Perfect 7 minute escape from a rather dull day at work. Place is gorgeous. Thank you!

Edit: This song is awesome as well.

OK, this has got me thinking - probably time for a new 14er category/record - first person to bike down all 14ers?

Can't in wilderness. Only a few peaks where this would even be possible.

Scrambling a narrow ridge with a bike... sends shivers down my spine. Let alone the other tricks in this video. Yikes! :shock:

Thanks Doug! Very entertaining. I especially like the front flip at minute 6:10.

This erstwhile seafarer and river rafter had the same reaction. But the current peak bagger was quite inspired by trail he was on and the Isle of Skye in general. Was anyone else reminded of the Crestones?
