-Time is running out. Don’t miss out on your chance to participate in Red Bull Exodus. Registration ends Sept 1st, 2009 at 12AM.
Red Bull Exodus hits Whistler Blackcomb for the first-event mass start downhill mountain bike race in Canada. On September 4th and 5th, 200 mountain bikers (men and women) will gather at the peak at Whistler Mountain, at Whistler Blackcomb resort in British Columbia and will descend more than 2,182m and a vertical of 1,530m in order to cross the finish line in the Whistler Village. They will start simultaneously from the snow-capped peak, proceeding to fly down the mountain past the Roundhouse Lodge, entering the world-famous Whistler Mountain Bike Park at the top of the Garbanzo Express chairlift, before riding the Park’s giant slalom course and then finally crossing the finish line in the Whistler Village.

Over the course of two days, participants will be challenged by bar-to-bar racing as they battle side-by-side, dealing with fatigue and navigating through dirt trails riddled with jumps, stunts, drops and root-strewn terrain. All riders will need to sustain constant physical and mental effort in order to maintain control during the entire descent, which will take approximately 35 to 45 minutes for the fastest participants.
Think you got the skills? Register NOW!
Categories are open to both men and women 19-years-old and over. Each racer will have to qualify on Friday, September 4th for a spot in the race which will be limited to a maximum of 150 men and 50 women. Registration is now open and filling up fast. If you think you have what it takes to go head to head with some of the world’s mountain bike legends such as Red Bull Rampage 2009 winner Brandon Semenuk, Robbie Bourdon, Darren Berrecloth, Shaums March, Red Bull Rampage 2001 Utah winner Wade Simmons, Tyler Morland, Thomas Vanderham, and Whistler Moutain Bike ParkBike Park Pro Team rider Dave Watson go to www.eventsonline.ca/events/redbull_exodus/ and register.

..we had health insurance and entry into this race. CARNAGE! Hope every one crosses the finish line unscathed.
That aint happening. I've heard a little bit about the course. It will make the Crankworx DH look like an access road apparently.
yeah, racing Original Sin and In Deep is narly on a regular basis...mass start on those trails is insane!
North American Megavalanche with an extra helping of gnar? Holy. Can't wait to watch the carnage on freecaster.

1500 metre descent with a 2200 metre hypotneuse??? That's pretty much a 45 degree average incline/decline!
...and it will take the FASTEST racers at least 35 minutes? -talk about technical.
