DEEP TROUBLE: Runaway Motorcycle on a Costa Rica Mountain Road
About this episode
One of the most frightening situations a rider can face is realizing the bike won’t slow down on a long, steep mountain descent. That’s exactly what happened to Seth Cooper in Costa Rica. In this episode of DEEP TROUBLE, Seth shares how a rented KTM 690 Enduro R, an unfamiliar mountain road, and a series of seemingly manageable decisions combined to create a genuine survival situation. It's a story about risk, assumptions, bike condition, route choice, and how options can disappear faster than you expect.
