

    I'd be impressed if he did a wheelie all the way across while flipping the bird to those stupid people!

    seriously though, I would have found another way around. I don't have balls that big.

    Re: Adventure riding

    A fall could have easily been a drowning. At the very least a total loss of bike and gear. Sketchy. Would I have done it? maybe. If the bridge had wobbled, he was done for. It looked fairly stable as far as rocking back and forth.

    nah, brah. Too sketchy. If I were there I'd probably do it, but I wouldn't be crazy about it.
    That stuff just doesn't give me a semi. I'd rather jump a set.

    Re: Adventure riding

    Too narrow and it would tip the bridge to one side... Easy to lose the bike.

    Re: Adventure riding

    I thought the load was going to lower the bridge into the current

    Know when to run.

    Re: Adventure riding

    I don't think the video shows how much that bridge was swaying.


    Combine that with wet/slippery wood and it was definitely a pucker factor of 10!

    How about the kid toward the end who sneaks around the bike, after watching him slowly crossing.
