Please don’t try this at home. Or anywhere.
Even daredevil Michal Kollbek, the mountain biker in the above video, called the ride “one of the scariest things I have done on a bike”: riding along the near-vertical “White Line” in Sedona, Arizona.
“It looks like a flat surface — that is, the wrong kind of flat surface that’s next to you like a wall and not under you like the road — he’s riding on and him not slipping down the steep slide is totally defying the laws of gravity,” wrote Sploid’s Casey Chan.
Kollbeck’s epic ride was captured by Marshall Mullen’s drone — no other human was crazy enough to get close — and is now going viral.
Can’t tell just how scary the ride is? Here’s a first-person perspective of the ride, shot in 2011:

We’re just relieved these scary videos don’t end with crashes, like this one of a biker attempting a 68-foot jump:
