Red Bull Eye in the Sky was a fixed gear, track bike race around Auckland City, New Zealand.' There were 5 checkpoints around the city and riders had to collect a token at each checkpoint.' If a rider was running with a brake they had to visit a 6th checkpoint.If you think these guys weren't hauling enough ass, skip to 6:40. What?!Rainier Schaefer took 1st place with a time of 19.22min. And he hauled ass.http://www.redbulleyeinthesky.co.nz/
Unfortunately, one of the best riders to do it on the mega ramp and last year's champion, Chad Kagy, came down hard on his leg and would only complete a run worthy of third place earning him the bronze medal. This made the race for gold quite exciting, however, as it seemed to be anyone's game with Kagy only completing a "safety run" (a run to secure a solid score, usually as a first run, to allow for a back-up score in case of not landing more difficult runs).
And so that race..
