![Blood Sacrifice - Crash on the Nufenenpass (west) | Switzerland raw runs [#10]](/img/n.gif)
Maaan 😂 just imagine being overtaken at 85km/h by this crazy guy on a bike
That's what I was thinking
Oh my god, what's going on with my car?🤨😂
That's electric tric tric ric ric rik
Hmm, he appears to be exceeding the speed limit. Let him go.
Lol lol 😂
I've gone over 80 km/hr on clear descents before and it feels sketchy without having to worry about anything but pointing the bike straight. It's nuts for him to be tailgating that SUV. One tap of the brakes and he's toast.
He was Hitchin a ride in its stream...
@@bastogne315 the only way to fly
I wouldn't even do that in a car. It'll take one accident and that'll be the end of that.
incroyable je pense aux personnes qui se sont fait doublé par un velo et si il raconte ça à leurs amis , ils vont le prendre pour un fou ou un menteur.
KAMIKAZE KOJIMA SE NE ŽIVI
in my early 20s i also bombed the descents, stayed crash free (some very lucky moments), but after seeing other people getting f...ed up, suffering life changing injuries, multiple times, i'm now sitting on the brakes quickly going downhill.
Could have gone real bad real quick at 1:59.
@@starvin-marvin-the-martian yeah all it takes is that minivan to hit the brakes and you're toast. I admire Brian but there are a lot of close calls in his vids. I try my best to stay safe around cars, but sometimes it's all to tempting to overtake and draft :D
What was the worse crash you saw?
@@freeffree4133 worst/most gut wrenching was probably picking up a guy with a huge hole in the head.
This video reminds me of all the "badass" freeclimbers in the 90s that aren't alive anymore. No wonder people hate cyclists. Daily traffic is not the place to be doing this shit. Go bomb a no traffic closed course somewhere if you want to act like a twat.
how nice of everyone to drive 85 instead of 70 to not slow down safa
Reminds. Me of the story of the 3 legged chicken.
A man was driving along the motorway when he noticed a chicken running alongside his car. He was amazed to see the chicken keeping up with him, as he was doing 60 mph. He accelerated to 70, and the chicken stayed right next to him. He sped up to 75 mph, but the chicken overtook him.
Then the man noticed that the chicken had three legs. So he followed the chicken, speeding all the way, and ended up at a farm. He got out of his car and saw that all the chickens on the farm had three legs.
When he spotted the farmer he asked him, "Where did you get these chickens?"
The farmer replied "Well, everybody likes chicken legs, so I bred a three-legged bird. I'm going to be a millionaire."
The man was impressed and asked him how they tasted. The farmer said, "Don't know, I haven't caught one yet."
Carnist humor
Appreciate the joke,
Ronald Reagan's famous joke. Classic
@@mtcalqarni I'm not surprised he told this joke
😅
Riding a bike in a tunnel like that is really rolling the dice with luck.
Why?
Excatly why
that's what my mom said sorta comment
Because tunnels can suddenly swerve on you and you have nowhere to go
@@802redwood That's why bicycles are not allowed in highway tunnels (at least in Madeira).
Felt my heart rate go up watching this. Wow 👏
also, I wouldn't dare to ride this fast up to about 50 kilometers no more, but I don't even have a bike for higher speed.
😂
Mine too
Who needs a car anyway
If you're brian Safa
On the way home when you need to ride back up
Who needs lights?
For the way back up😂
I need a car but will never give up my bicycles 🚲
It’s impressive riding, but at that speed amongst general public drivers!! I really hope these daring descents don’t end in tears 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well, he would have had it coming.
Don’t worry, It will end in bloods.
well the man's been doing it for 20 years so shouldn't be the biggest worry lol
Drivers would be at fault
@@KleineJoop no, he would be at fault for cycling on a highway which is strictly prohibited
SAFA looks so cool while sprinting putting all that explosive power to the wheels and his long hair all flowing in the wind. 🤩
That's exactly what I was thinking 😂
Pretty amazing considering how hard it is to look cool wearing lycra.
Affects the aerodynamics but still looks cool lol
@@linkinsahan he's aerodynamic enough, being as skinny as he is.
Straight psycho. I hate to think about a wipe out at those speeds. God be with you guys.
No worries, he’s wearing his supergloves! 😂
@@Bgdutch77 I hope he's got his super skull too 😂
i wont be sad, when 1 or both of them are gone
@danjo1967 What a sick and horrible thing to say
@@danjo1967 Least psychopathic driver
Safa is living in a video game. This video was insane!
Seriously, I'd play GTC: Grand Theft Cycling!
I've come off a motorcycle at 50mph wearing full leathers, body armour and helmet. The rolling hurt a lot and scraped up my leathers pretty bad on the tarmac. Can't imagine what it would be like coming off at those speeds in just lycra shorts and t-shirt 😂
My worst was going about 24 wearing lycra... it blows 100% would not recommend.
Came off at 40 kph and took more than a year to fully recover. Shoulder, wrist, hip and knee all damaged. Cycle helmet was destroyed but did the job. I tend to take care nowadays and while I admire the guys bravery and talent please don’t take risks like this, it eventually ends badly.
I crashed one time at 34kph at a descent because a dog suddenly crossed the road. My front tire hit the dog and I literally flipped on my bike. Luckily I only got small bruises and a sprained hand. Gloves is a must too. It saved my hand from being bruised as I landed on my hand first. I also installed and electronic horn now. Whenever I see a dog at the side of the road I'll start beeping even from far away. I've seen worst crash but that one crash of mine literally gave me trauma of dogs walking beside roads.
Yeah, I used to do a backroads downhill run trying to hit 40 plus mph...I think?. In retrospect it was utter madness as there was no way to stop in time if something came the other way as there simply wasn't the visibility. There was a 90 degree anticamber bend towards the top of the hill and I was trying to get more speed so I took it fast and ended up drifting into the hedge. Got a 3 stripe scar on my upper arm from the brambles but my hands were okay cause I was wearing gloves.
100% wear gloves if you are cycling, because there is a good chance if you come off they are going to come in contact with something.
Separation of skin from penis a reality..aka taking the glove off..
Apart from the amazing speed, what strikes me as an active transportation advocate is how efficient that bike is in transporting a single person, while all around are large cars each carrying a single person far less efficiently.
the bike is far more expensive than your basic second hand toyota, not to mention the physically hard work put in to be able to ride like that in the first place. not surprising which choice is more practical for 99% of the population. though of course im all for the cycling commute. i do it myself
@@megumi_0 A used $500 road bike will achieve 90% of the performance of a high end bike. Though your point about the required physical exertion is very true.
@@malfunction2390 dude i'm not taking a 500 dollar bike with some no name hubs at 80+
@@sinuosalice-1434 do you know how much you can get in the used market for $500?
@@megumi_0no insurance, no fuel, far less expensive servicing cost, no registration fee, much lower parking cost (if any). Cycling is much more practical than driving in urban environments so long as street design is not solely catered to the car.
Long term fan but this will end in tears with no light on your bike racing through a tunnel like that dressed in black.
The whole time I was thinking I'd be in the brightest neon kit with 5 rear lights, and 3 fronts, and driver's would think I'm having a rave on the bike. Going unnoticed and getting taken out is just a matter of time
I have a bike perhaps 30 times cheaper yet I still spent £220 on my high end bike lights because I knew they’re a necessity.
That's why he has the chase rider I'm assuming, for the takeoff in the case, and to keep the rear clear
Crazy Video Safa!! The adrenaline rush just from watching the video , cant imagine what you were feeling!!
Damn man, every overtake just made me laugh, I can't imagine the astonishment of those islanders being overtaken by a skinny guy on a bike and that mom van sure boost up the aero advantage. 👍
Some fifty years ago, my maths teacher (a young priest) was stopped and given an ear-lashing after overtaking a police car on his clanky old push bike.
Yes, quite cool to see how much speed he got from the drag. Even going above the 90kmh speed limit. tsk tsk, what a bad example to set lul
Human power vs. Engine power
It's really interesting to see how you can push the limits of speed on a bike, and it's best for all of use mortals to only watch Brian's videos and not dare to do what he does.
I did an 80 km/h descent before, I could have gone even faster, bat at those speeds on a bike you're just flying meat and I was more scared than excited. You're relying 90% on the fact the pavement is alright, no cracks or holes, your bike is alright and there's no traffic. One small stone or an unforeseen pothole (which I had the pleasure of experiencing at lower speeds) under the front wheel, at that speed, could end everything. Stay safe!
Didn't know bike tires were even rated for those kinds of speeds. Amazing!
Yeah right.. man still pedaling on 80kmh what the heck
most bike tires are only for 50 km/h or similar. But racing bike tires are rated for much higher speeds. On certain roads it is possible for a good trained rider to achieve 100 km/h on a racing bike.
@@technikchaotdudo mucho, las mtb bajan a esa velocidad y las llantas no tienen problemas
I have ridden at speeds like that on many descents. Never had any problems. A well-maintained bicycle is more than capable of handling it.
@@technikchaot nah im not sure buddy.
i used to ride a basic MTB and i hit 92 kmph once, i couldnt believe but yeah it did happend and its totally possible
love the urban rides.
That was Awesome! Would love to have a commute like that!
The unsung heroes of these videos are the camerapeople who don't get to decide to brake, whenever safa commits, they have to commit too
It's a motorbike I think
@@blablabla1000able still pretty impressive
@@blablabla1000able can hear it at the start. It also allows his rear to stay clear which is pretty important
Such a refreshing video, Thank You😇
It's very dangerous to go on bike in the tunnel. It's an enclosed space so blast of air from a passing truck can throw you against the wall.
Yep
Not if you ride above the trucks limiter
dude, awesome upload, I am going stir crazy at work, this is exactly what I needed!! thank you for blessing us with the upload
That's awesome. Respect, respect.
insane. hope you live long. and have a lot of fun doing that
2:00 - 2:15 I was afraid just to watch this 😂
when you draft like this you just give your life in the cardrivers hands for that moment
@@ast3362 all it takes is a touch on the brakes and he will end up in his trunk or flying over 😄
This video needs in-car footage of drivers' reactions to seeing this insanity next to/passing them 🤘🤘
I love this dude sending you the best
Very nice roll. Wish I had descents like that here to rip down!! Well done guys.
Imma be late for work now because I had to watch this. Totally nuts going that close at that speed!
Hope you stuck to under 40mph on your cycling commute to work.
Safa exploding out of those tunnels like Lewis Hamilton in Monaco
Insane ride!!! ⚡⚡⚡
this is madness. THIS IS SAFA!
same speed as cars
amazing as always
stay safe and healthy
when I ran elite in Italy, during training sessions we used to chase back trucks at more that 100Kmph on highways... Despite the danger it was encouraged by trainers since it was considered an optimal excercise for simulating some extreme racing conditions.
At that time it was also trendy chasing the team van before and after the races: from home to the start, from the finish to home... sometimes much more distance than the race itself.
That was called pacing either by motor cycle or a vehicle
@@zarsvirus7321 Actually, in Italian we call it "dietro motore". Once I hit my pacing car and I performed a perfect somersault together with the bike...
@@peterdecupis8296 ok
Outstanding!!
Wowww! Insane speed!!
I didn't know that I could hold my breath for 3:37mins. Amazing speed 😍😍😍
You sir have some serious balls! Kudos on slip streaming behind randos rather than a mates truck where it would be so much easier.. this is genuine. Subscribed!
Be sure to visit his funeral if you admire his recklessness so much.
When you're illegally cycling on a highway, randos is all you can count on :D
Excelente video adrenalina pura
SALUDOS🇲🇽
A few weeks ago, I just bought myself a slightly used Subaru BRZ sports coupe from a friend of mine in perfect condition and was ecstatic with it. - My first real sports car! But after watching a few videos of your awesome rides, I came to appreciate bicycling and my road bike even more than before!
Brian you're amazing! I wonder what's in your bottle out there? Energizer batteries acid or what?
I love speeding on my road-bike too. Did bit over 70 once or twice, but no - never at that traffic! Scary to think if any of them would do something weird (slam the brakes).
Pretty cool video man. I started riding a bike in Los Angeles recently and it's a lot harder and dangerous than it looks. Anytime I go over 20mph I feel like I'm going to crash and die or someone going to hit me in their car. Much respect for what you guys do.
SoCal drivers are nuts! And they are on their phones, even with your own bike lane you are taking your life in your hands everytime you ride.
Awesome effort. We don't put out that kind of power but it's easy to reach those speeds on a tandem. We've done just under a 100 a few times but not in traffic
Wow man, be safe! this looks amazing but so dangerous
This is a machine 💪🏼😄
How likes bike packing and cooking videos in Austria 😊
Outdoor cooking
I felt a lot of nerves at minute 1:59 dude, that's very risky, a sudden brakes from the minivan, and that would be all. :(
That looks incredibly satisfying. I’d be doing this everyday if I lived there. It’s obviously a lot steeper than it looks.
👏 great - like this - more pls !!! 😃
crazy stuff! May I suggest a Radar taillight (Garmin or Magene)? Looking over your shoulder at 85km/h (drafting a car) leaves you somewhat vulnerable...
I suggest Magicshine. The best and brightest I’ve seen.
i Suggest not riding on a highway which is highly ilegal to do here in Madeira/Portugal
Same thought. Garmin radar would be so much safer.
He can't use a Garmin cause it would constantly remind him that it's not legal to cycle on a highway :P
Man, imagine coming off your bike at that speed! 😳
Nice cycling bro!! Well done!!
Once again making my heart explode with pure joy. Safa you n I are truly kindred souls.
This is CRAZY and So Dangerous !
Dude watch Ghostrider’s Uppsala Run video on the GSXR 1000 from back in the day….this was nothing in comparison
Savage riding!!!
Thats just crazy, tears every video
I was pushing my head lower and squeezing my shoulders tighter through the first tunnel. Hope it made the aerodynamics better 😄
love your riding so much, keep going. crazy how dangerous it gets with that speed to check back, i can see your bike wobble. your a fcking hero
You misspelled "moron".
Wouldn't fancy doing that on gravel tyres! Epic clip.
Fantastic...Kudos....
what the f... this is just crazy!!!, bit dangerous too!, imagine one of the divers suddenly use the brakes... very adictive to see though!!!. btw which camera and mic are you guys using? looks amazing
So badass! Reminds me of your older videos on a fixed gear, super raw! Total carnage!
Total badass! Balls!
This is F ing Awesome
Got the same speed (92km/h) without danger cars in front, but that's years ago. Now I have family and wanna live.
I did a 53.2 mph downhill run before in the pitch dark down a bridge. But I was on a bike path. This dude is nutzzzz
I gotta watch that again!
Amazing!!
i just got a road bike. this is incredibly dangerous. he is putting a lot of faith in the other drivers and the quality of the road.
i'm taking notes on his tuck tho
don't underestimate what 20 years experience can do to your confidence on the roads lol
Very cool and dangerous. Roads are made for this. Last move to exit after passing that fiat punto was extremely dangerous but Safa made it look so easy. Best wishes man.
He made eye contact with the driver and signalled before he did it.
Who can't pass a Punto lbh 🤣🤣
Yes a rather silly move to overtake and then cut off in front of the Punto.....safer just to back up for the exit but hey it is Safa.
wowwww nice! awesome!! 😍😍😍
that was SICK!
Pumping over 500w like that.....legs of steel :D
I have 2 questions 1, why there is no tail lights on bike (not having makes it dangerous), 2 which software you use for the speed and power in video
I'm surprised your tires didn't overheat. Imagine the other drivers reaction as you pulled up or passed them.
Their reactions must be ''what an idiot he is''
Oh dear oh dear...Have you heard about tires with kevlar? Just sayin'...
Amazing!
That was awesome
Pure awesomeness 😍❤️💪
In a tunnel, wearing black with no lights. Good luck when they say “Sorry mate, I didn’t see you” as you pick up your teeth.
Wow. Thrilling just watching
That is nuts !!!
3:17: That was a little close. As cool as this looks, it must be highly illegal and it's frankly very dangerous.
It looks close to you because you're viewing it from your phone. But actually it wasn't close at all. He looked back and timed the vehicle passing him. He knew exactly what he was doing. Because he was able to catch a bit of draft. He's very skilled.
@@yishaithegift9953 He's certainly very skilled. He can trust his own skills, but not other drivers.
@@marks4471 As a cyclist you have to trust other drivers to some degree. I live in Miami. And I ride in the streets. You have to be very alert. But you have to trust the drivers too. To be honest it's pure instincts when you're out there. Just pray you make it home in one piece because Lord I'm RIDING!
@@yishaithegift9953 lol keep trusting others...until the day.
@@Mr.Deeds. Same is said for people who travel by plane. You trust the plane won't malfunction, trust the pilot. You put your life at risk. But you never really know do you? Until the day...
That's flat out insane! Can't wait till I get a bike where I can get up to those speeds.
A recumbent or velocar can do it with the reduced areo drag pretty easily. However that won't save you if a driver makes a stupid move.
@@garyp.7501 As cyclist we realize the potential for getting hit by a stupid driver is high. We just trust our instincts, skills, and pray the lord has a specialized tarmac in heaven waiting for me.
Wow. Those were some scary speeds on that run
That draft behind the van! 💯 💪
I love this man! I want to be like him when I grow.... a pair like that!!!!
A pair of brain cells? I seriously doubt he has more than one.
Now let's see the commute home!
Going there next month :)
Respect brother!
This is so sickk
I'm an older guy and I am an avid roadrider- I can say that is the most terrifyingly dangerous stunt I've ever seen-
So...
- Dressed pitch black in a non-so-good-illuminated tunnel.
- No red flashing tailight.
- Have you thought if you slipped on the junction of the bridge? At 90 kph on a trafficated street, I don't know if the ambulance would have found all the pieces of your body... maybe they picked you up with a spoon.
- Still pedaling at 85 kph (where do you have to go man...?);
- Staying at 30cm in tucked position behind a mini-van while braking, and seeing ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING of what's happening ahead (maybe all the cars have to brake immediately, and he smashes against it in 2 seconds?).
- Playing with death all the time.
Man... make cool videos, but in other ways. I tell you for your life.
Even with my expensive bike lights 200 lumen in the back, 3K lumen in the front, I still feel insecure that someone won’t see me while I’m riding yet he does it comfortably.
Also disrespect for those driver and other cyclist... very bad example of a good cyclist need to be, when general people talk about the cyclist they have a good one with this behaviour.
100% ilegal ride in Europe.
@@DavidGonzalezGarcia car drivers have the possibility to be anger against us watching this… 🙄
black kit, no lights WTF !!! at least try to be seen, more ninja cyclists wanting to be hit,
My goodness this is dangerous same at speed those vehicles thats insane woooo you're amazing dude
Crazy! I need to try that one day. 😅
I don't know what country he was riding in, but the white line on the right looks like a non-motorized lane. I would love to watch him go downhill or chase the speed on a car-free road, but IMHO riding on this kind of urban expressway in the video is very irresponsible for the safety of his own life and the property safety of others.
Madeira Island, Portugal. This is a freeway, no bicycles allowed
He's an extremely skilled rider that's obvious but he's also very disrespectful and besides I can tell you in the states that would be illegal as hell.
Nothing illegal there let alone disrespectful. Roads are for traffic not for internal combustion traffic.
This is very, very, very illegal. This is the freeway that runs across Madeira Island, only traffic with more than 50cc engine is allowed. No bikes, no mopeds.
He's from the states, and all he does is this
It's also illegal as hell where it was filmed. The locals don't do this, why should this guy come over a give a bad name to cyclists in Portugal?
Great video! I’ve dialled down on the speed as there are too many variables to continue risking it. Somehow remaining upright as a Wood Pigeon got caught in my front wheel at 65 kph (lotta feathers!) was my particular wake up call.
The shadows are amazing
It's sad that people feel the need to put their lives at such great risk in order to get CZcams views.
If anyone knows sad…it’s probably you.
@@ccuellar6212 You nailed it! 😭😭😭
