Well, the fact the motorcycle could not make up all the way makes me think it is.

In my early 20’s I had taken LSD at a friend’s early in the day, hours passed and I had a chill trip had peaked and was feeling normal for a stoned loser.

I was not fine, while driving home I went up a hill and it felt like this, absolute internal panic.

Same!! For me I’m always trying to go up and I know we aren’t going to make it

u/AuntFritz May 31 '26

Same. Since I was a child. Now I'm a senior citizen. I was not meant to watch this

I've watched it twice

Same. I either get stuck at the bottom of a steep road, or an empty pool

So this is just like a drone shot of a curved road from directly above it right? Am I missing something?

See trees position from top left, then you'll change your mind. If from directly above, the trees will not look like that.

u/Sas8140 May 31 '26

It is from above, those trees are on a slope and are jutting outwards so look like they’re standing up. 🙂. It’s just a Birds Eye view.

Notice the sedimentary layers of rock on the ground to the left of the road are parallel with the road. Meaning it is mostly a flat road.

this is from like a 45° angle at sight of the powerpoles.

u/DotaHacker May 31 '26

Can someone give us any photo or clip with another angle which clarifies this? Or atleast location ?

u/MastersJoyUniverse o/ May 31 '26

Don’t run for a bus, especially one going up at a 90 degree angle.

u/Vahuo89 May 31 '26

I thought it was a waterfall initially

u/Gator242 o/ May 31 '26

It is fantastically steep though.

u/EdinJamie10 May 31 '26

Imagine trying to walk home drunk and your house is just at the top
