Ahh… gravity. She’s a harsh mistress in many of the active sports that we all enjoy. Take for example mountain biking and the Red Bull Rampage which is set to go down tomorrow. It’s a free riding competition that takes place near Zion National Park, outside of Virgin, Utah, on some of the really great trails in that area. Many of those trails are not for the faint of heart however, as the video below shows. It’s a collection of some of the more spectacular crashes from past events that will leave you cringing.
Thanks to The Adventure Life for another great video. Lots of fun. Mostly because I’m not one of these guys.

haha. those are some wild crashes, and like you i'm glad it wasn't me.
HOLY CRAP! My deductible is WAY too high for that kind of riding!
Same here Bruce! And I know I'd need to use my insurance if I even tried this.
