Psychosis: Noun -any of several psychotic disorders characterized by distortions of reality and disturbances of thought.

Really eh? That’s what this race is all about, well I’m pretty sure any regular person looking at the course would easily diagnose riders with the mental disorder.

The 10th annual Psychosis Mountain Bike Race got underway in Golden British Columbia this weekend, sending races down the most gnarly, most terrifying longest downhill race in the world. The course is nothing less than a 12 minuet long compilation of drops, steeps, shale, berms, sprints, a road gap and everything in between.

Heading to Golden I had heard the stories about how ridiculous this race was, seen the pictures from the infamous dead dog starting hill, but there is no way to really experience how absurd the course really is. After committing to the hill about 3 meters past the start gate there is no stopping for at least 50 meters unless end up crashing, which i saw happen several times.

Day 2 provided the rest of the mountain bike community with less screws loose in their head to test their skills on the lower half of the trail
