Riding "Suicide" trail, Oak Park, CA
This trail definitely lives up to its name! Extremely steep, rocky and loose, with big ledge drops, and VERY intimidating. I wanted to see how my 26er with the Surly 3.8 wide "Larry" tire would perform, and while it rolls over pretty much everything, it tends to "wander" and will throw you off your line by way of "self-steering". I will be ordering the Surly "Nate" (26 x 3.8) to replace the Larry, and I hear it is much grippier and easier to control.

Aren't you supposed to have a warning on these videos? Something like kids don't try this at home? 
Excellent video; thanks for sharing.
