Although we mere mortals will disagree, downhill mountain bike trails are too easy for many a world-class rider. Namely, the worse half of the competitors are adapted. That's why mountain biker Dan Atherton set up the world's hardest downhill mountain bike course - the Red Bull Hardline - in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. The third competition was recently held there. Why this scary nickname sticks to her, you can see in the video, which was recorded by her creator with a head camera. Our hearts dropped in our pants while watching, and you're guaranteed to too!
Red Bull Hardline applies to the hardest downhill mountain bike course in the world. There's no disputing that, and when you watch the first-person descent captured on GoPro Dan Atherton, you will only be able to bow deeply to all the competitors who dare to fight each other on such a puzzling route. Track in Snowdonia (Wales) was put right by Atherton.

The Red Bull Hardline course that is full of daring jumps and it requires from the competitor not only 100% concentration and excellent steering, but also a j**k the size of Russia, does not allow mistakes, because anyone who indulges in a crash here ends up not only on the ground, but in an ambulance. That's exactly why Red Bull Hardline takes place after the end of the competition season, when the contestants can indulge in a bit of exhibitionism and overestimation of their own abilities. He won the Red Bull Hardline 2016 downhill race Bernard Kerr, Ruaridh Cunningham, who defended last year's victory and is a member of the Slovenian team Unior Tools Team, was second this time. He was the third Adam Brayton.
