Today we're shooting an impossible climb.
We don't really know if it's going to work.
Classic stunts without a hill.
Maybe it's a world's first.
So what if I fall off?
Easy to do world's first if it's a stupid idea.
You done much climbing before, Casey?
Oh, a bit.
On a bike?
Uh.
The idea is Casey climbing a really steep,
like impossibly steep slab.
Rope is attached to the front of her bike.
It's going through a pulley.
And I would run downhill down this cliff face
while she gets pulled up this one.
You ready to start walking up?
Yeah.
It looks so silly.
So silly, it just might work.
We call this a slingshot.
I'm down.
It might just work.
Yeah, we're in vertical mode.
The dad cam flip out screen is pretty key.
Hopefully no one gets dragged up a rock face today.
Anyways, we'll see how it goes.
Different kinds of nerves going into this,
because I was like, what is it going to be like?
Yeah, like am I going to get slingshotted up a mountain
just like that?
Yeah, am I going to get dragged across the granite?
I like free ride, and this looks like a free ride to me.
I'm ready when you are.
You can stop any time.
Yeah, kind of.
Nice.
And stop.
Yeah, she got it on the first try.
Made it look easy.
Coming down.
First ascent.
That feels good.
First ascent.
Have something new to put on my resume.
Your pedaling is pretty sick.
Yeah, it's totally perfect, because it's like, is it real?
All right, dropping up.
