The Best Road I Have Ridden - Susten Pass (east) | Switzerland raw runs [#9]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2023
- Quite possibly my favorite descent ever ridden. It's not often you get to hold speeds this high for so long, and to do it through a gigantic valley dropping in from the clouds, quite unbelievable. A day to remember with Taylor Dawson sticking to my wheel like glue down the Susten.

That overtake between the tractor gave me spine chills. Heart rate was high through out the video. Sheer adrenaline. Awesome experience :)
That guy though he could stay in front of Safa... Little did he know...
I rode the valley behind him, along with others, this last summer. Doesn't take much miscalculation to end up under the wheels of an oncoming tractor. Not his best work there.😵
@@erickcarlson9245 None of this would be possible in India. Every day ride is very crazy already. I'm happy that every one is safe. Living on the edge can be forgiven when no one is hurt :)
@@erickcarlson9245 He looked in control to me
10:32 great scene
As a Swiss, for me the Susten is the most beautiful pass to ride with the bike of the big ones (like Nufenen, Grimsel, Furka, Gotthard, etc.). Climbing from the western side (from Innertkirchen, very scenic) and descending to the east (like here to Wassen, great stretches to pick up speed as evident from this magnificent film by Brian) is the best option. On weekends the road is busy with tourist cars and motor bikes, but on week days it is usually very quite. The reason is that the Susten is not a main north-south route crossing the alps, but rather a west-east road connecting two not so populated regions. The modern road was build in WWII as a militarily strategic connection and there is an inscription near the top of the pass „In ernster Zeit dem Frieden geweiht." in „In serious times dedicated to peace.“
Great video, but I have to say the overtake was complete madness.
overtake at 10:34 is so disrespectful, also the bus overtake. There are many disrespectful car drivers, but also some of us disrespectful bike drivers. Then you encounter some people in cars who make a gesture as if they want to run over you, and maybe cyclists like this are the reason. The video is very well filmed and all, but yeah
@@xosece what Volkswagen did was also annoying, either drive away or let bike pass, but he kept it that way
Very little difference between this and base jumping 😂 Hats off Safa. Fierce!!!!
@@greedycat4026 You know that they were over the speed limit, don't you? Why would the car drive faster than the speed limit just to let two wreckless riders pass?
The rules are for everyone, not only for cars.
@@njsfer to let them pass he should slower pace a bit for a sec (like cool guy on 9:48, not that he has to do that), not exceed the speed limit.. but just apply common sense =D and not be a bot (even following within rules).
So many things u can do staying with in the rules and still be annoying, i didn't say wagen was violating anything. And i don't think they are wreckless riders.
The photography, the sustained speed, pushing through the corners - this is just great. I'm bookmarking this and I'll rewatch all the winter long, thanks SAFA!
As someone who originates from the climbing community, hammering descents like this feels quite similar to free soloing. It rarely goes wrong but if it does, then that's that... And as with soloing, if it does go wrong, it does so for reasons that you cannot control (like a cow crossing the road). So I wish you luck.
usually with climbing though you are not puuting in danger other people unless there is heavy traffic on the mountain so that would be the biggest difference if u do stuff like this on public road you can harm others opposite to solloing on mountain
And good luck to the cow too.
А он и корову перепрыгне😂
Is someone forcing you to dice with death or do you have some control over your hobbies? It's very easy for a tyre to fail rapidly in various ways, especially when cornering, leaving you trying to steer on a bare wheel rim with milliseconds to go until you come a cropper.
problem is that, in contrast to free soloing, he endangers also other people with this reckless behaviour
The scenery is just amazing
I feel blessed to be able to experience this POV at high speed high HR that I will never be able to achieve. Ride on Safa!
10:39 the timing of the overtake tells you a Lot about this riding "style"...
someone i know was involved in a cyclist's fatal accident and although they had zero fault, they've never been the same person afterwards :(
That overtake gave me an Ulcer!
Mad Bike Skills!
Great ride and another banger as usual Safa!
What a pleasant bicycle ride ❤ awesomeness 👏✨✨✨✨✨✨🤩
Perfect descent, perfect, awesome rider 💪💪
The most exciting, captivating and reckless cycling video I’ve ever seen.
Wow your videos are incredible. Im a huge fan and envious of your downhill adventures. Please be careful!😅😅😅😅
Such a majestic road, this and Nivolet are my favourites
Not too many know Nivolet! :)
I hope you had time to take in and enjoy the awesome scenery while staying safe cycling.
Omfg.....my heart can't take it! Stay safe, men!
I got goosebumps watching this video
I love how you squeeze every km/h, maximum attack 😍🔥👏
Catching and passing cars is f’ing legendary!
Absolute work on art, Safa. Just got a new monitor. Loving it on this thing.
wow this is so crazy, what a thrill
nice! i can momentarily get up to these speeds but being over 70 kph almost all the time is quite different. you must trust your cameraman a lot. the video is amazing
Amazing Safa - unreal views !!!
the safas got 450k subs! 📈congrats. it's working!
Awesome ride - congrats. Excellent filming too. Know this pass well - never seen this little traffic tho. Must have been Monday morning 8am 😜
Spectacular! ⛰️ 🤙
Threadin the needle with that van and tractor. Van was kinda a dick though
Your favorite.
insane…kudos as well to your cameraman…can’t drop the guy😉
My idol in cornering💯🔥
Watching this gave me the raw runs...
The views are incredible, the speed is insane, and your turns give me anxiety! Stay safe brother!
breathtaking 😍
Have been waiting for such video for weeks
Unparalleled beauty😮
That‘s amazing！
Such stunning scenery and incredible riding, but I really feel you tarnish the video by those overtakes. Unsafe riding shouldn’t be glorified like this, whilst I appreciate you showing the whole pass I think you’re on borrowed time with incidents like this and others in some of your other clips.
Crazy Safa👌🏻
What a view! Superb descent! Loved the overtaking! 👌
that's amazing ❤
Amazing
Thank you, I enjoyed the ride in my chair 😄
I dont this I'd ever have the cajones to split the van and the tractor like that, but I also dont have these chops 🐐
that's simply insane
Camera work really gives the impression of speed. So immersive, sweaty palms just watching. I'm conflicted though as some overtakes were dodgy. That people carrier was moving about about in his lane a bit, good job he didn't come left when you did the overtake head on into the tractor. Stay safe 👌
Next time when your in Switzerland you should check the Pragel pass, its a tiny little Mountain Road with up to 18% inclines, 12Km 930m down
I know the area very well. You've picked a good time, because in most cases you have to reckon with really dangerous motorcyclists coming towards you (on your side of the road). Good luck to you!
The dangerous driver of the blue Volkswagen strangely decided to stay in his own lane when he saw a tractor approaching. So it's only his own life he seems to give a hoot about.
Fantastic!
Man and machine in perfect harmony
I'll bet that the guy driving the tractor didn't even notice SAFA as he passed in-between them 😂
Jesus 😱
that was a lucky one, usually tractors are quite wide :)
@@Sandman_TV SAFA is experienced being a bike messenger in NYC he's used to going thru tight situations 🔥
Over taking the bus on the corner looked worse. 11:59
he threw his hand up and yelled at him
Rafa riding a desktop wallpaper ❤
😂😂😂 that van was movin boi, I wanna ride one of these bikes
10:39 was extra spicy!
Definitely!! Whew!
this is heaven for me
Stunning ride, but you didn't hang round to see the views!
Just came down to LA with the road bike to chase some of your videos, maybe over to Switzerland next.
Yeh, that sound of the chain rubbing in 1:23 😵💫
That IS a nice road, otherwise flying into those tunnels at 45 mph would be pretty scary (maybe still is)!
Beast🤘 take care
Muhteşem bir doğa manzarası ve cesur bir sürüş teşekkürler videolarını ilgiyle izliyorum
Nothing better to watch on the trainer. Much love ❤
👊
Mate, that pass between the tractor 😮😮
Gotta get them RUclips hits!
EPIC!!!
looks beautiful, but as someone scared of heights I don't think I would dare go anywhere as fast as that
🦅 vibes
awesome
lindo vídeo e boa sorte
I was wondering what's the best POV for cycling and I need another rider :)
Great content!
So many cars there!
10:08, Berner, one of the most dangerous driver in the moutains :D
10:38, risking your life because someone doesn't want to be overtaken
Great ride very beautiful ❤🇮🇳
disc rubbing at the end, rim brake for the win
Great ride once again ;) How is the foil ultimate vs your previous Addict RC pro (better everywhere) ?
That slow tractor was so in his way. He almost had to bump it over 😂
I'd love to see your heartrate after that tractor fly through lol!!
멋지네요!!
rode gottard and Nufenen this year but have to go back for this one
Amazing but crazy😅
Great!
lmao - you should interview the drivers at the bottom. would be really cool to see some stationary shots that show the speed
Le croisement avec le tracteur, passe encore, mais celui du car postale dans une courbe sans aucune visibilité, c'est de la pure folie. On ne peut pas faire celà sur une route ouverte.
Je suis d'accord que le dépassement était risqué mais on peut voir à 11:56 qu'il a de la visibilité sur la route, en regardant à droite du car postal.
Brutal
I bet those tyres were 🔥 hot
When accelerating out of a hairpin and standing on the pedals, is the rhythmic mechanical noise the chain rubbing on the front derailleur? If so the frame must be flexing?
damn thats nice, what about clothing equipment , what are you using?
10:38 The Farmer was Praying for Speed I think !
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌
The dream.
MENTAL video. How do you get your speed data? (GPS or sensor?)
You are The Man! Wow! Spectacular scenery and awesome descent.. I "Forced" also my wife to watch this one; especially that tractor passing.. 😬Crazy car driver, tried to have a collision with You just before tractor. Took so badly that cyclist is going to pass a car... Anyway huge descent! 🤩
Seemed like that minivan was trying to block him sometimes. Then he pulled to the right to invite Brian to overtake when a hazard was coming.
The latter not intentionally I think but it looked like it.
💨
Was that your bottom bracket creaking at the beginning?
That was his balls of steel clanking!
Sweet
Wow, amazing skill and bravoure. But I condemn your on road behavior severely and politely. Other traffic users are made an involuntary participant in a dangerous situation because of your lack of adhering to basic traffic laws. Taking a risk with your own live does not mean you are allowed to endanger other people.
Bro 💀
delete this
These guys don't care .It's s all them and their imaginary Tour de France trial.
Gasten zijn niet lekker.
🤓🤓🤓🤓
Wish i could ride with that speed bro 🫣🫣
Nah im scared to go that fast haha.
@@n2deepjds don’t be scared just close your eyes haha just kidding just enjoy your ride and be safe always.
@@nelbertricafort8265 hahaha thanks bro! You be safe as well and have fun!
These videos always freak me out as i like to ride these passes but not flat out like these guys
와.엄청.조마조마하면서 봤어요 따봉
I think you need anger management. 😂😂😂😂
Really amazing ride though so I think my heart stopped five times watching it. 😂😂🙃🎃
