HOLY F*CK don't think you could pay me enough to try that (right now at least, maybe in a year or 2) AND as I said photo angle is key, that's the same place as Lidarman and yet his image looks like a nice, quite steep, but fun and rideable roll down. The images kadeater attached however tells a different story.
OK's I just have to say, that although I've been told that I've got some stuff loose upstairs, some of you guys/gals definitely take the cake. I mean I know I started MTBing late in life (34 and have a whole loads more respect for stuff and my bones now) and am self employed (and hence screwed, if I get seriously injured), but even when I was younger and fearless I don't know if I'd have tried something like that KNOLLY pic.
It looks bad, doesnt it? I actually rolled out of it nicely though. My front tire had just bounced up off of the little angled tranny at the base of the rock and in this pic was on its way out and forward. Looks like I'm about to auger though, huh?
Well it't not nearly as steep as what Dave (scrublover) is rolling into a few pictures above. That first roller that scrublover posted has a strong "leap of faith" feeling when you roll into it, as there is a lip about eight feet down that hides the roll out, which is far below the bottom of the pic.
If you look at the Amasa pic you'll see that my friend is unclipping -- nearly falling -- in that spot, which to be honest is NASAIL.
I found another. It's on the tech section at the bottom of Porcupine Rim at the stream crossing in the canyon. It's not as scary as a lot of the other ones in this thread (especially the one by Fantastic Kira), but I'm proud of it.
I have been there and I don't see how you rolled that. Holy crap. I did launch off it back in my younger years on a big bike, but it certainly seems 10 times scarier to roll down it.
