Funny, but this is the perfect example of a downhill mountain bike race gone bad. What was supposed to be a downhill race with a time of about three minutes turned into a Nascar looking event with riders sliding, flipping, and crashing into each other. Finish times went from three to five times the norm for that course. No amount of downhill, freeride, or trail work seems to prepare for this. None gave up, the result being the ultimate display of riding(?) skills.
Ron Shock's style of story telling is a gut busting experience. His live stand-up comedy is the perfection of the sense of timing and delivery that is reminiscent of Will Rogers. This video is from Ron Shock's performance at the "Comedy in the Park" in Sutter Creek, California.
