Guys - try again.

YouTube seems to have hiccuped.

Hell yeah! I got goosebumps just watching that again. Thanks Tommy. That's a good look at some of the road's ~30 miles. Next time, I'll need to move my camera forward (a la Snake video) to minimize the wind noise. Still, looks pretty impressive.

That business is off the hook boys.

Cool video, looks like some nice roads 

I will not reveal where it is for everyone's safety.

Gee thanks for making this decision for everyone

If you had ridden that road, you would agree.

If you had ridden that road, you would agree.

I don't disagree that the road looked intense and that warning should be given.  But to decide for everyone like that?  I don't think I would've done the same, but that doesn't matter.  Looks like it was a lot of fun and technical.

I don't think we're not saying what road it is for people's safety, while that may be a part of it... we're not saying what road it is because this being the internet, that road will have a name and a reputation before be can get to ride it again. Seeing as how it's 3 times longer than the Dragon, probably 10 times more technical people would travel from near and far to ride it. Next thing you know, it's full of cops and squids crossing the double yellow, a Killboy set up with a "resort" placed at the end... all of which to something no good.

I found this road by looking at a map. There's no mention of it on any internet forum, nor is there any video of it (until now).

While we were there, we saw virtually NO traffic, and this includes bikes.

On our next trip down there (which will hopefully be soon), wouldn't you want to ride it as "virgin" as possible?

Pak - That's a direct quote from the YouTube description.  What I tell the interwebs and what I tell to the NYMMC are two different things - I was just being supremely lazy with my post.

Besides, I already told you yesterday what road it is...

I can understand not wanting it to become too congested and popular.  That will sometimes ruin future experiences on any road.

Sorry i didn't realize, thanks for clarifying.

Another thing about this road...

It's hyper technical with absolutely ZERO room for error. For 30 miles you go from redline to full on the brakes, then back to redline every 5 seconds (you can hear my bike howling in the video). Your back end will break loose at least 20 times during the course of the 30 miles ride. The video unfortunately doesn't capture the extreme elevation changes this road has.
If you ride with good form and proper technique you need to turn your head more than 180° in order to look through the corner, and you'll need to do this more than a few hundred times - and those are just some of the corners.

From 2 runs down this road my brake pads went from a decent 80% to a "need to change out ASAP" ~15%. This road is no joke. I've never been challenged like that on anything 2 wheels before, this includes all the mx riding, dh racing, and bmxing I've done.

That road looks amazing to ride !  It does not seem to have a long straight away, I have nott seen a route like it until now ... constant short twist and turns throughout, now I'm personally calling it "The Squiggly"

great find, GC 

[Cru Jones]

There are some straights between the mountains & a few sweepers, but we didn't want to post 4 videos. Besides, sweepers look boring on a video too.

What you see is a glimpse into the road that is without a doubt the most challenging & fun road that I've ever ridden. I put our two runs on the road as my #1 & #3 best motorcycle rides (#2 being the ride with GC & Pat earlier in the summer).

Another awesome thing about this road... the speed limit it 55 mph!

I was riding somewhere in the neighborhood of ~90% the first time we through this road and I doubt we ever broke the speed limit.

On the 2nd run through we ran it faster sine we knew what to expect and even then, we only broke the speed limit on the less twisty downhill runs. Not that it matters since there in literally nobody and nothing around and there's no place for popo to hide even if they decided to patrol the area which as it stands would be highly selassie. I mean unlikely.

im gonna run the license plate number of those cars on that road and call them and ask them what road it is then im gonna post it on every board including killboy!
