LIGURIA, Italy – Why walk down the stairs when you can bike down the stairs? Several reasons, really, but there are none that’ll stop Jonny Livorti from sending this rough-looking staircase in Italy. I can say confidently that that’s not something I’ll ever be doing, but it’s something I love watching. For this ride, Livorti earned himself the $1,000 GoPro award.
“Full sends only from Jonny Livorti. He earned a $1,000 GoPro Award for this mind-boggling 360° POV footage of his staircase ride overlooking the Italian Riviera. Speed, finesse + bravery were just a few of the things Livorti needed to accomplish this daredevil mountain biking descent in Liguria, Italy. Why hike when you can mountain bike?“
Liguria is, as you can tell based on the video, a region lodged between mountains and ocean. It runs from the Italian border with southern France to Tuscany, featuring cities like Imperia, Sevona, Genoa, and La Spezia. There’s tons of mountain biking in the region (including plenty of rides that aren’t on stairs), so if you’re searching for a good mountain bike based vacation along the Mediterranean, this could be a good option.
