When normal singletrack trails and downhill mountain bike parks don’t do it for you anymore, where do you go to get your adrenaline fix? If you ask GoPro athlete and enduro and freeride mountain bike rider Kilian Bron, he’d tell you to head east to the Himalayas. Bron recently went there in search of some of the steepest lines and most remote mountain bike rides in the world. And he found them.
In this clip from GoPro’s series Draw Your Lines, Bron climbs a 15,000-foot peak. He carries his bike all the way to the top, traversing a ridgeline as he approaches his descent location. Then, he drops into a chute, fires out onto an open slope covered in scree, and rips his way downhill, with the famous Annapurna massif in the background. It’s a legendary line — the kind that mountain bikers dream of.
