extreme mountain biking for the ... gag reflex?

[Darren Dirt]

I felt all sorts of vertigo in many of the "car" scenes in "Tower Heist" (esp. with the windows, as well as the elevator shaft).

But check out this video of dangerous biking ... it has kinda the same impact on my tummy, I actually expressed aloud my discomfort as I watched. @ the 1- and 3-minute marks especially.

One comment: "I was leaning to the left the whole time watching this." INDEED!

That's pretty crazy, reminds me of disc golf in the badlands...

The fisheye lens certainly enhances the feeling.

Yeah, it seems a little steeper than it really is.  However, it's still really steep if you fall to the right!

[Mr. Analog]

Yep, one bump on the rocks or slide of gravel and you're going to the hospital...

^ hospital would be of no use to your resulting physical condition, if you took a fall @ certain locations of the journey, by the looks of it...

[Mr. Analog]

I doubt it would be a direct trip the morgue...
