DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Nice helmet cam footage of ErzbergRodeo 2016

Looks like most of the trails Skinny-J has planed for us in Colorado this year.




















OK, that dude just did 15 hours worth of riding (for me) in 15 minutes...

Love to see Graham come out on top. It would have been a lot more interesting if Johny was riding though; the last couple of years between those 2 have been epic!

Maybe one day I will win the lottery and field a DAMN Erzberg team; we might be able to make the first check point....

That rock garden at the end looked almost as hard as 495

Some of those sections of Erzburg look like absolute carnage. Some of the hill climbs, I think "I might be able to do that..." But then factored in with 200 other guys vying for the same position on the hill and making 10X harder. Crazy stuff. Fun to watch. Not sure how much Id want to do it. Even on SJ's lotto ticket.

My whole family watched it with me live (red bull tv on the roku). You can watch live on http://www.redbull.tv too. I think romaniacs is next in july. I expect we'll watch that one live too.

I was kind of amazed that my wife and daughters sat through the whole thing and actually enjoyed it. While a lot of it is more extreme than the stuff I normally ride it did give them a better feel for the kind of stuff I like to ride than I've been able to show them before. The helicopter shots in particular give a much better sense of what the hill climbs are like. The hill climbs on the mined section look a lot like the climbs in the mining areas in central PA. It's been a long time since I've done one of those (back when there was a tower city club).

"...Yeah baby, we ride stuff like this all the time..."

It's interesting to see the gear spread in the WFO access road sections. It's pretty short and tight. He is an amazing rider. I believe that last bit of hell is Carl's Diner.

Ha ha, that sort of thing hasn't worked in decades, and possibly never worked. ;)
