Here's what it's like to conquer Red Bull ... my bike was prepped, and I’d even made a few training runs up a nearby mountain road to make sure my legs could still handle a hill.

Think tech deck mini skateboards but in bike form. Anyway, Red Bull invited the preeminent finger biker, David Jones, out to Hardline to check out the event and recreate it with finger biking.

Red Bull Rampage has been called the Super Bowl of mountain biking, and we're not here to disagree. Every fall, the event feels a lot like the grand finale to the North American freeride season ...
