Mountain Biker Rides ‘Aesthetic Line’ on Cliff Over the Ocean

50 Campfires

Marco Bassot, an Italian snowboarder and mountain biker, continues to do things on his mountain bike that most people think is impossible. For instance, he recently rode a nearly non-existent path along the craggiest rock structure poking up out of the Atlantic Ocean. In case you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to ride a mountain bike on a sliver of cliff over the ocean, here’s a glimpse into Bassot’s wild world.

“Touching the void on the most breathtaking cliff of El Hierro,” wrote Bassot in his Instagram post sharing the helmet-cam footage. “Have you seen the arch?? When I arrived at this spot some days ago I couldn’t believe my eyes. Such an aesthetic line directly on the Atlantic ocean. Huge impressive arch in front and those awesome cliffs . . . just wow. No mistake allowed. My heart on fire. The adrenaline chute is massive.”
