Extreme

The Red Bull Rampage is an annual mountain biking competition here in Virgin, Utah. This was the 12th edition and is fast becoming a very popular event worldwide. These extreme riders defy the laws of gravity and common sense physics. Einstein would have trouble figuring out how these mountain bikers do what they do. As some nearby dudes said, it was gnarley, rad, sick and massive. The photos pretty much give you a good idea of the competition and scene. SPOILER ALERT- Kurt Sorge won the event for an unprecedented third time. This competition was filmed and will be shown on NBC on December 24th.

They filmed the event from the hills, helicopters and drones.

Riding uphill would be a lot harder than downhill?

Below is a aerial view of the course which shows massive dropoffs!

Or one narley ride by Antoine Bizet who was the crowd’s choice as the winner.

As Death Valley has come to life this winter with its large floral display, Badwater Basin is where the flowers don’t flourish. Badwater Basin is probably where Death Valley got its name. Nothing lives there. These salt flats cover some 200 square miles and provide little hope for life. The salt is a result of the hot and arid climate in the park that evaporates any moisture, leaving only the salt behind. At 282 feet below sea level, Badwater is the lowest point in North America, thus creating extremes in temperatures and dryness.

Wildflowers dominate the landscape at Badwater Basin at Death Valley National Park, California — Wildflowers grow up to the fringes of Badwater Basin, but no further.
