BBC Story here www.bbc.co.uk EDP Article www.edp24.co.uk This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride! Off-ride footage here www.youtube.com Note – for websites linking the video, please note that my name is David Ellis (the J is my middle initial). WARNING – I have ridden almost 900 roller coasters around the world and am highly experienced with on-ride filming…so don’t try to copy this. Coasters are fun, but taking risks could be dangerous. So always ride safely and abide by the operator’s instructions and ride rules!

@ QueenB4Life – I rode it once with a little braking, and then rode it without braking on my second ride. . . We only had an hour at the resort so did not have the luxury of more rides. I am experienced at all kinds of riding and coasters? Thrill rides, and certainly would not recommend others trying to do this without holding it firmly with both hands.
