Would you ride this trail section?

[jeanmarc]

Nope. I didn't buy an expensive e-mtb to have it damaged on something like this.

Tbh, I didn’t spend a lot of time on my iPad looking at it…. But is it even real? Looks “CGI ish”.

I think it's fake. Nobody can identify the location and I agree with you it looks like CGI.

I would tend to agree with you.There is virtually no movement on the sea and the white breakers seem static.
Happy to apologise if I am wrong but the drop doesn’t look right.

It looks like the riders know the trail and are used to riding in areas beyond wide open spaces and across farmers fields but I doubt it is anymore difficult than many of the trails in Moab like
and definitely not as intimidating as this....

 

[phlodge]

I wouldnt even walk it ..

I would ride it, but at a snail's pace
I have ridden the Portal trail in Moab and that was over-the-top. I think the ride back down the Poison Spider Mesa trail would have been way more fun with all of the rock-rolls and drops.

Nope it's real enough. It's Brendan Fairclough & Olly Wilkins riding in Madeira. No idea why you said no one can identify the location when non one in the thread has actually asked where it is.

30 seconds on his insta and….

Yup you are right
It’s really not hard to find. The camera angle makes it look weird, but defo real

And looking at ‘normal’ photos.
Yeah I’d ride it. Badly. But I’d ride it

For someone not at all familiar with this location it would be normal to quote my post and indicate the location. None of those posts name the location except one with a question mark. Regardless, it looks like an insane ride. The video had some weird resolution to it that almost made it look fake.

Sometimes I ride stuff with a lot of exposure.
Sometimes I walk.
There's no shame in walking.
Everyone walks sometimes.

No cowboy, something normal would be not to dismiss something as fake in the absence of knowledge simply because your skill levels can't conceive of it.

Personal attacks....nice. Have a nice day!

To be fair, that Madeira trail cant be any more dangerous than riding in London…

 

[Doomanic]

To be fair, that Madeira trail cant be any more dangerous than locking your bike up in London…

FTFY

Actually I don't think it looks that bad. Wide angle makes it look worse than it is.
I wouldn't do it the speed they did, but most of it looks quite rideable.
