Death-defying motorbike ride on a mountain top

By: William Goodman
Topics: FAIL!

(CBS) - I'm not sure why, but we haven't had an extreme sports video up on The Feed in a little while. And what could say extreme more than driving a motorbike on top of a mountain, I ask you?

Okay, is it just me or does that look like a death wish just waiting to happen? Don't get me wrong - major props and respect go out to the driver for managing to pull it off, but there were some moments where "close call" would be an understatement (especially with ice involved). What were your thoughts about it? Leave me some comment love below.

by HRPuffinstuff January 25, 2012 12:11 PM EST: Death defying? With that wide of a path to follow? And he almost comes to a stop as he crests each peak, until he can see what's ahead. Heck, I'd do that one on my Harley!; Reply to this comment

by RogerInHawaii January 23, 2012 5:41 PM EST: Stupid, but not so sure it's death-defying. While he's definitely on a very narrow ridge and it looks fairly steep on each side, it doesn't look like he's actually very high up, maybe a hundred feet of sliding downhill if he slips.; Reply to this comment


by 87lwrdr January 23, 2012 4:49 PM EST: There is no snow or any dirt visible on the side of the front tire when you see it and I don't care how good a "helmet cam" is fixed there would have to be some movement with all the bouncing around he's doing. Nice try but still a bad fake.; Reply to this comment


by tails67 January 23, 2012 4:08 PM EST: I've watched many off road motorbike videos. Not fake, looks like hundreds of other helmet mounted camera videos, except the location. tire studs are widely used to allow riders to ride in winter conditions. The rider is smooth & committed.; Reply to this comment
