This is most likely the most insane curved wall ride on the planet. The area where you drop off of this thing hovers around 15 to 17 feet. To flat concrete.

Seconds after this photo was taken, the landing broke a brand new set of crank arms.
This is just bad ass!

It's only 3' wide, and at a weird angle. Pretty much impossible to do. He went well past it.

No, that was Nico. I turn the other way. I have hit a bridge similar to this, but the set-up is different, and it isn't nearly as epic.

It was not in etnies grounded. It was in Etnies Forward. It's a different bridge in Grounded.

It's also in Etnies Forward. To my knowledge, only three riders have ever hit this bridge.
This bridge was not in Etnies Grounded. However, there is another bridge very similar that is in that film.

No, he didn't. Sandy Carson did in "Etnies FORWARD". Ruben did a different bridge further down the coast from this one in "Etnies GROUNDED".

coming up short at the high speed it must take to make it up around that bend would be a real nice feeling face first into the support :X
