    I used to do stuff like that till I wrapped a Raven (Cannondale) round a tree 12ft in the air. God knows how I managed to survive without breaking anything bu tthe bike was a write off. Who said CF could stand up to that sort of thing was nuts!!!!! Oh yes and spinnergy wheels really are pants as I have broken quite a few of those too!!!!!

      F Off! My toes are curling and I've got cramp in the soles of my feet just looking

      That looks like Ireland, Cliffs of Mohar? I've layed on the ground with my nose over the edge there, that was bad enough.

        It's not the height, it's not the falling...

        It's just the sudden stop at the end that worries me!!!

        and then the bike lands on top of you also...

          after the sudden stop at the bottom, I don't think the bike hitting you would bother you too much.

          I would be happy to walk along there but cycle, Im think not.

              Me too and I'm not frightened by heights. Just one mistake and >>> Arrggggggggggggggg......

              I could stand and happily look over the edge and not be scared, but would deffo have to make sure my missus wasn't behind me first
              But to ride a bike round there? Not a chance.

                you wouldn't get me anywhere near that mountain biking has never been my strong point i went out with me mate once tried to jump over a small gap at speed ,front wheel dropped in the gap and i took to the air landed on me head and scratched me head and back to peices. didn't wear my crash hat that week. anyway next week went out again with me crash hat on this time but went over the handle bars and broke both elbows,
                never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed

                  Kinda have to hope that those backpacks they're wearing are actually parachutes - just in case...
