it's really sketchy to walk here
it was crazy it was pretty massive
[Music]
there's a lot of carnage going on
hey guys here's many lessons
here in middle of austria at one of the
biggest mines in the country
ah that's pretty good where normally the
most craziest dirtbike race
takes place the town normally is
super calm
yeah i would say it's pretty quiet huh
but if the race is going on
it's a completely different story
it's like a festival the atmosphere is
insane
welcome to red bull earthburger here the
craziest
insane dirtbag race in the world
it is this dirt that has served as a
setting for countless moments of hard
enduro history
and i'm gonna show you guys the most
notarious features
on the racetrack just check this place
out just check it out like
how big it is unbelievable
this is me compared to howly
this is a howli compared to the mountain
people are coming from everywhere and
around the world
pro guys amateur guys you know everyone
is standing next to each other
you know i have runways or at a tennis
game you know it's just
the pros are playing and the other guys
have to watch but here everyone just
come out you know
[Music]
stand where we're at right now where
normally the start takes place
is the most most craziest
start of all our races in all our sport
500 guys down here 50 riders per
row so we got 10 rows we have to wait
them
i would say around 2 hours and the
emotions are going high everyone is
super nervous
like the bikes are shuttered off and
kind of
is is such a quiet place normally
until actually the racing is going on
planes are coming in normally right
before the race 50 guys
going into the first uphill which is
already going crazy
it's just such a small and crazy little
apple which is
already super rocky
i would say this part is maybe five
minutes after the starts
should i say water pipe or water
[Music]
it definitely is already the first point
where you can see the difference between
pros amateurs and hobby guys
[Music]
i would say there are already a couple
of amateur guys struggling
yeah guys are striking you know at
earthquake
we also got everything you know we got
them long apples like russell item for
example
but we also have super muddy conditions
in the forest
three rods everywhere big rocks
having this kind of mix of terrain
makes it also really difficult and
really challenging for most of the guys
this mountain humbles you the size of it
the scope the the variance of terrain
you go from sahara to deep forest
in like literally 50 feet
bit is i would say super special it's
called ludwig's land
the last couple of years it was super
difficult so it would have been robes
it was still helping zone like the guys
have been pulling us
and like it was crazy
you can't believe how slippery how
slippery this dirt is
and then we have some rats everywhere we
call them also black snakes because
they're super slippery
there is really steep where already
couple of guys try to go up here
i can definitely tell you guys here is a
lot of carnage going on
that's for sure
feels like full on track work now break
up with my media crew
it's really sketchy to walk here ladies
and gentlemen
[Music]
as he rocks like this
yeah guys definitely i can tell you this
place is crazy i would say the most
notorious
place of the race we kind of ride in
here for like
at least an hour you have to lift your
bike around if you get stuck in one hole
you
you have to get it out it's like 110
kilos where you're literally
just carrying around through some big
rocks carl's dinner the infamous carl's
dinner
we have seen airs barrack rodeos won and
lost
in this space alone actually my dad
wanted
in 2015 where they all finished together
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
the pressure is on we got already a
couple of
second place trophies couple of third
place trophies in our house so
i'm trying to get another another number
one
um trophy also into the rhetoric house
that we we have
we have two you know next to each other
and hopefully i'm gonna get a bigger
rock as his one
so we're just walking over to green hill
um
it's been a while since i was here you
know
it looks definitely different than some
years ago
the first time when they headed in the
goal was at the tunnel
and now the tunnel is gone
this is how i think it's really good to
explain how much
dirt they're still moving at the moment
you're standing there and you're like ah
how should i get up there you know like
you're literally
working for every centimeter to go up
this hill and
especially so long already into this
race makes it so hard and so difficult
and so challenging
the mental fatigue the physical fatigue
the heat at this point
just unrelenting
you can see how how steep it is
like from the top ah yeah
just stand here in green hill and if i'm
just thinking
i'm riding up there with a motorbike i'm
like oh my god
this is not possible at all but summer
we always
make it and this is actually the place i
would say where everyone kind of
helps each other also from the pro guys
you know like
the first year when they put green helen
it was a lot of carnage because no one
could go up here
it's hard enduro but that was definitely
too hard because
if four of the best guys helping each
other try to get up one hill climb
is just insane
i can't every tree here so if i'm to be
honest i'm already a little bit scared
you know like if this green hell is
disappearing
we don't really know where we're going
to go next so if i'm looking up there
hopefully not
george avenue is definitely one apple
where you
need some speed for sure right from the
beginning you know and you just hammer
it down all the way to the top like
it's such a fast uphill and just have to
open the throttle
get third gear in and just pin it to the
top check this out
how steep it is how long it is and i
think this is what the race is about
like downhills is always super easy
because you can just throw the bike
sometimes but
up with it that's the whole thing you
know so um yeah
at herzberg especially you know we have
some really steep uphills
and yeah i'm definitely gonna show you
and hopefully i can make it up there to
the top
let's go riding okay let's go riding huh
[Applause]
so guys i'm just gonna show you now
really quick um
how to light up george avenue i hope i
can
i can make it to the top at the first go
[Music]
hmm
so guys that was short avenue it's
actually pretty good you know like
after all the what you have to go
through especially all the technical
stuff
to come here and have such a funny funny
apple i would say is also still steep
but
it's quite funny and yeah it's really
good it's just a good feeling and
after this now we're nearly at the
finish
so it gives you kind of also a little
bit of motivation
to when you're here because you know ah
you're nearly there and you nearly made
it to the finish so
let's go huh
um
[Music]
um
we're already back down you know where
normally the finish is um
if you're here i think everyone is just
super happy you know like i said
it's 500 guys at the racetrack
i think in the finish and actually it's
maybe around
15 to 20 guys i would say the last
couple of years it was always around two
and a half hours for the first guys
you're so exhausted and it's so brutal
and so physically for your body
i'm always super happy when i'm here
like especially if you're a good result
like you're over the moon it's just
the holy grail of hot enduro like i
already cried one time
when i was at the finish so um yeah this
is
i would say shows how much it means
means to us and also to
to myself
all right guys this is it from redwood
herzberg video i hope you guys enjoyed
it
for myself it's definitely the most
interesting on the planet especially for
dirt bike race
so if you're gonna disagree just let me
know in the comments and
yeah just come here and try and race it
you
