Why I don't want to ride portal trail...

A photo essay by G.B. Wetzel.

Chris says:

I found this video as well.  It actually looks somewhat safer from the rider's perspective.

Just for the record, I am not nearly as determined to ride the portal trail as I am The Whole Enchilada...

What part of that video made you feel "safer" especially @ 1:46 when he passes his buddy on the outside then cautiously goes through those rocks that lead to cliff. I'm determined to not ride that trail.  Plus utahmountainbiking.com's trail description says that its a 1000' climb up to the portal trail and that "Intermediate riders can find some stuff they'll like, but most likely they'll walk their bike much of the way down."  Climb up + walk down = not cool. 

Ahhh, now thats better.  Cold sweats going away.
