What a rush that must be.
Like a flying five minute sled ride.
Where did this take place?

Where did this take place?

Based on the sign at the beginning it appears to start at Grimsel Pass, in the Alps in southern Switzerland.

He starts in the lower right corner at A.

From a quick Google search.

The Grimsel Pass in Switzerland, usually open from June to October, links the Hasli Valley in Bernese Oberland with the Goms Valley in the Valais.
On the Bernese side it leads up through a wild and rugged landscape characterized by grey-green granite and reservoirs with mighty dams, used for hydroelectricity, to the pass head at 2165 metres altitude.
It then snakes down on the Valais side to Gletsch in Obergoms.

At one time the narrow and dangerous pass was used by traders and pack animals to transport Swiss cheese to Piedmont in northern Italy.
In turn, the same route was used to bring, wine, rice, maize and leather into Switzerland.

Today’s well-developed road is part of the popular Grimsel, Furka and Susten three-passes tour, much loved by motorists, motorcyclists and even bikers with enough puff and stamina

Very cool. Too much kinetic energy for me to be in charge of personally, but very cool.

I think I have seen something similar to that somwhere, but not as cool. I am sure that is a crazy rush. I wonder if the guy peed himself when that motorcycle went by.
