Furka Pass (east) - Switzerland raw runs [#3]
Спорт
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...

I love these videos... No boring commentary, no obnoxious background music, no fancy graphics. Cycling and KZread in its purest form. This is what YT was for back in the day.

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 😂😂😂

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.

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.

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.
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!
That POV is insane ! Outstanding !
Very pleasant. God bless you for practicing this sport You have brought back my enthusiasm, thank you
Amazing view and awesome descend! Thank you for sharing the video.
The view on the 1st minute, amazing, i should definitely visit this country someday.
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
Amazing Safa ! I really enjoy these videos 🚲
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 descent and congratulations to both of you for the progression but the landscape is spectacular.nice video, well fine👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🦾🫡
only a few weeks and the pass will be open. Can't wait to get there
This guy is living life on the edge
Well, that got my heart rate going! Thanks, Safa.
Thank u Brian. Excellent dude. Congratulations. I continue to recommend and watch with pleasure. From Türkiye with hello dude.
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.
SAFA and Taylor make a Great Team. 🤩
Amazing, I love your videos it inspired me to get a bike and start Cycling. I m still slow 😅😅 but it's really fun

Probably because motorists are afraid of meeting cyclists like this and being charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
the sheer sound of gears changing and the sound of friction of the chain while he powers is surreal
I would just drive slow and enjoy the view! It looks so peaceful
I did this twice with my tour bike! Its an amazing ride, also up on the other side :)
Perfect place to ride a bike🙂
I love the scenery.
Beautiful place, great performance ❤
Switzerland is heaven in the world. Thx for video.
and now back to the top of the hill
This is totally awesome guys 👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome view!
This is my bike way dream - just WOW! Best regards from Poland : )
A wonderful video!
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! 🤩

That view straight out like elden ring 😍😍 , what a beautiful scenery
Sound is Smooth like Butter 🫠
Perfect flow 🏆🏆🏆
Add to my bucket list to visit there
nice scenery, nice ride~
the amount of trust one must have in their gear to hit these speeds... unreal.
Watching this on tv man this is bananas
awesome video best cycling i;ve ever watch on youtube.
I am enjoying the view here
Just pure amazing
Nowt like Switzerland for scenery..getting balance points is what it's all about for me which varies with speed/turning angles..
Spectacular
Brilliant!
very beautiful sense
Amazing.
Amazing 🫣👍
This is so beautiful ,amazing mindblowing natural beauty❤️❤️❤️
My mind is completely blown…. Brother Safa once again you inspire the soul of it all. This was brilliant!!!
I saw Darwin waiting after some of the blind bends
Amazing
Awesome!!!
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.
Beautiful nature 🥰😲😲
Thats the World in its own beauty. Wow:)
Insane!
What a beautiful country
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!
I feel that the camera man is even more skillful with constant distant from the biker and super stable camera view.

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
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 :-)
👑Great safa👑
Very Cool!
