I really think there should be a short story/article written here. Yeah I know where this is and I have raced here multiple times but if you want more people to come and race and it be known. Pinkbike needs details such as payouts, location, amenities etc
To anyone else, this is Bootleg Canyon about a half hour southeast of Las Vegas right off lake Mead. It is very rough unforgiving terrain that this Reel Camera cant help you understand. This is a DH course as its chunky. There are hotels very close as well as Vegas. They have food trucks out daily at the site if you wanted to come watch and its hosted by downhillmike.com
my friend told me he was going to race at Bootleg...I asked if I could have his bike after he died. haha jokes, good luck and have fun to everyone racing there, that place is no joke but it's always a good time riding and partying there
Nice course preview Quinten. I was on the hill this last weekend and the trails are super fast. The Mob race this weekend is gonna be awesome. Thanks for posting a preview.
Im so sick of watching footage shot from a RPOV. It shows nothing - who cares?! Film the rider. Film the rider riding the sh#t outa the new bad ass bike he is trying so hard to sell. Film the damn bike or dont film at all.
most painful place to go down i have ever ridden. knives-shaped rocks sticking out of the ground left and right of the trail... actually on the trail too... just waiting t pierce your tires and body armor. In one word: Nasty
I doubt the camera does that justice but from what i can make out i'm unsprised khs are developing a 29er dh bike.
Looks like a fast one. If utterly boring to watch
you say that, but you wouldn't.
I thought the same when I raced it last month. I was SADLY mistaken. The upper section is without a doubt one of the gnarliest sections in the US
I will pay to watch you suffer there tbrown. The bottom half is a bit pedally but even if you rode just the bottom half your teeth will rattle out on a XC IF you could carry any speed.
