The Death Road

[raidereddie]

Nice ride, but what's the big deal?

[jugyta]

its called death road because the road is a 2-way street pretty much. so imagine trying to fit in 2 cars, one coming from th north and the other from the south in such a thin lane. Its dangerous and its so up high in the mountains...but yeah biking is just an exhilarating experience because u can reach high speeds and the landscape is beautiful :D

[MrBluewaffles]

front wheel comes off....... fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[ziurke666]

Pussies, take a gun and go fight. This trip can be done by 70y grandmas.

[824212345]

all depents off you,of it is dangerous.

[timwaagh]

[skiba13]

porque estão correndo de colete salva-vidas? bando de idiota.

[matt20092]

I think death road is a little overdramatic. Thx for the upload though. :)

[chiselhead73]

[aventneo]

[Racerjames666]

@aventneo If I get a Santa Cruz v10 to use...you're on buddy ; )

[SnipeSnipe180]

HIM!!!!!!

[boils]

good show guys. did it myself in 2003.

[telefoontasje]

Start: 4000m (13,000ft) End: 1300m (3500ft) Length: ~70km (~45 miles)‬

*~200 deaths each yr

*every 2 wks an accident

*acc's involve planes, trucks, cars, bicycle tourists, but especially: busses.

Crops, fruits, etc. from the jungle go up to La Paz. Therefor climbing traffic = mountain side, descending traffic = valley side. In case of accident, the vehicle and driver are lost, not the crops/fruits/etc...

Now a new road is for descending traffic, old road for climbing traffic.

[halotwomaster]

try go back up now

[seagreensky]

Yawn. Pretty much so what. L.A. city streets are much more dangerous.

[0662801811]

wtf is so scary about the road?

[CoIorado]

fuck i've been on the road before. in a van. Hell it was scary.

[Ampuhaukka]

Song in the video: HIM - Poison Girl.

[adecode0]

what if I ever get the fuel deposit empty on that curve?

[hi0hi]

What's the name of the song???

Great vid btw 5/5

[ezmoneydogg]

this song good

[TSOCD]

that is so funny they are wearing the exact same helmet i have haha

[mib33houtx]

at least make it a race for money so it becomes a dangerous competition . and step it up to dirt bikes next time better for the camera and its audience

[STRIKER520]

Go back up the mountain that would be the death part on the bike.

[telefoontasje]

It gets even better with 35 kilos camping equipment. And then even better with 10m visibility due to the misty and rainy circumstances....!

I like recognizing the road somewhere between about 2:15 and 2:20. I have a photo from that curve. Later I made a photo of 2 cars and 1 truck on a narrow part where one can never pass the other.

All in all, it is a great downhill. But the road ahead to Rurrenabaque is at least as interesting to cycle!

[iamcora1]

In '96 I passed up the chance of a lifetime to go on cycling on the Yungas--I was 24, and very afraid, and opted to stay in LaPaz for the two weeks there. I have heard all of the horror stories since I was a small child.

My question is: Does the road have ANY safe havens or towns or rest-stops along the way, or is it a continual heart-stopping ride the entire 35 miles downhill into Coroico?

[telefoontasje]

From the pass it's a little downhill until a village. If you go straight on, you'll be on the new road on the left side of the valley.

Turn right at that village. From there it's until halfway that you'll see houses again. The only 2 until all the way down.

Lots of curves, the cars using horns. It's possible to pass a lot of times, a lot of times it's not.

I've seen trucks pausing on 'safe heavens', drivers sleeping in the shadow under the truck.

At the end, it's 2/300m up again to Coroico...

[iamcora1]

It sounds like hell...( I'm keeping it real)--but it's one of the few (thrills) that I would like to experience before I leave this earth (hopefully my death won't be on the Yungas--lol!!)

But the altitude didn't affect me and another girl on the trip. There were 8 of us and everyone else needed to make an adjustment---lol!!! (That was strange--lol!!!)

[lordofthelefthand777]

Big fucking deal! Get in a mosh pit with me prig!

[kevinrojas0451]

[crazeedj]

wierd...still , so gay :))

[Neniatnarap]

That was fucking awesome. I wish i could try that. Very cool!

[MmMmmBtch]

There was a documentary about this road on discovery channel, I think it was, and they mentioned a man who was on a bus, it lost control and tumbled down the side of the mountain. It killed everyone on the bus except for him, including his wife. His son, it was unconfirmed bc the body was never recovered. Once he got out of the hosital he got on another bus to go back to the crash site to look for his son. The same thing happened. He's now considered cursed amongst the other citizens.

[aclay81]

Call me when you've biked UP that road. Then I'll be impressed. But still not that much.

[seahog32]

pedaling UP that road would be actually very impressive especially at the elevations over 3000 m...i'm doing 80+ K on my road bike regularly on much shorter descents and don't find it extraordinarily thrilling, even less so must be 90 K on those fat tires

[scoobydog123]

waste of time watching that

[LinksUncle]

imagine to loose your front tire while you where in 90km/h down that hill!

then your seriousely dead!

[shanklet]

[JinaFoxDemon]

[suuntavaisto0]

i think you need to get a fucking life because they're nothing like emo.

[shmaveyea]

Emo whiny pusses

[FIXTREME]

I traveled on a road similar to this when I was living in Tiraque when I was younger. My 80 year old grandfather would be driving his 20 year old jeep all the way near the end of the cliff while drunk. It was something else. I remember the first time when we turned, I was like "AY VIRGENITA SAVE ME" & he almost drove off the cliff. Que puta that was some good memories R.I.P abuelito

[pinkkitten11]

aint old people great :D

[luv2score3511]

[binibirotsa]

[zhoushasha]

wonderful trip.

[mjsankar]

THAT SUCKS

[banndersnatch]

weird video

[lokojoe]

I give you guys great kudos for riding on one of the world's most dangerous roads!! What these ignorant fucks are not aware of is how narrow that road really gets, and the treacherous terrain that surrounds it. Think of an unpredictable season of mudslides.Think of curves so narrow and sharp that with a simple look out of the passenger's window, you will directly be looking at a precipice hundred of meters steep. Most of these fagets wouldn't even drive this road in the safest of vehicles.

[koolkyle145623]

wat kind and model is that bike at 47 sec

[grr8hound]

ya people on bicycles..now thats hard core man! fucking NOT! god i hate people on bikes..get a damn car like everyone else..you hold up traffic and cause accidents!
