We know many of you, our faithful readers, fancy yourselves as moto heads. And we get it: it takes skill to ride these beastly machines, especially dirt bikes. There’s so much weight transfer, bike knowledge, and experience involved. Dirt bikes can get to places that, well, places that maybe they shouldn’t.
Like this guy for example. “(This was a) mishap on the climb up Schofield Pass, near Crested Butte, Colorado on September 4, 2019,” wrote Rick Hogge. “The video is long but thought it best to leave nearly uncut. It shows the descent, anxiety at the bottom and then a partial climb. What follows is the off-path madness and splashdown into the punchbowl. I was completely uninjured and climbed out within 15 minutes of the incident.”
It’s nuts. Devil’s Punchbowl(s) is a set of waterfalls famous in Colorado whitewater circles. It’s a fairly popular park-and-huck for kayakers. The pool is obviously deep. We parked the video above at the 5:19 mark, where the madness starts. Feel free to watch the entire video. And be sure to check out the video chronicling the recovery of Hogge’s motorcycle.
