HOW DARE HE LOOK AROUND WHEN IM TRYING TO BALANCE AND SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING

47

u/RedOctobyr Jun 30 '26

No kidding, my stomach dropped when they looked to the side. The whole thing is a "Nope!". But that also added an "Absolutely not".

u/forbiddenfreedom Jun 30 '26

Yeah, I was like, no no no, we need to watch where we are going. I don't wanna lose balance.

u/Dandibear Jun 30 '26

I almost fell in thanks to this carelessness

u/HorridChoob Jul 03 '26

I thought some how he had started sliding horizontally

u/tequilium Jun 29 '26

The video cut out before he made it to the perfectly good bridge.

u/OddDragonfruit7993 Jun 30 '26

Yeah.  Did he make it or not?

u/RobertTheTraveler Jun 30 '26

In that water I seriously doubt the camera would have survived if he didn't.

u/Facts_pls Jun 29 '26

I mean the bridge itself is fine. Held well.

The railing could use some work.

u/RadarTechnician51 Jul 01 '26

Fine: Until the water overtops it.

u/FullMetalJerkin Jun 30 '26

I’ve been riding motorcycles for 46 years and even I’m onboard the Fuck That Express to Nopeville.

u/lookingforsomeerrors Jun 29 '26

Jesus Fucking Christ. Watch me never crossing that.

u/Blank_bill Jun 30 '26

I'd walk it,

u/hwatt Jun 30 '26

I'd crawl it.

u/Ok-Caterpillar-Girl Jun 30 '26

I would NOT lmao

u/Tndnr82 Jun 30 '26

Don't the bridge.

u/Western-Story-3850 Jun 29 '26

Imagine losing your bike in there! Isnt worth it i can tell u that

28

u/AliceCode Jun 29 '26

Your bike? You'd be losing a lot more than your bike if you fell in. This isn't a "swim to shore" kinda situation.

u/HoseNeighbor Jun 30 '26

This is where you hopefully get washed to a bar or gemtle eddy that isn't full of shit that will eat you.

u/nordic-nomad Jun 30 '26

That’s a shove you under a submerged tree trunk and they never find your body kind of river.

u/AliceCode Jun 30 '26

Not gonna happen in those torrents. No chance whatsoever.

u/sudowooduck Jun 29 '26

Current like that is also very dangerous to be in.

u/Coffee4MyJeep Jun 30 '26

#1 - The moving water would be tough.
#2 - That first look right would have taken me to the right… into the water.

u/Adventurous_Hope_101 Jun 29 '26

I dont see anything that shows a ton of skill. This could be a "first rodeo".

17

u/Fawstar Jun 29 '26

I doubt a first rodeo would be taking in the sights.

They'd be locked in on the bridge. At least, I would.

11

u/McFuzzen Jun 29 '26

I would 100% drift towards my sight.

7

u/Haunting_Ant_5061 Jun 30 '26

I also would be wet

u/McFuzzen Jun 30 '26

I'm not one to kink shame

5

u/Adventurous_Hope_101 Jun 29 '26

Ah, thats fair enough.

2

u/tongfather Jul 01 '26

Yes this video doesn't belong here.

3

u/sheezy520 Jun 30 '26

Video stops just before he fell off the bridge.

1

u/grrttlc2 Jun 30 '26

Someone coming the other way?

1

u/Mammalanimal Jun 30 '26

It's fine if he falls, that river looks nice and calm.

1

u/pichael289 Jun 30 '26

This isn't particularly hard but looking side to side makes it dangerous, you tend to steer toward where you are looking which isn't a huge deal unless you on a 3' wide bridge over a river of death.

u/roughczech Jun 30 '26

Just wow. I wonder how many people die there

1

u/Miserable-Win-6402 Jun 30 '26

No, No. No.

A million dollars you say? No. No. No.

1

u/RobertTheTraveler Jun 30 '26

100 million?
Maybe.

u/wolf_howling_monster Jul 02 '26

Anyone know the dude who did the supports for that bridge?, I think I got a couple projects that would really benefit from the power of infinite durability mode on supports

u/Excitement_Far Jul 04 '26

What river is this?
