Meet the Athertons - MTB Royal Family shred a Quarry

Meet the Athertons, Rachel, Dan and Gee. These guys have made quite the name for themselves on the Downhill World Tour, but when they are on downtime, they like to retire to their sleepy Welsh village, where they happen to have some crazy training areas. Check out the mental lines in this quarry...

World's Highest Urban MTB Downhill Race - Red Bull Descenso del Condor 2012

The World's highest and possibly most mental Downhill MTB race is back, the Red Bull Descenso del Condor. What an appropriately grand sounding name for such an event, haha. Riders charge down the side of a mountain, that just happens to have a town on it. Climatize yourself with the first video and then open your adrenal floodgates by riding along in Video 2.

Filip Polc wins the Red Bull Descenso del Cóndor, the highest urban downhill race in the world in the Bolivian city of La Paz. An itinerary that started at a height of 4,050 meters above sea level and ended 1.6 kilometers below at 3,600 meters.

Best Product Video ever... The new GoPro Hero3 Black Edition

I have been patiently waiting to see what the new Gopro was going to be like. The launch video is pretty amazing, as are the functions and stats for the new cameras. You can check those out at GoPro.
In the meantime watch the Hero3 launch video and be amazed... (Oh and I recommend watching in HD and full screen.)

This video will blow your mind! I thought I had seen it all in MTB, but what these guys are doing going down a sandy mountain side, defies description. Just watch the video...

The maddest Freeride event of the year went down in Utah over the weekend, with Kurt Sorge, ending up as Red Bull Rampage champion for 2012. The limits these guys push on this crazy course defy description.

Medieval Mountain Biking at the Nine Knights

Just when you think they cannot possibly go much bigger with MTB Freeride, along comes the Nine Knights event. The course is absolutely ridiculous and the riders are pushing the boundaries with the size of their tricks.

Watch what happens when professional mountain bike rider's Niki Leitner, Amir Kabbani, Cam McCaul, Yannick Granieri, Martin Soderstrom, Geoff Gulevich, Kurt Sorge, Cam Zink, Andreu Lacondeguy and Andi Wittmann cross paths with a medieval castle style MTB course.

MTB goes Slopestyle with Red Bull Joyride 2012

Red Bull bring you the most crazy MTB event of all time, the Joyride. Just check out the size of some of the tricks and obstacles. Must be one of the biggest backflips ever done on a bicycle during this event...
