I my OP this guy should Never have been allowed on this climb. Obviously the guy was hyperventilating at the bottom. What If his Buddy said, "Hey we can turn around, We have nothing to prove here." The climb was not that difficult. Total target fixation in my OP. AND, these GoPros offer a distorted view. If you freeze the frame @ 5 min, the drop is not as severe as the run off appears. All said, The pool at the bottom saved his life. That he climbed out proves that the drop is distorted in the vid. No, I so not want to prove myself on Schofield Pass.

Mikey777 44 Posted September 16, 2019 Wow....lucky guy. That could have been really bad. I would like to see the video of the bike retrieval. Probably need a winch to pull it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van 35 Posted September 16, 2019 Looks like about a 4 second episode (5:28 to 5:32). At the rate of acceleration of a free falling object (acc = 32 feet/sec2) (d = 1/2(acc)(time)2 ) distance would be that roughly 64 feet! Question - whats the terminal velocity of a falling bike and rider?) But it does not look that high and there was a bit of "friction" on the way down. Even at half, say 32 feet, that's a drop nightmares are made of... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fargoin 6 Posted September 16, 2019 I've driven that section of the pass in a Jeep. It is pretty sketchy. He actually made it past the most difficult part. Where the rocks start it is a lot more off camber than the video shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey777 44 Posted September 18, 2019 Seems like a poor way to recover the bike. I would have strapped it into a skedco and pulled it up the hill via a winch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
