You go where you are looking.
If you watch these, notice they stay focused on their line.

They asked the guy in the last video how did he know he could make it???
He told them "I watched my buddy do it first". :lol:

Just a little weak in the knees from watching but I will get over it. I did ride some narly trails years ago but shied away from the really scary ones that would be fatal if I fell to the wrong side of the trail. But some trails really don't allow a U-turn no matter how hard you want one. Being physically fit enough to pick up the bike in both arms/hands and turning your body 180 degrees is sometimes the only option. A lighter bike helps a lot. LOL.

One of the locals here told me a personal story from years ago. Sitting at StarBucks with a coffee and he pointed out a ledge across the highway and way up there to say the least. He was doing a ride on his trials bike along the ledge and his handlebars snapped off. Over the edge and slide almost vertically for about 90 feet till he finally stopped on an outcropping. Many months later he was up and walking again with rebuilt knees and a lot of scar tissue from rock rash to many body parts. Don't remember if he said the bike survived.
