A daredevil motorbike rider's incredible feat of bravery has taken the internet by storm after footage of him riding along a tiny mountain ridge became world famous.
The rider, identified as Gorpo McMahan, made the film on the foothills of the Bookliff mountain range just outside the town of Grand Junction, Colorado.
The astonishing film shows the rider speeding over snow and ice and showing no fear of the vertiginous drops either side of him despite the fact that he was inches from death all the way along. We warn you now, you may wish to strap yourself into your armchair before watching this one...

    Clearly you don't ride a motorcycle. You can only turn the wheel at extremely low speeds.

  • That's one cool fish eye lens illusion. Nicely done.

  • oh my god how can you do that

  • ok the fish eye lens makes it look more dangerous than it actually is, but he's an idiot all the same

  • Seen a lot of comments regarding this video on other sites and I can tell you for sure it is real. Placing the cam on your helmet give much lesson movement unless you are looking all around you. The fact that the rider in concentrating on what is in front that is the reason why footage is not all over the place. If he were on a push bike that footage would be really jumpy and his body would have much more movement.

  • @wolftoy1 It's most definitely real, the trail itself isn't as steep as it looks, it just looks that way through a fish eye lens.

  • I shoot and edit lot of video and I can say for sure it's real! You can see the flat ridge that he is riding, but the lens makes it look like a drop off on both sides and he bounces with the terrain properly, not keyed or super-imposed. I wouldn't do it!

  • The front wheel does not appear to be turning, and after several viewings, I think it is a set-up

  • So fake its giving me douche chills just watching...yuk

  • Look closely and you will notice that the front tire is never touching the ground or even spinning in a forward direction. Didn't even get dirt on the front tire. YOU BE THE JUDGE ! I HAVE MY DOUBT'S.
