Mountain Biking The Cliffs Of Moher

This is some of the most insane mountain biking on the planet, The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. It may look familiar to you as “The Cliffs of Insanity” from the film, The Princess Bride. The updrafts can be strong enough to make a biker weightless, but at least they’re wearing helmets :)

    There were 3 guys that got blown over the edge here. Last thing i would do would be to bike it.

    the guy at the back is Steve Peat – UCI World Cup Mountain Bike champion and all round downhill legend!

    There’s footage of them on this cliff in the short film – King of the Downhill.

    Just came from there, there is no ledge around the cliffs. It was photoshoped.. Nice work though.

  14. Matt says:

    Paul and Steve, there aren’t any ledges if you come up from the visitors center and turn left, but there are if you go right. You just have to walk down to them. There is also video of them riding this on environmentalgraffiti.com
