Careerstdnt  > Other > Last Man Standing 2007
Mike, Joel, Vince and myself made the trip up. It was a good time and well done event. The fog pushed the start back from 10am to 11:30 which left us a bit miffed but what the hell, Red Bull needs the aerial footage and that's that! Once the event started it was pretty fun. Despite it being a 40 mile course which took the lead guy over three hours to negotiate, there were only four places where spectators could see the action. God knows there must be so much more out on the course to see but it is just too fat to walk or drive the little trams. We decided they have created a great course but they need to work out the kinks a bit more for the spectators.

Careerstdnt > Making the 180 to get out of this meatgrinder!
Careerstdnt > The watercooled bikes took a beating.  One several occassions you would hear a "POP" and then the smell of coolant would just fill the air! They would just pin it and keep going!
Careerstdnt > One of my favorite shots! He is working up on the second shelf of the waterfall. The rock was very slick and he was having issues with his cooling system.
Careerstdnt > These guys were working so hard on a section that was about 100 feet long. Only 39 miles, 5,730 feet to go!
Careerstdnt > The guy in the back just dropped into the waterfall. The other guy is waiting for is turn to destroy his bike, himself, or both.
Careerstdnt > After getting up the waterfall, the guys would make the 180 turn to exit. Most of them would stop and you could see their chest heave as they took a deep breath to power up the bank and out. Out and onto god knows what!
Careerstdnt > Trying to negotiate the waterfall.
Careerstdnt > He tried to take the direct route up the fall - which is up 4 feet to the next ledge. Did not make it and took the alternate route.
