Riding the White Line-Bicycle Video-OMG

I just came across this. I did a search to see if anyone else had posted it and nothing was listed.

If you are a daredevil, and you think you are crazy, here is a guy that is really crazy!!! :29 seconds and a few seconds after was a little gut wrenching. Enjoy!

It's a good thing he's wearing his helmet or something bad might have happened.

I wonder who thought that would be a good idea.

1. Why
2. Helmet won't help much if he goes down
3. They need a quieter drone.

I think it was sarcasm but hey.. Even the kamakazi pilots wore helmets on their missions.. It couldent hurt right?

I have an old aquaduct i ride occasionally by my place with steep banks i have to hug during sections, this video reminds me of that a little but the view down would be a mind trick for sure..

Would love to see helmet cam footage.
