These German trail bikers are taking a huge risk riding on this narrow trail on the side of a mountain. I think the saying is “balls of steel”?

    Plenty of mtb tracks around NZ like this with a subtle difference – amazing the false sense of security a few gorse bushes on the outside of the track can provide!

    Mind boggling. I’ll stick these days to driving an aged Volvo around the streets and highways

    some of that is quite hairy, but I have probably ridden worse trails in NZ. Tongariro National park has some pretty hairy trails

    The best part is where they ask each other if there is a way back down:-) – and decide to go on and find out anyway as there is not enough space to turn the bikes – must love that part of the world:-)
