- A cycling experience that will never be forgotten by either Taylor or myself. We showed up to the Furka Pass expecting to ride the more popular western side but the sunlight on the east facing side lured us over. Hear more about the ride with commentary here: • The World's Most Beaut...

Just the sound of the gear shifting is so satisfying.
true story
I love these videos... No boring commentary, no obnoxious background music, no fancy graphics. Cycling and TH-cam in its purest form.
This is what YT was for back in the day.
me too i love this video
+1
Right
Less YT bs
Yes you tube without the shock faces on every thumbnail appealing to 8 year olds giving clicks..
It's pointless to say don't try this at home so I'll just say to every cyclist who watches this: learn what "target fixation" is and how to avoid it. These two (and all pros) are masters of not fixating on dangers in the road (especially oncoming cars) and finding the safe line in those situations. Good life advice too.
You mitigate dangers as best you can. Tire blow outs, carbon failures, animals , anomalies, etc. When it’s your time. It’s your time. Peace
Good shout, can still remember being coached in my XC days into not looking where you don't want to.. Still think about it now on any techy or sketchy riding
@@roadglide exactly this. There are times where things happen unexpected. Just last week i went around a blind bend and a truck was there taking over the whole path. Lucky there is a grass to go onto. My fault. If I can’t see ahead then i shouldn’t assume empty. My bike crash last year was an equipment failure and I flew off the bike, snapped the collar bone. Hell when i see the cliff in this vid, I’m tempt to fly off mentally so I don’t have to hear my wife’s nagging anymore 😂😂😂

@@aaron___6014 I’ve never tried riding like this. I can also guarantee that I will never try riding like this after reading the comment.
Watching this in 4k in the morning has given me a smile for the day 😎 the image quality is amazing, well done for the superb ride !
Thanks
Absolutely stunning scenery! Loved how you could see down into the valley and even some of the lower hairpins as you descended.
5:10 This is insane to make that overcom in the corner, (at almost 70km.h) These boys are risking their lives with these descents in tight turns.There is a saying, once it works, the second time, it works, but the third time, it can just go, and at such speeds, no one saves you, if some car was comming from the opposite direction it will be AMEN AND GO TO HEAVEN.
Al cielo?si la vida es un regalo de Dios,para que crees que quiera Dios gente irresponsable que no cuida su vida.Estos van derechito pero al panteón.Eclesiastes 9:10
Yep. It happened to me in 1998. Last year I was finally able to drive downhill again... you are right, a car or anything comes, you are not able to stop. It didn't worth it. I was young, too brave... I lost so many years, and missed cycling. Be sure you are able stop in any circumstances
They can risk their own lives as much as they like. But at 12:28 they are risking other peoples lives. There is usually a reason why there is a 30 km/h speed limit in a village. But who cares, they blast through the village full speed, respect is for wimps. Reckless, not funny. And what for? Less than 10 Seconds later they finish their run anyway. Plain stupid.
Well said, these selfish people really piss me off. Just to satisfy their own pleasure and put so many unnecessary people at risk along with them.
@@glpxtAgree. Selfish
Wow! Just wow! I drove from Milan to Lucerne last fall and visited all the famous spots in the region. Roads are insane. The never ending tunnels … it’s just heavenly. To be honest at some spots I was scared driving on the mountains and these riders are fearless and a so freakishly good.
That POV is insane ! Outstanding !
Jealous of all the amazing roads you get to ride! That scenery and lighting is so gorgeous it almost looks CG!
Yeah it almost looks real!🤦♂️
Amazing Safa ! I really enjoy these videos 🚲
Such a beautiful scenery...the appearence of , sky,sun light and colors...wow , ,any time one gets winter blues it just disappeares...
The view is stunning. Glad I stumbled upon the SAFA Brain channel because your videos take me on a journey to different locations through road biking. Watching the SAFA Brain videos puts me in a relaxing mood because I love seeing pro cyclists ride on the open road. Keep up the good work!
Amazing view and awesome descend! Thank you for sharing the video.
Well, that got my heart rate going! Thanks, Safa.
Very pleasant. God bless you for practicing this sport
You have brought back my enthusiasm, thank you
Absolutely stunning!
SAFA and Taylor make a Great Team. 🤩
The footage is amazing. The view is just awsome.
5:11 wasn’t necessary to risk your life for that shot. Stunning scenery tho!
They're both dumb. And eventually dumb peoples luck runs out
ye same with the redlight, stupid af
Blud doesn't know about drones
Peaceful video. Love this
Perfect place to ride a bike🙂
Thank u Brian. Excellent dude. Congratulations. I continue to recommend and watch with pleasure. From Türkiye with hello dude.
Beautiful descent and congratulations to both of you for the progression but the landscape is spectacular.nice video, well fine👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🦾🫡
Superb, descent and footage too, nice work lads
Not a second in this video that isn't completely gorgeous and picture-esque. Dope as hell man!
My palms are sweaty just watching this! That was amazing
Yo si estoy espantado muy rápidos y las curvas impresionantes
The view on the 1st minute, amazing, i should definitely visit this country someday.
Amazing, I love your videos it inspired me to get a bike and start Cycling.
I m still slow 😅😅 but it's really fun
This guy is living life on the edge
I am enjoying the view here
and now back to the top of the hill
I did this yesterday and GrimselPass the day before, both are utterly magnificent and just enormous to the eye. The peaks still have snow on them right now and my god is it something to behold, I stopped to take it all in and it is incomprehensible to the mind. Man its hard to not look at them when youre descending but I tell ya if you look for 2-3 secs too long youre a goner
Beautiful place, great performance ❤
Switzerland is heaven in the world. Thx for video.
A moment of appreciation for the guy shooting the video ... amazing. .. And to the Swiss people , you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country ... Cheers!!! For guys like me from Kenya , I can only envy you.
Add to my bucket list to visit there
This is about as perfect as cycling can get!
No cars would be perfection.
I love the scenery.
only a few weeks and the pass will be open. Can't wait to get there
Perfect flow 🏆🏆🏆
Watching this on tv
man this is bananas
This is totally awesome guys 👍🏽👍🏽
the sheer sound of gears changing and the sound of friction of the chain while he powers is surreal
the amount of trust one must have in their gear to hit these speeds... unreal.
Wow what a ride! What a road! Amazing from top to bottom.
My mind is completely blown…. Brother Safa once again you inspire the soul of it all. This was brilliant!!!
Amazing 🎉 I wish to get there
A wonderful video!
Sound is Smooth like Butter 🫠
Awesome view!
I would just drive slow and enjoy the view! It looks so peaceful
6:13 red is for every vehicle , not just for cars, the car on the opposite direction has green, so the crash is justa a inch away, you like adrenaline to the max, but life?
I did this twice with my tour bike! Its an amazing ride, also up on the other side :)
awesome video best cycling i;ve ever watch on youtube.
That view straight out like elden ring 😍😍 , what a beautiful scenery
such high polish! the universe thanks you
y'all are nuts omg
just drove a very similar style but very short one yesterday, so let me tell you about fear. There is no fear, there is just pure joy and euphoria. You are so high on emotions and so focused on the bike that it becomes your limb extension. There is an enormous control over the bike so most of the situations are pretty safe. The rest is beyond your influence anyway
Spectacular
Just pure amazing
Brilliant!
Lifetime goals
nice scenery, nice ride~
This is my bike way dream - just WOW! Best regards from Poland : )
amazing how little traffic. Did the Furka a few years back, love this road
Probably because motorists are afraid of meeting cyclists like this and being charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
12:37 exactly my reaction when I got to the bottom into Realp (the town at the bottom)...most satisfying euphoric feeling ever
Espetacular parabéns.
I would have done ”Mary Poppins” from first corner with these speeds.. and gone To The Moon! before crashing spectaculary on the hill.. crazy smooth ride! 🤩
👑Great safa👑
Amazing.
I would never get balls to do this in my bicycle which is pretty simple. Imagine the own wheel getting the bicycle in the downhill when there is not even fence on the road. I would love to fly and stop in those hard stones right below 😂👏 nice video by the way
What a beautiful country
That turn at 5:09 was pure suicide!
yeah my first thought was wow thats moronic
One of them will get killed one day. All it takes is for something to come out on the road like a stray dog and it's goodnight!
And stones on the road, I can't imagine, the consequences! But awesome video lol
Amazing
Stay safe , Keep Living the Dream..
Amazing 🫣👍
I understand the need and effect of throwing a knee out in the direction of turn, to reduce wind drag, sit on the seat. Place your knees together point toes forward with heels in. Hands under the handle bar head tucked down. I used a mirror over the front wheel I could see the road from. Hairpins I would begin early from the very outside to the center the to the outside mimicing the outer edge of the road.
very beautiful sense
Beautiful nature 🥰😲😲
Insane!
Nowt like Switzerland for scenery..getting balance points is what it's all about for me which varies with speed/turning angles..
I saw Darwin waiting after some of the blind bends
Awesome!!!
Thats the World in its own beauty. Wow:)
This is so beautiful ,amazing mindblowing natural beauty❤️❤️❤️
Few, if none, have noticed the flash at @12:35 coming from the house on the right. Riding through at village at 65 kph warrants a ticket for speeding :-)
is a great videos, like others have written already but you should respect the trafic rules as well, it is good for all others as well, thx mate
holy cow I gotta go there on day
beautiful
hace unos años subí ese puerto !!precioso!!
Dangerous! That's beautiful road!
Cameraman never die
I did this descent last year. That lack of barriers. You’d fly and drop HUNDREDS of feet if you missed a hairpin.
Have you done the Gavia to Ponte di Legno descent? If you like danger, that’s for you.
Single track. No barriers, huge drops. Very easy to die on.
I followed a couple of motorbikes down, so was well in control. Only felt scared later when I remembered it!
Very Cool!
The sound 😍😍😎😎
와 기가맥히네요👍👍👍
Oh... I believed the rider, and also I believed the road, that's amazing place... ✌️✌️✌️
awesome
good job
It's crazy to me that maybe six months ago I would watch these and find them terrifying and beyond anything I could ever do... Now I'm doing descents sometimes longer than this, though not quite as fast and with less dramatic dropoffs.
Glad you spelt that correctly.
