No, this is not a Red Bull advertisement.

But I happened to watch a Red Bull mountain bike challenge on one of the
TV's while I was on the treadmill at the gym, and while I'm not a mountain
bike rider, I have to give credit to those that can ride challenging terrain
(and come away still intact).

And while I was searching for the clip online, I happened to come across
a gallery of Red Bull extreme sport photos for 2018. One or two good shots
in the collection.

Saw a recent online discussion, mountain bike racers were complaining that the tracks are getting too easy now and are insufficiently demanding.

The suggestion was made that they should park their super expensive, fully suspended, crafted from exotic material bike in the shed. Instead they should tackle the tracks on their old steel unsuspended bikes to put the challenge back. Also the dudes whinging are probably elite level or close, and the tracks they find disappointing are more than challenging enough for mere mortals.

I had some sympathy with that argument but now I'm off to view Viking's clips.
