Maybe it's just one of those mornings where I need to see massive mountain bike carnage, but I laughed until I cried at Alpine Gravity Megavalanche Start 2013 (YouTube), a mountain bike "race" down an icy ski slope that looks more like a pachinko game than anything.
Thanks, Shadow. I needed a big dose of absurdity.

As my father is fond of saying:
Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice!
Success in that race seems to hinge on:
- Avoid the crowds.
- When you fall, hold on to your bike because climbing uphill is a huge time sink.

props to the camera lad for some ballsy passing when he was vertical. It was
exciting to watch and seems to have the hallmark of a good sport (slightly
dangerous, difficult to master, lots of random chance) better than NASCAR
