Taking their love of climbing, canyoneering and mountain biking to the extreme, Simon and Turbo head to Hurricane, Utah, to compete in the annual “Six Hours of Frog Hollow” bike race. The 12.8-mile looping course winds perilously through gaping canyons, alongside sheer cliff drops and over large boulders – presenting huge challenges for both guys, and a near catastrophic accident for Turbo.
