We’ve gone down some steep descents in our time, but nothing like this. Primož Ravnik decided that he could make it down an incredibly steep dam slipway and he filmed it on his GoPro.
The dam is somewhere in Slovenia, and is just over 60m tall. However, taking it on was a bit more tricky than it comes across in the video. Even to get to the start point required lowering Primož and his bike by ropes.
A dry summer left the slipway dry which helped his cause, as he was expected to reach 70 kmph before hitting the water.
There’s a blog post on the attempt here which shows the level of planning involved.
