Beautiful nature photography for those that could less about the sickest bicycle contest in the world:

Yeah! That video is excellent. There's another from the bird's perspective. They mounted a camera on it.

Here is Gee's run from the Rampage 2012. He came in second. I love the super steep descent right in the middle:

Great sound in this:

I want to mount something up with my digital recorder but I'm afraid I'll just crash & bust it all up.
