Maybe the Most Insane Trail Ride Ever... Hot

I have come across a video that is simply too amazing not to share with the readers of AAB.  Now, I consider myself a pretty accomplished trail rider – after all, I’ve been doing it for over 3 decades. However, there are things in this trail ride that made me pucker just watching my computer screen.

Let me set the scene – we have a single-track trail that is much more suitable for mountain goats than people. Hell, I think some mountain goats would think twice. Anyway, what you’ll see is two amazing trail riders doing the insane. From what I can tell, the riders are German. One seems to be on a KTM and the other may be on a Honda XR. 

I was so intrigued that I did a little research on the region. Ligurische Grenzkammstrasse contains a system of roads and trails along the Italian/French border. The system was carved primarily for the World Wars, so maintenance has been sporadic since the 1940s. It is now a popular area for extreme enduro riders and mountain bikers. Here is a little map of the area:

Well, enough with the history and geography lesson. Take a look at the 6 minute ride through the lens of a helmet mounted camera. It will be worth your time.
