Difficile, molto difficile trovare le parole per introdurvi la RedBull Hardline.
E’ una gara fuori dal mondo, un po’ come lo è la Rampage per gli specialisti dello slopestyle e del freestyle, con un percorso disegnato da Dan Atherton e riservato agli specialisti della Dh (solo 15 in tutto).

Per quanto riguarda la gara, invece, la vittoria è andata a Ruaridh Cunningham (campione del mondo Dh junior nel 2007) che a fine gara ha dichiarato: «Il percorso era incredibilmente difficile e da un punto di vista fisico e mentale è stato il più difficile che abbia mai affrontato. Sono felice che nessuno si sia fatto male, ma soprattutto di aver vinto».

Gee Atherton, fortissimo nelle qualifiche, ha avuto un inconveniente alla gomma e ha lasciato così campo libero a Cunningham (4º nelle qualifiche).
Di seguito la run vincente dell’inglese:
Anche le immagini parlano chiaro: la RedBull Hardline è una gara di Dh estrema e qualcuno si è chiesto se mai potrà diventare una tappa di Coppa del mondo. Chissà...
