heck yah….I’d give it a try on that one on the far left (rider’s right)…better approach…hit it with a little speed, don’t look down, stay focused on the exit point…and WHEEEEEE!!!!!

Although, the price for failure is not cheap!!

For me it’s not so much the drop by the pain of falling and catching my ribs, arms, head, etc on another one of those metal slats.

Ha! Case Mountain! I’ve never seen anyone ride over those though. Probably someone out there who can though.

Whoa, weird unexpectedly seeing a trail you’ve ridden a hundred times - Case Mountain in Connecticut. I was there three weeks ago on a visit back, you can ride through the stream to the right in the photo, although I’m sure there are lots of toughguys who could ride the beam…

No way - look at the price to pay if you screw up It seems a good 10 ft drop (if not more).

I was riding a skinny like that around our local trails that was only a foot or so off the ground & got pretty good at it. Although every now and then I’d have to bail (easy to do - just ride off). I certainly wouldn’t up the stakes to be 10ft off the ground unless I’d done it a LOT more (But those north shore & trials guys would do this popping a wheelie or endo)

Yep. I’ve done a “I” beam turned on it’s side so you had to ride in the “channel” over a drainage ditch in a XC race back in the 90’s. Before you say, “Not the same thing”, I say yeah, you’re right. It was worse than this because if your knobbies caught the edge of the I beam channel, you were going down. As in ten feet or more down into a shallow drainage.

Not a good idea to try this though, if you don’t have to. But it can be done, and it’s easier than you might think.

I don’t know if I would ride that one. I ride a board bridge on a local trail that is about ten inches wide and maybe 8 feet long. That is about the limit that I feel comfortable with.
