Mountain Biking is my personal favorite way to bike. From biking singletrack (walking path type trails) to wide flowy jump trails at a downhill park, I love all of it. The sport on a low level is relatively safe, as long as you stay within your skill level and don't push yourself too quickly. However, one event that happens yearly is quite the opposite. Going by the name of Red Bull Rampage it is an event that everyone should watch at least a small portion of.
Redbull Rampage is an event for only the extraordinary, the pure adrenaline junkies who leap before they look. Taking place just outside of Zion National Park in virgin Utah. The invitation only event typically runs on a dusty red cliff native to the area. Riders invited to the event will be brought to the sight weeks in advance to build the course. These opportunity for the riders to build their own lines opens up many possibilities for creativity and for the event to always be unique. Additionally, the features the riders built tend to be as gnarly and scary as possible, making it just a feat to make it from top to bottom. On top of that, the riders push their limits throwing flips and spins off of these massive deadly features.
