Hey Everybody! I just got these cool photos of Last Man Standing. Red Bull helped us out with the photos and helped put on the whole event, thanks Red.

I’ve read some reports and it sounded brutal, only 3 riders completed the first 40 mile loop in the required time limit. So only 3 riders started the night loop. That is in the dark, torturous trail with a head light. Maybe there were really 97 winners and 3 losers, those three having to ride the course in the dark.

Off road phenom Taddy Blazensomething won, 10 time National trials champion Geoff Aaron got second. David Knight pulled out with a severe chest infection.

    Geoff Aaron is riding a two stroke KTM with a Christini All Wheel Drive system, but by looking at the photo, thats still not enough as he resorts go good old pushing, and he is one of the best. Makes you want to try it next year huh?

    If the event was named ” First man Whining” I think I could be a contender. Even the finish line looks like a challenge.

    No doubt; not sure I could clear the finish line!
