Some of the craziest bunch of animals I have ever seen! Screaming down Snowmass Mountain as fast as they can, over rocks, roots, washouts and over dirt and wooden ramps. Blast the Mass was this past weekend at snowmass. Featuring bike racing from cross-country to Down Hill. The later being the more burly for sure. We positioned ourselves at a few different spots to watch the races, we made our way to the bottom of the waterfall (no actual water involved, most likely named that as most people tumble down it as water would) to watch the Pro division. This steep technical section is made even more difficult by the fact that you are riding on loose gravel, down a 35 – 40 degree pitch with big boulders and roots and a 90 degree turn at the bottom. Crazy! They definitely were not doing it on a bike they rented at a local aspen ski shop.
