Mud, sweat and tears

Whistler Mountain Bike Park ... the pinnacle of a mountain bike rider. Most of the shots in mtb videos or in magazines are taken here. This is literraly a Mecca in the world of oversized handlebars, knobby tires and 6"-7" travel forks. The mountain trails are full in the summer. But what about in the autumn ?

Each year in september, RedBull organizes a mass start downhill race to the bottom of the mountain, where 250 men and women battle the snow and mud. It's called "RedBull 5000", been running for only 2 years, so it's pretty new. The images tell the tale of massive mud, massive crashes and massive fun.
