Some people will do anything for a little attention. In the case of pro riders Nate Hills and Kyle Mears, it’s riding their bikes as close as possible to the edge of the ~400 foot cliff that borders Moab, Utah’s famed Gold Bar Rim trail. Hills’ advice to any would-be copycats: Don’t even think of falling left and don’t ride these lines in the wind. Ya think…
