Erzberg Rodeo - EC 300
Don't know if this has been posted here before, but this can be watched over and over again, A great video from a guy from Sweden I think, racing on the Iron Giant.

Very good videos.
He does seem to be crusing on the easy stuff, apart from at the start. He makes the climbs seem easy - I suspect hes quite a good rider - maybe not crazy fast but slow and steady. The camera view makes it hard to appreciate the gradients i think. At one point he stalls at the top of a climb, and turns his head to see someone else comming up - thats when it looks steep. At other times its only people standing at an angle to the hill that shows you just how steep it it. |

My daughters and I watched this last night. They were shocked at how smoothly this guy rides (you can tell by the lack of helmet moving). I think he's a phenomenal rider. That 300 really attacks the hills. It was really good work.
Thanks for highlighting it. |

I actually thought the Erzburg was harder...I mean it doesnt look easy but there was no absolutely rediculous sections. I've riden areas just as hard in the western PA woods...not as many long loose hills here though. I thought almost no one finished that race it was so rediculous.

I didnt say it wasnt difficult looking. But from the one professional Erzberg movie (2008 maybe) I saw, there was some sections that looked like pure hell, that I likely could not even get accross, huge rocks and such. Most of that shown looked hard but doable. Maybe the rediculous stuff is just closer to the end and not shown in his videos.

Pretty sure that there are 7 checkpionts and then the finish, and the last 2 sections are the 'carls diner' and the 'stairway' which they only expect the top 10-20 guys to reach let alone get through.
The Guy in the vid didnt make it to the 45' angle cement pipes which are before the tougher sections, we probably only sore a fraction of the course.
