Red Bull X-Alps May Be the Most Euro Thing Ever

Jul 12, 2017 By: Max Ritter

While we are celebrating our summers riding bikes and drinking beer by the lake, a crew of European hardmen is currently racing what may be the hardest endurance race ever conceived. Red Bull X-Alps, a 700-mile race across the Alps from east to west in which athletes are only allowed to travel on foot or by paraglider, is currently going off across the pond.

There is no set course, only checkpoints (usually atop high mountains) that need to be reached by a set time in order to stay in the race. This means that competitors will typically cover far more than the minimum straight-line distance between the start and finish lines.

This year, 31 athletes started from Salzburg, Austria on July 2, and will finish in Monaco within the next few days. Check out the highlights from the latest day of racing.

There’s really not much to say about this other than the fact  that nature can be pretty freakin’ rad, putting on light shows that make Red Rocks look like child’s play. For those of you lucky enough to have seen the Northern Lights in person, good for you, for everyone else this might be the best film we’ve ever seen capturing their surreal beauty. Filmmaker and astrophotographer Adrien Mauduit spent 10 days hanging out in the Arctic Circle to capture the Aurora Borealis at its finest,

Start the Weekend with this Whipper

First, you need to watch this video all the way through to truly appreciate what a spectacular whipper this is. We’re not sure what’s more impressive– the solitary foot that desperately clings to the rock as this climber loses his battle against the force of gravity, or the fact that this guy survived unscathed. A healthy reminder to wear your helmet, for the most unexpected of whippers.

Valentin Delluc Only Needs Four Turns For Mont-Blanc

Valentin Delluc Only Needs Four Turns For Mont-Blanc

For those who are always getting heckled by the speed wranglers, maybe it’s a sign that inbounds skiing is no longer your thing? Perhaps it’s time for bigger and better pastures. And to that end, may we present Valentin Delluc. Delluc is avid Speedrider—the French Champion in fact—and now cruises over the slopes of Mont-Blanc like nobody’s business. In his latest clip with Red Bull, he might have only made four turns to cover the more than 7,000 feet of vertical, but hey, he’s going as fast
