My brain wasn't expecting that, and I actually said, "WHOOAAA" out loud when he did that. It looked like if he fell right, it was a 100+ foot fall. SKETCH.

      I mean, sure, carrying a full-sus bike is tedious (it's not an e-bike BTW, that's just Santa Cruz' rear suspension design), and over these rocks it's pretty difficult. But it's not something most accomplished&fit climbers couldn't also handle.
      The carrying part is _nowhere near_ as remarkable as his riding down, which is just total madness.
      And: I doubt they actually used a helicopter much for getting up. Most of the work for this video was probably “research” to find the best way to ride down, and practicing the dangerous parts (i.e. _all_ parts) a bunch of times, with safety mats lying around and maybe security rope and whatnot. That would have taken a lot of time during which the helicopter wouldn't be needed, and helicopters are _expensive_ - even for a star like him.
