Crazy, crazy!
You have got to be joking! Pics from:

Sorry, here:

This is some place in Ireland (where else) called The Cliffs of Moher. Dunno who this Victor Lucas is who took the pics, but you've gotta hand it to him for these shots!

That is about the most stupid/amazing thing I've seen ever, that has to be photo-shopped, one wrong move or gust of wind and you're a goner! Any graphics experts care to opine one way or t'other?
That may seem brave to some people, but to me that just seems stupid. It must be nice for those fella's to risk their lives so easily, but it does not prove much except a lack of brain cells. There are easier and safer ways to get one's adrenaline rush. Can you fit a parachute in a Camelbak?
Actually, you have to laugh... when one notes these guys bothered to wear a helmet. Like, how is that going to save them in a 200m fall?
hehe full on, i'd be a bit shit-scared just walking around there!
Scary and stupid yes, but the two riders are Hans Rey and Steve Peat, so I think that kind of says it all...
is that hans? full-on...hehe if i could be like hans
i saw him ride along the edge of the golden gate bridge some time back...crazy bastard!
the cliffs they are riding are only in the forground of the picture... none in the background... so, where did they come from? Hans rey or not, i dont think he can fly lol... very clever photoshop if you ask me...
It's a pity how the growth of things like photoshop has killed the ability for some jaded individuals to be awe inspired and overwhelmed by the true freakish skill and incredible feats that the human being is capable of...
Check the article, and make sure to check on the slide show link at the end.

of NSMB.com The place I go to dream.
i belive its real after seeing the article, i just dont belive how bloody stupid u would have to be to do that lol...
cocaines a hell of a drug... lol
People do all sorts of crazy things to get their adrenaline rush. There is that Frenchman (whatever his name is) who is a rock climber. And he is famous for scaling city buildings using no safety gear. Totally crazy! Like, 50 stories high.
But when you're good enough, you control the risks with your talent and skill. You recognise the risks better, and deal with them accordingly. Plus, years of practice helps too
Ah... some video of this trip has popped up on the GT Bikes site:

[ There's an annoying cookie thing... select 'Australia' then hit the link again, select again, then hopefully you'll get the vid the third attempt! ]
Part with the Cliffs is about half way through, madness. And some of the rocks they hit toward the end look to be taken very skilfully.
