NO FEAR, in a big way... mind you most have broken lots and lots of bones to get there... still even more NO FEAR after experiencing all that pain; recovering from an AC smash atm, I can only imagine how painful some of that is, not for me - great spectator sport though.

Watch the rampage off the 4 hours on redbull live, the final verdict was a washout, strait did an amazing run but the 3 guys especially zink and mcgerry both pulled off some stupid big tricks. A 72ft back flip and a back flip down the 70 odd ft icon sendor...100% I wouldn't be doing anything that extreme but I'm out most weekends on some of the big trail centres around the uk.

I'm in Nuffield hospice next Monday for my shoulder rebuilding after an off on some DH courses, cannot wait to get back on the bike after gonna be gutted not been able to get out on the bike.

Watched this over and over again -

How much for the winner
How much do they get for just trying?

That's tougher than any F1 I've watched  :rolleye:

iirc in 2008 it was $10k for the winner, pretty lame really... let's hope it's a lot more now. :happy2:
