UK Adventure: Chariots of Rust
By Adam Boggon
Adam Boggon goes on a tour to help restore his heart and mind – and pull apart his bike. “Subsequent to the sudden death of a childhood friend, and my girlfriend leaving me over the phone during my graduate school finals in Boston, I fell into a major depression. I became as a pebble falling through a body of water. The only question: how deep is the ravine? Turned out it was pretty deep.”
Rampage Diaries
By Hannah Dobson
“Red Bull Rampage owes everything to its location. If it were anywhere else in the world it would a different event. The Rampage sites, just outside Virgin, Utah, are a couple of hours’ drive from Las Vegas, and about half an hour from St George, Utah. That makes it pretty accessible via both a major international and regional airport – so people can get here.”
Arran’ a good time
By Amanda Wishart
Amanda, Rhys and James are reunited for further confirmation that ‘enduro-packing’ is a great idea. “I am spreadeagled on a rock slab. James is holding my right arm and taking half of my weight and Rhys’ fist is hooked around my left upper thigh taking the rest of it. Time stands still for a moment and I try to process the gravity of the situation.”

By Benji Haworth
