Wasn't the point to scare the shit out of himself?

Video is sick, but I honestly dont "get" putting the curved wall all the way up there. It's a trick that he obviously has dialled and so was probably pretty "safe" but what's the point of adding an almost terminal level of danger just for the sake of it? If it was natural terrain that he found ike that it would obviously be a different matter, but it just seems a bit weird to me... then again I'm an old man so fuck me!.

the idea is the same as tight rope walkers doing it chest height/ five stories/ thirty stories / one grand canyon high. you've ridden down some serious kinked handrails with a huge drop on the far side - would it not be easier to do if the other side were fluffy pillows? The obstacles is already there "as it", that's true. But it doesn't mean it takes a lot more guts/mental focus to do it when you can't afford to fail.
i can barely lean on a safety barrier 30 stories high without sweaty palms, yet i'd quite happily peg stall hop barspin out of it if it's on the ground at the same height. Doing that wallride at that height with no safety means you only get one go. there's no bitch run to bail "just to feel it out" - you just focus on what your body's learned to do, and execute. Not to mention, you know, that mild breeze that you ignore when you're on the ground level...
i have a growing appreciation for people who do seemingly menial tricks on scary places.
