Madeira is truly a paradise. All around stunning views.

Could almost feel the Portuguese sea breeze on my face while sitting comfortably at home in Korea. Amazing ride Safa!

Basically a codename cuz you don't want people to know your real name. That is the best way to hide a name in an online platform.

I love this videos, no music, no editing. Just a guy and his bike.

Yeah. The simplicity makes it really beautiful and humble. He's a solid guy for what he just did and he sounds so modest. His parents raised him well.

Damn, if Safa says "that was stressful" after a descent and is constantly avoiding crossing into the other lane and alternating brakes you know it's bad. Probably the only thing worse than descending that road is having to climb it

It’s insane! I thought the same thing - very little did the camera reflect just how steep that decent had to have been. He decended more than _one vertical mile_ in less than 24 minutes! That’s like going from Denver, Colorado to the beach in California altitude-wise. Your ears would pop so much on that ride!

OMG, I was reaching for the brakes as you got down into the built up areas. Total respect and you lived to tell the tail.

OMG, I have not been on the edge of my seat like this since I watched you on Las Flores! Man you got nerves of steel and the skills to run through town at that speed and survive to post the tale!

This place is so beautiful. WOW! I can't get enough of it.

13:20 The red light, is red light for you as well...

Got to congratulate you! I'm actually from Madeira and that's a really difficult path to do, even for cars, because you can't be too soft or too eager on the breaks and seeing you complete it was amazing! Be sure to ride safe and get more of these cool runs!

Holy cow this run was mesmerizing, exhilarating, and downright stressful at times. I swear there were more jump scares than a horror film. Amazing run Safa, glad you got down safe, with speed!

U need to follow trafic laws, that red light u bypassed on the cronstruction work could be dangerous

respect! that was insane!... first speedbumb in funchal caught me offguard 😵‍💫

Beautiful run in a beautiful place! Portugal is gorgeous! Now I have a reason to get back there! 😎

I was on the edge of my seat for the narrow roads. Incredible.

Heart stopping, heart pounding. Grande cajones

breath taking view, mad skill, the descend god showed us how it's done!!!! damn, I've got chills on my spine and adrenaline rush on the same time, you've done it again Sir!!!

No way.. that was 24 minutes? I get to the end and check how long that was, that felt like it was over in an instant, what a run.

oh woww it's therapeutic to watch

Man, I have been watching the clips lately a lot but this one by far the most dangerous one... steep curves but also heavy chaotic traffic! Be safe..

Crazy ride. How many red lights did you pass?

My man just ignores traffic laws 😅 Savage

That was fun and super nice i love it.

I feel like watching a thriller movie. So glad that u are still alive🫣

wow amazing

it was fun to see you riding down the road i do everyday to go to work :D

Its nice to see that Brian is now slowing down at every curves. Maybe he got some lessons

Outstanding landscape, lovely road, perfect run ❤❤❤ we have some roads over here if you are in this neck of the woods, alpine roads 😁

Legend!

It is amazing to see but very scary to watch you ride this one knowing that at any moment things can go totally wrong lol.

Fantastic work. And I’m glad my freewheel noise is incidental,(and doesn’t sound like a maimed animal).

Excellent video. Theonly thing that I don´t like is the freehub sound. The views, the road and the bike looks amazing. Big hug from Mallorca, Spain.

Watching this made me miss Latigo rd descent in Malibu and La Honda descent in Redwood City

That free-hub noise would drive me insane 😂

As always, cool to see! Imagine this road as wide as there in USA! Here in Europe, mountain regions have lots of cool roads, but they're pretty narrow. You won't make it to 60 mph. Not very likely. Well, maybe with a death wish...

I've been in Madeira some weeks ago. I was telling myself "there's no way I can descend on the streets of funchal on a bike", man you blow my mind!

This was like a scary movie.

nice bike there🤟❤️

Epic! ❤‍🔥

Crazy

Yeah.... The camera don't do justice to how steep that road is... You should do the descent from Encumeada to São Vicente . It's also a blast. 👍

I just imagine how good and hard is climbing all of that road

Nice view down the road! Wonder how the wind noise was barely picked up.

insane

Soooooper beautiful place also with cleaning.... One day I'll come for ride

Hey SAFA! Great video as usual! Does the brakes sounds like that cause they are cold or they just broke lol

Casually taking a sip of water. 😅👌🏻

Now I want to get there on that island and walk around it

Well, now I know Shimano's new RT-CL900's still warp under prolonged heat~ I have the same rotors and they have been fine for my slow ass haha SAFA needs motocross disc brakes! But to be fair Shimano's new rotors held up way better than the previous model as you can clearly see in SAFA's video here!

Red lights? No, thank you. Safe distance? No, thank you. Full speed downhill? YES ! 😅

How do you got to the top? climbing up?

It looks faster on film but great decent, beautiful scenery……

Nice one, but Madeiras final boss descend is perhaps the boca da corrida-Estreito de câmara de lobos road 🫡

I live on the island of Madeira. and I think you risked too much. the roads here are very narrow for the movement that has in addition to having many irregularities. and that red one you passed, you were lucky there wasn't a policeman because it's normal for them to be on the works and here they are not very friendly with cyclists.

I’m from here!

You should visit La Palma in the Canary Islands Spain.

Have you never been in Chiang Mai, Thailand? The El Dorado for cyclists. The local mountain, Doi Suthep, would be great for you. Wide road and smooth bends. The highest spot of Thailand, Doi Inthanon, has a 40km decent, but they closed the downhill for cyclist now. Or you just risk a fine and do it 😆😁

Nerve-wracking
