Earlier this month, Red Bull Rampage brought together some of the best mountain bike riders in the world. Videos from the popular event often go viral as professional cyclists crush through steep terrain on an unforgiving trail in southern Utah.

Practicing for Red Bull Rampage isn’t easy, but according to some in the mountain bike community, a trail known as King Kong is the destination. Mountain biker and popular social media user Christian Peper headed to the Virgin, Utah trail for a ride.
In the video, Peper and others go over their handlebars and dodge rocks after big drops. Peper says the area is known for breaking femurs and other painful collisions between people and the ground.
The trail is rough enough that even popular mountain bike trail apps avoid mentioning it (we checked but couldn’t find it). However, plenty of details exist online, so this trail is a real destination.
Would you try riding this trail?
