RE: Motocross. Returning to the abandoned mine and finding MUCH more. (Full length video)
Wow! I can't believe those mine tunnels are just open like that, this sort of thing would definitely be gated off it seems like in the US. Loved the video, great combination of the drone shots of the area and the biking through the tunnels. Really an amazing adventure post all around, the barefoot scramble up the nearly sheer rock wall with huge honeycombs at the top is awesome as well!

Hi Carl @carlgnash, thank you for your comment- it's always great to get noticed by the Curie team.
Yes I would be very happy for you to use my content in your Author Showcase :) I will look you up on Discord to add a brief statement about myself- if that fails I will let you know here.
Apparently there are loads of mines around there just like this one, it's just really hard to find any information about them. A few other locations I went to have had locked bars on the entrance while others only go in about 50 meters. This one was a great find.
There's another mine/tunnel I am trying to find out about (and post about), it's called 'smugglers tunnel' and was a secret tunnel that stretched from Thailand into Burma to illegally trade gem stones many years ago. I heard it's just big enough to squeeze a truck down and is a good few kilometers long. It's on my list!
Thanks again and glad you enjoyed the video.
Chris
