Red bull rampage is live, if you've never seen or heard of this you're in for a treat.

Here's the Livestream

So basically this is an event where a dozen or so of the best riders are flown into some cliffs in utah for a week, they build their own line down the mountain with a small crew, and then they hit it I think twice during the event today. It's scored on style points but really it's not so much a competition as it is a bunch of pros doing poo poo that seems insane even to other pros and they're all friends excited to see what each other throw down.





I'm posting this in GBS because I think it's a wild thing that people outside of the bike scene would enjoy watching.

:spooky:Warning:spooky:

If you watch this live you're extremely likely to see someone get hurt. These are 50+ foot drops and guys are doing backflips etc off them. They know what they're getting into and they all want to be there. Some people are already out of the event from crashes in practice.

So people's tires are all falling off because they're landing rotational tricks not perfectly straight and the force unseats the tire from the rim.
