A short clip from my journey , coming down the mountains in Montenegro .
I understand that this looks crazy , what a lunatic , and no one will probably get with me in a car ever .
Then let me explain a thing , that truck was on it's brakes the whole way down forcing me to use my brakes to , all the time . Witch is not the best way to go down a slope in a car with oil pressured brakes , they will heat up and stop working or you at least will loose brake power ending up missing a u turn . The right way is to use engine braking , and as third gear braking has a max speed of 45 km/h due to the refs (engine brakes best between 2000 and 3500 rpm ) fourth gear is the best for heading down a mountain , speed is then controlled between 75 and 85 km/h while the normal brakes are spared so when really needed they still work .
I do not recommend anyone to go where i have bin going , unless , like me , it makes you feel alive .
Fear is what kills , fear is an enemy . ..... lot's of focus and yes , some luck , made me get where i wanted to be .

Enjoy life fully , peace to all .
