Red Bull 5000 Down

When it comes to mountain bike races, few are as crazy as the Red Bull 5000 Down, which took place in Whistler, British Columbia last weekend. The race begins with a mass start at the top, and all 250 riders in a mad dash to the finish line. Mix in some snow and fog, and you have all the conditions you need for wild event. Check out the video below for a glimpse of the fun.

Thanks to the Wend Blog for tipping me off to this. I'd never seen this race before. Crazy!
