Went on a trip to Moab this past week with Danno04. This is the vid from when we rode portal trail. Danno04 is wearing the go-pro.

...balls of steel men. I would walk the death section. The 3rd guy who died there caught his crank on a rock and went over....400 feet over.:crazycobasa:

That is one hairy freakin' trail that I don't think I'll be doing again anytime soon.

Nice video Brock and Dan. Looks like you guys are riding new bikes since the last time that we rode together. Everytime that I have ridden the Portal trail, I have never seen anyone else on the trail at the same time. One thing for sure is that Moab tests your bike skills and pushes the limits. The Portal is definitely the most dangerous in terms of cliff exposure riding. You guys should try coming down Pritchett canyon. I didn't like riding Behind the rocks trail to Prichett, but once we arrived at Pritchett for the downhill, the drops and technical riding never stopped. Danno your riding skills have improved drastically, I bet that you would be a lot more confident in racing downhill now. Nice skills boys.

The more suspension the better on that trail. It'll wear ya down by the end as your buddy found out. Lucky it was just a tip over.

Cool video! :stud:
