This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!

Note - for websites linking the video, please note that my name is David Ellis (the J is my middle initial).
WARNING - I have ridden almost 900 roller coasters around the world and am highly experienced with on-ride filming...so don't try to copy this. Coasters are fun, but taking risks could be dangerous. So always ride safely and abide by the operator's instructions and ride rules!

@TJCavaliero - There are a few photos of the cars on the off-ride footage on my site. Glad you liked the video.

Maybe if I really, Really wanted to get down that mountain..
Aw what the heck, I'd do it without a reason to.
Was the ride bumpy? It seemed that at the corners there was a lot of shuddering.
