Krivan Peak, elevation 8,186ft, is a mountain in the High Tatras in Slovakia. A true icon for the local Slovakians, it is a classic hiking destination… but not many people would even think about mountain biking down it!

You need to check out the trials-y, big-mountain riding in this video. And yes, you bet it’s steep!
