In Bolivia bevindt zich een downhill afdaling waar je U kunt zeggen,een downhill die je niet vergeet over de meest gevaarlijkste weg ter wereld
De downhill afdaling heeft een lengte van bijna 70 km,waarvan 90% downhill gaat en 10% uphill,maar die niet moeilijk zijn,in die downhill afdalingen kunnen snelheden van ruim 80-90 km/u ontstaan.

Kan er (nog) niet wild van worden, een afdaling waar een auto ook af kan vind ik nooit zo heel leuk.
Vond de 14 km in Laax al wel lang genoeg.

Van wielrennen, via bos-wielrennen, mountainbiken, downhill mountainbiken (geen talent wel fun) en triatlon nu weer op de mountainbike. I.P.T. for life ;-)

volgens mij hebben ze hier weleens een documentaire over gehad op discovery of national
geographic. 2 topbikers zijn toen omhoog gefietst, om daarna weer naar beneden te knallen. heel
apart.

kun je beter de passportes rijden, 80km DH met ook maar paar hoogtemeters die geklommen moeten worden. En de paden zijn stukken mooier!!

NEW for 2004: A Secret Stash of Superlative Singletrack
After extensive TOP SECRET testing in 2002-3, GRAVITY is proud to announce that for 2004 it will be offering a collection of totally new 1-, 2- and 3-day rides. Based out of La Paz these rides offer incredible scenery and stunning riding on the best trails around! The days generally follow the format of:
A morning drive by jeep to a riding area for several hours of riding with an emphasis on training and orientation.
A picnic lunch in a scenic location (included).
An afternoon of awesome riding on a secret singletrack trail.
A later afternoon or early evening return to La Paz.
Because these trails are singletrack, they are only suitable people with some mountain biking experience -- with singletrack! We would classify them as being suitable for intermediate riders. A confident beginner with singletrack experience who is willing to carry the bike through some parts, struggle with other parts, and fall off the bike a few times could also tackle these rides. NOTE: For the uninitiated, "singletrack" is a small walking or biking path of one to three feet in width, often containing rocks, roots, steps, etc., as obstacles. The Secret Singletrack rides we offer are predominantly downhill, with tricky traction, sometimes off-camber, and very steep in places.
We will be providing a lot of instruction and coaching throughout the day, in particular on how to tackle some of the more challenging sections on these trails.
By the challenging technical nature of these trails there is a higher chance of crashing than on our normal road rides ... so we provide leg and arm armour (included).
While these rides are great fun on our standard hard-tail KONA bikes, they are even more fun on our full-supension KONA Stinkys. It's well worth the upgrade!!!
If we told you where the rides were they wouldn't be secret anymore!!
Standard group size is 4-7 people. We can do smaller groups but it is more expensive. As such we recommend that you email us in advance to set up a date and we will look for other people to join you. Generally we run these trips three times a week. If you are unsure about your ability, then sign up for one of our dirt-road rides (like the World's Most Dangerous Road) and our guides can assess your riding level and advise you on which singletrack ride you would most enjoy.
