The Indonesian island of Bali is largely known as a tropical paradise with some amazing surfing opportunities. But, it turns out it has some fantastic mountain biking as well as you’ll see in this beautiful video. The riders in the 3+ minute clip shred single track, plummet down the side of a volcano, and generally find surprisingly good places to ride wherever they go. I doubt that mountain biking will supplant surfing as a top adventure sport in Bali anytime soon, but it is nice to know that there are opportunities available there.
