As the world’s best freeride mountain bikers flock to Virgin, Utah to compete in the 10th Red Bull Rampage, they look for every opportunity to get practiced up on going big in downright-frightening terrain. In this video, Nick Pescetto gets his big-hit riding dialed in on an absolutely NUTTY trail in Utah! While they don’t specifically mention which trail it is, I believe this is the King Kong trail, which was also recently featured in this video from Darren Berrecloth.

Regardless, grab your popcorn and get ready for a wild ride!
