Description
Reg Mullett and Mark *Kram* Haimes went for a world record mountain bike vertical descent on August 30th 2014.
They chose to attack the steep and technical Mount 7 in Golden BC. What started in 2013 as a way of celebrating a 40th birthday by riding more than 40,000 vertical feet led to bigger plans for 2014. Reg and Mark set off to break the unofficial world record of 44,528 vertical feet in 24 hours (Frischknecht/Giger 2013). Rather than choosing the most basic requirements (any off-road trail), they chose what is regarded as one of the most demanding DH courses in the world on Mount 7. At the end of 24 hours they had completed 27 laps with a total descent of over 100,000 vertical feet after battling rain, darkness and near-freezing temperatures. The documentation of their day is off to Guinness for the official decision and until Guinness makes the call, you get to experience the adventure in this incredible slideshow.
