Quite possibly my favorite descent ever ridden. It’s not often you get to hold speeds this high for so long, and to do it through a gigantic valley dropping in from the clouds, quite unbelievable. A day to remember with Taylor Dawson sticking to my wheel like glue down the Susten.

He’s gonna end up dead way to many risks
breathtaking 😍
wow this is so crazy, what a thrill
10:08, Berner, one of the most dangerous driver in the moutains 😀
Great ride once again 😉 How is the foil ultimate vs your previous Addict RC pro (better everywhere) ?
I guess this guy has never gone down and broken bones.😢 This is crazy. No thanks.
The chain rub 😢😢😢
Spectacular! ⛰️ 🤙
The pass of the camper had me stressed especially on a 65 inch screen
Nothing better to watch on the trainer. Much love ❤
That IS a nice road, otherwise flying into those tunnels at 45 mph would be pretty scary (maybe still is)!
As a Swiss, for me the Susten is the most beautiful pass to ride with the bike of the big ones (like Nufenen, Grimsel, Furka, Gotthard, etc.). Climbing from the western side (from Innertkirchen, very scenic) and descending to the east (like here to Wassen, great stretches to pick up speed as evident from this magnificent film by Brian) is the best option. On weekends the road is busy with tourist cars and motor bikes, but on week days it is usually very quite. The reason is that the Susten is not a main north-south route crossing the alps, but rather a west-east road connecting two not so populated regions. The modern road was build in WWII as a militarily strategic connection and there is an inscription near the top of the pass „In ernster Zeit dem Frieden geweiht." in „In serious times dedicated to peace.“
I got goosebumps watching this video
👍👏👏👏💪🚴♂️🇷🇸
10:36
Beautiful scenery and nice biking
Which bycycle is this???
He uses only air breaks
멋지네요!!
Just came down to LA with the road bike to chase some of your videos, maybe over to Switzerland next.
Such a majestic road, this and Nivolet are my favourites
That overtake gave me an Ulcer!
Mad Bike Skills!
👌🔥🔥🔥
I love how you squeeze every km/h, maximum attack 😍🔥👏
Man and machine in perfect harmony
Sketchy af. I hope people don't get inspired by this.
looks beautiful, but as someone scared of heights I don't think I would dare go anywhere as fast as that
There is a guy riding behind him just to film him? lmao
I'm always mindblown not only by the incredible precision but also by the amount of power put through in those inclines. Great descent.
There is always a minivan moron…
Absolutely beautiful, and amazing how fast you can go down hill. But how do you not get speed wobbles at those speeds. Is it the wheel that keeps it straight because they're deep wheels and the wind makes them straighten out?
10:37 WOAH!
Sexy
this is heaven for me
That blue VW was not nice
HOLY SHIT! 70 KMH!!!!! It's hard. I felt very uncomfortable with such speed.
that's simply insane
As someone who originates from the climbing community, hammering descents like this feels quite similar to free soloing. It rarely goes wrong but if it does, then that's that… And as with soloing, if it does go wrong, it does so for reasons that you cannot control (like a cow crossing the road). So I wish you luck.
Wow, amazing skill and bravoure. But I condemn your on road behavior severely and politely. Other traffic users are made an involuntary participant in a dangerous situation because of your lack of adhering to basic traffic laws. Taking a risk with your own live does not mean you are allowed to endanger other people.
Great views and great riding skills! But in the same time, I have very mixed feelings about it in general. Yes, the car driver around 10:15 is obviously an asshole but your approaching there is also questionable since you do not care about safety distance at all. And the according overtaking was simply crazy as was the overtaking of the bus. There could had been one small additional car in front of the bus and then suddenly occuring approaching traffic, for instance motorbikes with around 100kph, could have been a desaster.
