If you thought last year’s rides were wild… buckle up.
Because this year?
This year rewired my brain.
Today’s video is a raw, unfiltered, heart-pounding compilation of the Most INSANE POV Lines I Rode This Year — every cliff drop, ridge run, razor-edge trail, death-grip descent, and “how am I still alive?” moment captured directly from the helmet cam.
This isn’t just a highlight reel.
This is a full cinematic journey into the gnarly, chaotic, beautiful madness of mountain biking at its most extreme.
Every line in this video pushed me, terrified me, and changed me.
And now you get to experience them as if you were right there with me, hanging on for dear life.
🔥 The Year That Redefined My Limits
This year I set out with one goal:
Ride the scariest, most technical, most mind-bending lines on the planet.
From:
- high-altitude ridge trails
- exposed cliffside descents
- desert canyons
- jungle drops
- slippery alpine chutes
- and abandoned freeride zones
…to trails that barely qualified as “trails” at all.
Every ride felt like a negotiation with gravity.
Some felt like a negotiation with fate.
The POV footage shows EVERYTHING — the panic, the speed, the mistakes, the near-crashes, and the moments where instinct takes over and somehow saves the run.
🎥 Top POV Moments You’ll Never Forget
Here are just a few of the insane lines featured in today’s compilation:
🔥 Line #4 — “The Razor Ridge”
A ridgeline so thin my handlebars nearly scraped both sides.
One slip left or right and it’s a 500-foot fall into a rocky canyon.
The wind at the top was so strong it kept nudging my front wheel.
Watching the footage makes even me nauseous.
🌪️ Line #12 — “The Tunnel of Screams”
A forest chute so steep and narrow that braking wasn’t an option.
Your body becomes a missile and the trees become the walls of a pinball machine.
My rear tire locked up three times.
Each time, I thought I was done for.
⛰️ Line #19 — “The Vertical Playground”
A near-vertical rock slab that looks unrideable until you commit.
Once you drop in, you’re on a slick granite slide that accelerates you to 40 mph in seconds.
My tires were squealing for grip.
My heart was screaming for mercy.
💀 Line #27 — “The Death Gully”
A washed-out, boulder-ridden canyon run where everything wants to grab your front wheel and throw you over the bars.
This was the ride where my GoPro actually flew off once — so I had to come back and do it again.
🔥 Line #33 — “Lightning Pass”
A super exposed alpine line where thunder literally echoed off the mountains.
The ground vibrated beneath my wheels.
Every turn felt like it could be my last.
The footage looks like something from a video game set on “Nightmare Mode.”
😱 Line #45 — “The Ghost Drop”
You roll toward the edge…
and the trail disappears.
A blind 12-foot drop into a trench with zero visibility until you’re airborne.
I didn’t breathe until the tires touched dirt again.
🚵 Line #50 — “The World’s Tightest Switchback”
A switchback so sharp that I had to swing my rear wheel around 180 degrees mid-turn.
It required perfect front brake control, hip rotation, and full-body commitment.
The POV angle makes it look even scarier than it felt.
🔥 Line #61 — “The Desert Dragon Spine”
A narrow sandstone ridge, shaped like the back of a mythical beast.
One misaligned turn and you’re tumbling down either side.
The textures, the speed, the exposure — it’s one of the cleanest and craziest lines I’ve ever ridden.
⚡ Line #77 — “The Elevator Shaft”
Imagine riding straight down a dirt wall so steep it might as well be a vertical drop.
I slid sideways twice.
My front wheel hit a rut that almost ended the run.
You can hear me yell in the footage — and I NEVER yell.
🔥 Line #100 — “The Finale Line — The One That Broke Me”
This was the hardest line of the entire year.
Technical.
Loose.
Exposed.
Steep.
Unpredictable.
I crashed during practice.
I almost didn’t go back.
But the final POV?
It’s the most intense, most cinematic, most ridiculous ride I’ve ever captured.
This moment alone makes the entire video worth watching.
🎬 What Makes POV Footage So Addicting
Watching from the helmet cam gives you:
- raw speed
- raw chaos
- raw fear
- raw adrenaline
You see what I see.
You react as I react.
You flinch when I nearly crash.
You breathe hard when I slide.
You gasp when the trail drops away.
It’s as close as you can get to riding these lines without actually risking your bones.
😤 The Mental Battle Behind These Lines
What the camera doesn’t show is:
- the minutes of staring at a drop debating your life choices
- the shaking hands
- the deep breaths
- the “I shouldn’t do this” voice in your head
- the way time slows right before you commit
- the silence that hits when you finally let go of the brakes
Every insane line starts with fear.
And every completed line ends with the biggest adrenaline rush imaginable.
💬 Lessons From a Year of Insanity
This year taught me:
- Fear isn’t an enemy — it’s data
- Focus is a muscle
- Skill only grows when discomfort grows
- Trails look impossible until you try
- And sometimes… you ride your best lines when you’re scared
These lines shaped who I am now.
And sharing them with you is the best way to close out the year.
