Furka Pass (east) - Switzerland raw runs [#3]

Рік тому

A cycling experience that will never be forgotten by either Taylor or myself. We showed up to the Furka Pass expecting to ride the more popular western side but the sunlight on the east facing side lured us over. Hear more about the ride with commentary here: • The World's Most Beaut...

Just the sound of the gear shifting is so satisfying.

I love these videos... No boring commentary, no obnoxious background music, no fancy graphics. Cycling and UKposts in its purest form. This is what YT was for back in the day.

It's pointless to say don't try this at home so I'll just say to every cyclist who watches this: learn what "target fixation" is and how to avoid it. These two (and all pros) are masters of not fixating on dangers in the road (especially oncoming cars) and finding the safe line in those situations. Good life advice too.

@roadglide Рік тому

You mitigate dangers as best you can. Tire blow outs, carbon failures, animals , anomalies, etc. When it’s your time. It’s your time. Peace

@patrick_3723 Рік тому

Good shout, can still remember being coached in my XC days into not looking where you don't want to.. Still think about it now on any techy or sketchy riding

@SingaporeUntold Рік тому

@@roadglide exactly this. There are times where things happen unexpected. Just last week i went around a blind bend and a truck was there taking over the whole path. Lucky there is a grass to go onto. My fault. If I can’t see ahead then i shouldn’t assume empty. My bike crash last year was an equipment failure and I flew off the bike, snapped the collar bone. Hell when i see the cliff in this vid, I’m tempt to fly off mentally so I don’t have to hear my wife’s nagging anymore 😂😂😂

5:10 This is insane to make that overcom in the corner, (at almost 70km.h) These boys are risking their lives with these descents in tight turns.There is a saying, once it works, the second time, it works, but the third time, it can just go, and at such speeds, no one saves you, if some car was comming from the opposite direction it will be AMEN AND GO TO HEAVEN.

Yep. It happened to me in 1998. Last year I was finally able to drive downhill again... you are right, a car or anything comes, you are not able to stop. It didn't worth it. I was young, too brave... I lost so many years, and missed cycling. Be sure you are able stop in any circumstances

@glpxt 9 місяців тому

They can risk their own lives as much as they like. But at 12:28 they are risking other peoples lives. There is usually a reason why there is a 30 km/h speed limit in a village. But who cares, they blast through the village full speed, respect is for wimps. Reckless, not funny. And what for? Less than 10 Seconds later they finish their run anyway. Plain stupid.

I did this yesterday and GrimselPass the day before, both are utterly magnificent and just enormous to the eye. The peaks still have snow on them right now and my god is it something to behold, I stopped to take it all in and it is incomprehensible to the mind. Man its hard to not look at them when youre descending but I tell ya if you look for 2-3 secs too long youre a goner

just drove a very similar style but very short one yesterday, so let me tell you about fear. There is no fear, there is just pure joy and euphoria. You are so high on emotions and so focused on the bike that it becomes your limb extension. There is an enormous control over the bike so most of the situations are pretty safe. The rest is beyond your influence anyway

I did this descent last year. That lack of barriers. You’d fly and drop HUNDREDS of feet if you missed a hairpin. Have you done the Gavia to Ponte di Legno descent? If you like danger, that’s for you. Single track. No barriers, huge drops. Very easy to die on. I followed a couple of motorbikes down, so was well in control. Only felt scared later when I remembered it!

I understand the need and effect of throwing a knee out in the direction of turn, to reduce wind drag, sit on the seat. Place your knees together point toes forward with heels in. Hands under the handle bar head tucked down. I used a mirror over the front wheel I could see the road from. Hairpins I would begin early from the very outside to the center the to the outside mimicing the outer edge of the road.
