Video of the Day! Hike, climb and paraglide through the Alps with Christian Maurer as he attempts to win the Red Bull X Alps for the third consecutive time.
I'm a teacher and had to explain altitude belts in the alps to my students, I used this video in several classes to visualise the actual belts....amazing footage, thanks.
I am italian and I have a very small house in the north (in the Dolomiti mountains) and I can totally understand why he is doing it. Being there is a wonderful experience, I can only immagine how it is to fly over those valleys...
I'm not into corporate-sponsored contrived drama, but I have to admit, this would be an awesome thing to do, pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime sort of things. Well done to the contestants!
This is so wild! Do these guys sleep during the hiking parts of the trip? I mean, it took just under 7 days to complete. They have to get some sleep in, right!?
Pause The Moment They had a forced 6 hour rest period (11pm-5am) every night this year, increased from previous 4 hour rule, with one overnight pass available for each competitor.
How does one get into this? Where did you get your start? This is my dream. How does one qualify for a race like this? If anyone has any information please message me.
"Hiking up to 18 hours at a time", lol... what do these guys eat and drink and where do they carry all this stuff... and where do you sleep after 18 hours of hiking?
google "paragliding for beginners" or "starting paragliding" or something to that affect, and start working on your endurance abilities... like a lot! Going to probably need to become a decently experienced paraglider considering that if faced with challenges on the race like inclement weather or gear failure, you will need be able to handle it or risk an accident. Basic camping and/or mountaineering experience wouldn't hurt either.

This is unreal! I'd need another 4 nuts just to give it a go.
This is so wild! Do these guys sleep during the hiking parts of the trip? I mean, it took just under 7 days to complete. They have to get some sleep in, right!?
no idea Pause The Moment I'm guessing they have check points along the way where they have to go and sleep
Pause The Moment They had a forced 6 hour rest period (11pm-5am) every night this year, increased from previous 4 hour rule, with one overnight pass available for each competitor.
No words... AMAZING!!! ;)
So episch! Really epic!

Grande red bull grazie per queste Race incredibili. . Grande Gopro per il modo in cui le racconti
love it !
Amazing
I thought this was a video of their offroad spin off of the Red Bull X1.
If they would add shooting to this event it could be in the Olympics! Truly fantastic!!!
So cool! I don't think most people have any idea of the intensity of this event. Easily rivals all others...
