Snowy Gorpy Ridge Video

I have posted this in other threads but I thought Id share it with everyone.
My friend Chris is riding in Grand Junction last December on one of the skinny ridges after a snow storm.
He has spiked tires.
It is the only example of a go pro making footage look worse that I have seen.

enjoy

Holy Crap! I would be scared to death riding that without the snow!

I'd be nervous walking parts of it !!:eek1:eek1

All I can say is WOW! :eek1 The whole time I was trying to figure out just how far the bottom was and if you went off the trail would you stop before you tumbled to base.

crazy.....but very nice

Nice bit of video. You need some big balls, a good sense of balance and a total lack of agoraphobia to ride that I think.

I didn't know I could hold my breath for 1 minute 28 seconds. Dang.

Its funny. This is getting played all over the web. Other people are doubting if its real...

It is.

The lens exaggerates the edge significantly, still an impressive feat.

seems strange you dont ever see snow flyin away frm the front wheel

The bike is moving all over the place but his head never moves? I smell something!

Its go pro footage. Hes standing.

The only thing to smell is his oily exhaust.

Here is another report on ADV about the area posted 8 years ago!
Neduro dug this up on another thread.

I think the snow and moisture may have made the traction better.

Wild!! Theres a video of about 6 KTMs, and TT600Rs who ride a ledge in a deep woods and never fall off. 1,000 feet drop on one side. Just like this video, WILD!!!:eek1:eek1:eek1:huh

Fake. Helmet never moved.

bullshit.

my helmet never moves in my videos, ´cause the cam is fixed to the helmet...

If the camera is fixed to the helmet it will move with the helmet, giving the impression that the helmet is still, in fact it is moving about all over the place - as you can see from the constantly shifting shadows and highlights on the helmet.

man.....
what a thread
it's as if so few folks even know what a video made with a HELMET CAM looks like...

of course it's real
this guy has big balls.... love the video

a great video
a great thread
i cannot believe how some thought this wasn't real

I can EASILY believe it's fake. I have two helmet cams, a contour and a vio. Even though the cameras are attached to my helmet, you can still watch the helmet rise and fall (and vibrate) according to the rock and rubble underneath the tires. The camera in this footage is too static to believe it was actual footage. Some top quality camera guys can maintain a very steady head with helmet cam footage, but given he's riding on ridge rubble I just don't see it. If the dude wants to settle the debate, why not do the ride again with a helmet cam and another camera getting a shot from the finish point as he rides toward the cameraman. Very simple to do and then the debate ends. Put me in the HIGHLY DOUBTFUL Category.

Thanks for sharing your inability to use an apostrophe and the obviously fake video
which had already been posted more than enough times elsewhere.

What's next, are you going to share photos of your welfare check ?

Wrong.

The helmet in this video did not move at all despite the movement of the bike
and rider. Are we supposed to believe that the rider's head and helmet are
somehow completely disconnected from the rider's body , which is itself
connected to the bike ? If that is the case, what we have here is far more interesting
than the video itself. Of course the truth is that the video is a composite of several
videos, and an obvious one at that.
