Morning
The first thing that comes to mind is that he (she) must be mental followed by another quick thought, he (she) must be mental.
I wonder what speeds were reached because he seemed to be reeling in the motorbikes and passing them easily and I hope for there sake that there was a long straight stretch to slow down on at the end!!

I've been up and down the Grimselpass a fair few times, but never like this! Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Claude.

That's insane. I wonder what type of vehicle the camera was mounted on.

Probably another insane follower's helmet Not knowing anything about it until now, and noticing that there were no cars comin up the pass, it may well have been a staged event, filmed by a support bike.StuartR wrote:That's insane. I wonder what type of vehicle the camera was mounted on.
I used to do stuff like that on a sleigh in wintertime, no cars then
Cheers, Claude.

There was, quite obviously, a helicopter or other vehicle taking shots parallel to the road.Claude wrote:... it may well have been a staged event, filmed by a support bike. ...
My two thoughts, both focused on visibility.
(1) When you are that low to the ground, your look-ahead options are severely restricted. Think "Giraffe", or at least "Hond Civic vs. 18-wheeler"
(2) When you are that low to the ground, oncoming traffic's visibility is severely restricted. Think "Oh look! A snake on the road up ahead".

Perhaps then you can explain the kangaroo crossing warning on the sign.

Re: Why are these people still in the gene pool?
