I started watching this on my phone, and then I thought, no this is wrong. Then went to put it on the HD big screen. These videos are truly works of art.
My friend and I went down this descent during a cycling tour of Switzerland 40 years ago and I still remember it. Even going at about a quarter of your average speed I was hoping my brakes would hold. It was exhilarating though.
..i learned to ride a motorbike on this road...its crazy on weekends...the lines you two choosed were quite risky... at the liitle "S-Shape piece of road" at exactly 4:40...you can see some staines on the road...this is where 2 bikes collided head on.they were cutting corners as you did and then this little piece of road invites you to do the same...but imagine something is coming upwards..you are to fast to even wiggle to the right...trust me..i was a first responder..2 dead..the stains proof my point..a dam risky 50 meters..
The level of skill to do this and avoid certain obstacles, is actually insane. The quality of these videos is also insane. One wrong turn or big rock and you're done. Glad to see someone ride with such grace an precision actually insane.
you don't need skills, you just need to be a reckless fool. Anyone can ride 80kmh on a bike. I have travelled 80kmh on an ebike I built myself on dirt roads closed to the public. Not like this idiot who enters a village at 70kmh where children can suddenly cross the road. That's not being cool, that's just stupid
@@125-z1h It's not a stupid comment, this ride was very wreckless, at minute 11:42 and than at 15:44, wtf? This guy is lucky not to get fined because in Switzerland they don't f*ck around.
Not really sketchy he could have stopped in time if the bus kept going, just not polite forcing the bus to come to a stop by not waiting, its the bus drivers skill (well he saw them pass, checked his mirrors and let them go through!) at least one of them would have got pinned if the bus kept going, the car had to wait there no matter what.
@@robertwaldram5903 that's plain bs. At the point where he ignores everyone's safety, the line on the street is straight, not dashed which means no overtaking is allowed. Not only did he risk his life but the lives of the other passengers and drivers. The car had to be cautious for a large vehicle such as the bus that obviously can't take the turn. Instead an irresponsible guy on a bicycle decides to bypass all that by acting as if on the set of Mission Impossible. I can't believe there are people here who admire this guy for acting stupid.
@@happytrimmerAt no point do I say I admire the riding, its not skilful riding. I'm just saying its not a particularly dangerous situation. To repeat I feel they could have stopped in time but instead forced the bus driver to stop when they road past, they would have got pinned if the bus had kept going...
I climbed that in summer 2023 after the Grimsel which you can see in the distance. Those Swiss roads are amazing! You got lucky on the Hotel Belvedere turn!
We looked at the Furkapass in Sept 22. Our tandem was heavily loaded, we had only v-brakes for the rims (no drag brake) and the climb looked like Cardiac City. We punted by taking the tandem on the train under the Pass, then returning to ride the Postbus from Realp to Obergoms. From there we went down the Rhone to Marseilles. After this video, we don't regret cheating. Nice ride down although you were pushing it around a couple of the hairpins.
@@franklinekihiu2154 I know right 😅🤣 - they are playing too much.... But the adrenalin rush awesome, would love to do it too without playing too much with the cars
The dangerous move was the car stopping like that. The bus is longer than the car, so it only made sense to stop depending on what the bus driver was perceiving. The car stopping made the bus have less room for a turn. And....why is it stopping when there are no hazards or stop signs? 🤨 It seems like the car driver being a fool caused the situation to be more hazardous. Bicycles are practically motor vehicles (legally; same rights and responsibilities with few exceptions) so drivers should treat them just like any other automobile. It's just strange and legally dubious to stop out of nowhere obstructing traffic when there's nothing clearly wrong with your vehicle.
@@xaviermoise7187 Exactly what should the car drive have done there? It was in its lane and had to stop because the bus turn radius is so big. And it is not a place to pass a car. THe bikers should have stopped behind the car, just like car or motorcycle would have done.
I live in the Caribbean on a small island,How I long to make a sprint like this,Pure power sprint,Your awesome bro,I had to watch this on big screen the phone could do justice
Well I’ve read many of the comments where people think this is fantastic and so exciting and of course it is quite exciting but it’s also quite dangerous. Even if you are a driver I really feel for people. It’s one thing to go into the Tour de France and have an entourage of people to look after you in case you have a terrible accident that these ones are just courting disaster. That section where you went between the bus and the car is absolutely ridiculous and if a police car was there I’m sure you would’ve been fine as you should’ve been not only is it dangerous for you? It’s also dangerous for the driver of the car and the bus and the person filming behind you. I am a cyclist myself. I love cycling, but this sort of recklessness is really uncalled for and it’s so sad to see it happening in such a beautiful place where I actually wanted to drive myself. I certainly hope this sort of recklessness doesn’t happen in my country, Australia.
Experiencing the raw runs on Furka Pass (west) in Switzerland was like diving into a thrilling adventure! 🏔💨 The breathtaking scenery combined with the exhilarating twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat, wishing I could join in on the action. What an epic ride!
Controlled insanity, I'll call it. Few riders have the skill, confidence or balls to try this. Brian possesses all three. As one poster said, one false move...Even the best make mistakes, and sometimes machines fail for any number of reasons.
That was great to watch, thank you. Great video quality and cammer riding, not a good place to have a break failure that's for sure! I normally ride powered 2 wheels but that was aces 👍
Absolutely fearless and skilled. At around 5:09 you move to the left toward the centreline to pass within inches of an incoming RV at 65kph… I’m not even going to ask why, I think your answer would be “why the hell not?”
Kudos to the camera guy on the bike, ran the same speed ran a slightly better line and had to multitask doing the run and the camera at the same time. ✌
Brian, I'm over 70 and ridden those roads for over 30 years. I've done lots and lots of climbing in the french alpes, suisse, dolomiti, Austria and I know the Furka Pass really well. It isn't a race my friend, the roads aren't closed for racing. If you would have been knocked off and seriously injured or killed squeezing in between that car and the coach, how would the driver of the coach and car driver have felt? What about your mate filming behind? We just have to think of others mate, anything less is irresponsible.
They were both at a standstill and I came to pretty much a stop before going through. Car decided not to use the pullout to their right to try to keep us stuck behind it. Took my chance to get away from a shitty driver. Hard to get killed when nothing is moving...
Really love your maximum attack style, no time to catch a breath, passing through the gap between the car and the bus, 20 seconds later, super-tuck! I wonder how many runs can you think you can do in a day, as it is really exhausting mentally. Phisically, you`re flowing, so loose, not tense, it`s a joy to learn...I mean watch! Oh yeah, that bike really goes!
Bei solchen Pässen bin ich ein absoluter Bremsenkiller. Ohne hydraulische Scheibenbremsen fahre ich sowas nicht mehr herunter. Am besten mit ner 180er Bremsscheibe vorne 😎
thanks for sharing this amazing footage of Furka Pass, it really captures the beauty of Switzerland! however, i can't help but feel that the raw runs take away from the breathtaking scenery. sometimes, a little editing can enhance the experience and showcase the stunning landscapes even better. what do you all think?
Imagine you lose traction because a bad road on that speed at that height. I've actually always wanted to do a descent like this in the mountains but after i seeing this i think i have to much fear.
The city where I live and cycle is pretty much totally flat. I have a 7 speed hub gear city bike. However, I always do a SAFA Brian aero tuck whenever I come across a little downhill section and imagine I am in the alps doing 50mph :-)
Thought the bus bit was a bit stupid and unnecessary. The rest was amazing. Had it not been for being recorded would you have waited or still squeezed that gap?
