Think your roads are bad!?

I like the hiking trails better. Here that would he outlawed or wrapped in chain link to better protect the crazy people willing to try. The roads wouldn't even be allowed since we have to protect everyone from lawsuits. Opps I mean injury. The road in russia looks like it would be a crappy way to spend a few days in traffic. I thought us1a in wake forest was bad.
 
Id have to go with a 4wd ATV with big tires and motor, electric start, and a ton of gas. My legs are too short to balance a KLR650 when the going got slow.
 
The Bolivian Road of death is very, very famous for people dying on it. At one point, an average of once a week, a truck goes over the edge. And there's no surviving that fall.

3600 ft altitude change.

Scary thing is - it's become a popular mountain bike trek....

I saw a show on discovery about the bolivian death road. There are places where a normal vehicle (pickup, car etc.) and a truck/bus pass with inches to spare! Crazy! As for that "hiking" trail in tibet, Hail naw!
 
We should send Russia a load of asphalt. How much longer will the "cliff road" last before erosion makes it impassable.....????

could collapse at any time with the weight of vehicles always changing the load on the cliffs. it's not a matter of "if", but "when". I'm all about hardcore adrenaline rushes, but there's no way i would get on those boards! man that's nuts!
 
Holy cow!!! That trail in Tibet is freakin' INTENSE!!! WOW!!! I lived in Estes Park, CO for a couple summers during college and I've climbed literally every peak in Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park, I've done the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, along with the Garden Wall in Glacier NP in Montana. Lots of crazy stuff, but nothing like THAT!!! That is freakin' insane! When I climb, it's always with full gear. Going across some tacked up boards and hanging onto logging chains??!!! Man, those people need to be committed for their own protection!

As a side note, the closest thing I've experienced to the things listed here in NC is the Profile Trail on Grandfatehr Mountain.
