Red Bull Rampage Evolution - More Digging
Another blistering hot day of digging is what was in store for most riders today at Rampage. Temperatures once again soared north of 100 degrees F, so hot in fact that most riders didn't ride until very late in the day (5:30PM+) if at all.
Read on,Many riders got their lines dialed and put the finishing touches on them, while others got most of their grunt work done and are hoping to ride tomorrow. There are some massive lines about to go down, check out where Canada's Kenny Smith is going below...

Yup, that's the line right down the middle, it is absolutely gigantic and even Kenny doesn't want to push his luck, saying only "It's one of those lines you only want to do once."
It is so hot and dusty here, even the staging areas are being watered down to keep the choking dust to a minimum. There's a very limited supply of water on site, and it has to be trucked in, so this will give you an idea of how bad the dust can actually get.
Water up here does more than keep the dust down, it's pretty crucial to make sure your line stays put for the next couple of days. No water and it'll be crumbling. The buggy with the water tank on the back is the most popular vehicle in town.
Gee Atherton, Stevie Bell, Justin Frey and Clay Porter start to get Gee's lines dialed, way way up high off of ridge one.
Tools are everywhere this week. Keep an eye on the ground, or you may turn into a cartoon and get a shovel handle in the face.

"PDT", regardless of what the pinkbike says, because that area is on "daylight" time, just like most, but not all, of North America. Daylight time is always + 1 hour. The Pacific time zone is normally 8 hours ahead of UST/GMT. During DST, pacific is -7 GMT, and London is +1 GMT, equaling an 8 hour difference. In standard time, pacific is +8 GMT, and London is GMT, so again, the difference is 8 hours. The only time the difference is not 8 hours is when one county switches between DST and Standard Time on different dates. For example, this year, the UK switches to standard time on October 31, whereas most North America switches on November 7, so, basically for a whole week, the time difference between pacific and London will only be 7 hours, after which it will be back to the normal 8 hour difference.

How much time difference there is depends on where you live exactly in Asia.
Anyone know if it's for free to watch it here?
