If by ride you mean leave the bike behind and crawl along on my belly trying not to vomit then maybe...

While it would obviously be scary as fuck, the lens distortion is making it look more precipitous than it is.

Something like this with a very wide lens.

Yep. Those 360° cameras always exaggerate the precipitosity of a trail.

Preposterous precipitosity.

Agree about the 360 camera distorting things, but I'm guessing the cable along the wall is there for good reason ha ha.

When the tyres have to go out near the edge of the trail to stop the handlebars rubbing the wall I'd say it's precarious enough!

You can kind of see the difference the lens makes on the feature in these videos.

At 2:15, same spot, these guys choose not to.

Obviously different riding skill level, but it looks much scarier in the second video with the different lens.
