POSSIBLY THE HARDEST TRAIL I HAVE DONE! (MADEIRA CLIFFS AND SLICK ROCK)

I raced this trail back in 2017. It’s an old hiking trail and features plenty of rock with moss and leafs all over them. It is one of the most difficult trails I have ever done due to the rock, no grip and the roots in between and not to mention the huge cliff drop off at the left side of the trail for the majority of the single track. Make sure you give this video a like, comment below and subscribe if you have not already! Cheers!!!

Looks amazing

[@roberthall106]

Wow this is pure madness! You killed it Lewis🔥🔥 Imagine this being in your backyard….Not sure I would survive past the first run 😂

[@phazedplasma]

Ha, Ive ridden this! Its no joke! One of the slipperiest most unpredictable trails I've ever ridden. The eucalyptus flow at the bottom is amazing though.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Cool to have you chime in and agree haha! Cheers!!!

[@TheDingopaul]

I rode it this summer. I got used to exposure and rocks everywhere but did't feel arms at all 🙂.

[@pontusjidesten4637]

Rode this last year with my son. So scary with the slippery parts to the right and the exposure to the left. The rocky road in the middle is the only option 😃

[@iliastsiris5702]

Full first 6 minutes of rock garden??? What a place what a ride awesome... 200HR don't look left!! 😂

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha

[@thomaswayout9081]

Yep. Done it 3 years ago. Completly unpredictable. We had it slightly wet and took it very VERY easy on that one. :)

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha yup

[@netjac]

[@jasongidney9660]

Looks crazy. So so glad they keep this one out of Trans Madeira! 🤣

[@schmidt5988]

Your Bike rattles sooooo loud. Do you know what that is?

[@madeiradriftin4429]

its called Porto da Cruz 😂

[@NJRD977]

There was a lot of hell no from me as I was watching that - doffed cap to you for still pushing on as hard as you were with the drop away and lack of surface vision

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks

[@brunoolmedo7874]

You need to visit Ixtepeji in Mexico and try the trail "el toro" its really hard

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Maybe in the future

[@phazedplasma]

2nd this, Oaxaca is amazing and El Toro is so legit!

[@LewisBuchanan]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

[@LewisBuchanan]

Trying to get back this week but bad weather is cancelling flights

[@peterbeer4746]

Porta da cruz awsome trail in the dry but a different trail in the wet , can see why they cancelled it in trans Madeira on day 2

[@LewisBuchanan]

💪🏽💪🏽

[@greencroft]

I usually like tech trails but that one is on my "no thanks" list.

[@leedove7255]

You need to practice more on Spooky Wood :-)

[@chrismade123]

how long is that trail?

[@vitorvieira4951]

76 km

[@Ganiscol]

Moist Round Rutted Rocks with leaves on top and certain injury or death on the left is the sum of all my fears 😬

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha yup!

[@siglinde_raw199]

dude.. gopro settings are so bad that it hurts the eyes if youre going a bit faster

[@mdc123-v2v]

Imagine doing this on a HT.....lmao

[@Yarpen_Z]

Rode it two days ago.
Hardest trail I've done that's for sure!
Never been so proud of myself once I made it to the bottom in one peace
