Hey Trail Bangers and welcome back. This weekend we went to Windrock Bike Park in Oliver Spring, TN. For the Downhill SOutheast series. Windrock is the nastiest park with gnar gnar, the drops, the jumps and the things that break people. Not to scare you but be ready if you go to this park.
This was also the opening race for the Southeast Downhill Series. First trail is Talladega and then it was the race coarse. Well if your reading this you must like to Cycle and have good time.

Today, we're gonna hit a Red Bull feature.
So we are here with Mr. Ricky.
Both of us are pretty afraid of this place.
All the rest of our friends are pretty chill about it,
and they're all just going with the flow,
and me and Ricky are scared shitless.
Yep, yep, you gotta sack up.
And there's a Red Bull drop that I wanna make myself do,
but all of this is scary.
Like, this is the only park that I warn people about
is Wind Rock, because ---- be jacked.
Just way big, you're coming around corners,
rock gardens, two, three foot drops.
If you're not cool with three foot rock drops
into a rock garden, maybe this isn't the place for you.
But if you are, or you're just interested
to see if you die or not,
then this would be really good for you.
Let's bring some safety gear.
All right, well, let's go ahead and get in our first run
and see if we can give her some.

Trail Pups?
Are you a Dead Pups?
Is that who you are?

Oh, and I'm at Wind Rock,
because the Downhill Southeast Series is here,
and Wind Rock's kicking off the first stop.
What? What's happening?
What's going on?
What is this?
What's going on? You have to get in here, huh?
Who's here, huh? Who's here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's up? What's up?
Everything okay?
Hey, bro. Hey, what's up?
How's it going? How are you?
Whoo-wee!
This is Walker. He weighs 65 pounds,
and he's on a 35-pound bike.
Come on, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it!
Whoo!
65-pound man sending it.
Yeah. Nice, Walker.
I like the way you're opening it up.
Nice job, little man. Thank you.
These guys, they just keep on, they're like,
yeah, all day shuttle lap.
Go, go, shuttle.
Shuttle send.
Shuttle send. Feed me juice boxes.
There you go. Walk.
A little tight switchback.
Watch this step down right here.
Whoa.
Oh, dude.
You want to just get up there and do it?
I don't care.
At least the Red Bull drop?
Sure.
All right, let's follow it up.
We're going up.
Where are you going, man?
You guys have fun.
Those are the ones on that next one.
We'll stop.
So, Walker, what are you going to do?
You want me to tow you off of it?
I mean, you're going to tow me, or I'm going to tow you.
All right, I'm just going to go for it.
All right, guys, here we go.
Stupid idea number 35.
Nobody's towed me off this thing.
I'm just going to go for it and see what happens.
Maybe. I don't know.
I might hit it.
We're going to find out.
One more time, Trevor.
Hit the Red Bull drop.
Landon, you going to hit this Red Bull drop now?
Oh, yeah.
Peer pressure?
Right behind it.
Peer pressure?
Brock, what do you think about the Red Bull drop?
I'm not hitting that.
Yeah.
Oh, hell no.
Check out Brock's new whip.
I'm pretty jealous.
The new Santa Cruz V10.
Camping has been an essential part of all the trips I've been taking and really put
a special touch on every one of them.
Waking up to perfect race day conditions doesn't happen very often.
So there won't be much footage of this part of the video just because nerves are high.
We're in the middle of these pits of everybody.
About to get geared up and get some runs in and shoot this race.
Single crown for the win.
Woo!
We're headed up to the last shuttle up for the day for the race run.
It's going to be awesome.
Woo!
Look, guys.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Three, two, three.
Woo!
I think you need a five second countdown.
Brock can go anywhere in there.
Yeah.
Got a rider 61 in the start gate.
You've got 30 seconds.
Five, four.
What's up?
Oh, yeah.
I'm recording.
So, yeah.
This is a crazy race.
A lot of off-cambers that you've already seen.
Hopefully the audio is coming out great.
And if not, maybe I'm not even recording.
That is the last heat.
The single crown for the win.
People on the trail are always cool.
The energy is so high.
It's crazy.
Woo!
Oh, tight turn.
Big rock around me.
Oh!
Give me that big tuck.
Oh!
Oh, I'm in the right rut.
First Mesa.
Mesa rock garden avoided.
Oh, two-finger braking already.
Oh, inside line.
I'm tired, guys.
I'm tired.
Oh, ----.
This is so sketchy.
Oh!
That's why the sketchies drop the whole race.
Oh!
Mountain goat!
Oh, I'm sure as ---- is.
Oh, man.
Single crown class.
Oh, ----.
This ---- is super blown out.
Oh!
Oh, ----.
Oh.
Oh!
That was the first time I hit that step-up.
Crazy big.
Ah, so I got a 4.31 coming down.
Landy told me that people are getting under three minutes.
A little on the slow side compared to everybody else.
But you know what?
I ended up hitting the step-up.
So the step-up was cool.
Let's check it out.
I'm just, I'm out of breath, excited, crazy, hit this giant jump again, so.
Dude, what are you, are you waiting for me to crash?
So you're saying you're not looking for them, but you're just aware that you missed them all.
Yeah.
Yeah, we all want to see people crash.
Come on.
Even if you're our friend, we want to see you crash.
Just don't be hurt, though.
Exactly.
You know?
Let's get lined up to watch these pros send it.
And here's a few more shots for a couple riders that I got awesome angles for.
So it looks like we are going to be wrapping up this race.
I had a really good time.
Nobody that I knew actually crashed.
Jeremy, with a flat tire, still beat me with 40 seconds.
Everybody had a really good time, and I can't wait to come back and enjoy this.
I'm seeing some more in the next race, if I can.
Maybe I'll push it some more.
Who knows?
But don't forget, pedal a little harder, don't touch the brakes, and we'll see you on the next adventure.
