Utah's economy is much worse than that of California, with major cities such as Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo. The entire state is enclosed by the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Plateau, and the Great Salt Lake Desert.

There's features like the Colorado River's Valley National Park, the Rocky Mountain Valley, Red Rock Canyon, and Salt Lake City, which is often featured in movies. Because of these factors, the mining and tourism industry here is developing very well, and agriculture can also be used.

Natasha is familiar with this side, she has come to watch a game before. directly commanded Zhang Tao to drive to the holding point of the extreme cross-country race. They came a day in advance, not only to see the place, but also to find a suitable place to stay.

The organizers of this competition do not provide accommodation, so you can do everything yourself. And because of this game, many people come from other places, and the hotels and hostels in the vicinity have become particularly popular.

If they don't come in advance to secure the accommodation, it may be difficult to find a suitable accommodation when the time comes. Hotels and accommodations here are not as ubiquitous as they are in China.

Because of the small population base, the population here is actually not much after arriving in other states, most of them are concentrated in a few important large cities, and there are a lot fewer in other places. So even though it's the tourist season, there aren't many hotels here.

"Are you here to compete? We also have a room here, just enough for the two of you. You can also give a discount to the contestants, do you want a room? ”

followed Natasha to the door of a hotel, and before Zhang Tao could speak, the waiter of the hotel had already spoken out when he saw Zhang Tao riding an off-road motorcycle.

"Yes, we're here to compete, extreme off-road races." Before Zhang Tao could say anything, Natasha had already answered for Zhang Tao first, and paid for the hotel. Looking at Zhang Tao looking at herself, the girl replied with a smile.

"I'm going to have a separate room when I'm here to play alone, so I'll just take you up now. I stayed with you for a few days ago, and I didn't even give you the money for the room, so I still got cheap to you. ”

The people here are still a little different from the people in China, and their consumption concepts are a bit special. If you are in China, it is normal for friends to have a treat, but the people here are very clear, and they prefer AA.

After settling the room, the two went out for a meal and drove to the arena together. At this time, it was almost dusk, and the desolation and grandeur of the Colorado Plateau brought Zhang Tao a deep shock.

He had seen this place in a movie in his previous life, but when he actually saw it in person, it felt completely different. This sense of immediacy is so strong that it even makes people feel like they are thinking about heaven and earth.

"Legend has it that driving over the backs of those mountain bags, then going to that lone pillar at the rift valley, walking out of a path that no one has ever walked on, and then flying over the canyon and stopping on top of that pillar gives you a special feeling."

"Over the years, many people have thought about taking this path, but no one has succeeded. The best record was not even reached on the flat ground opposite the pillar, let alone over the canyon to the pillar on the other side. ”

Natasha lay on Zhang Tao's shoulder, looked at the undulating mountain bags in front of her and said to Zhang Tao, that legend is probably a legend, and no one will ever be able to reach it.

"The one you're talking about is the so-called XX eight?" Natasha's words were clear to Zhang Tao as soon as he heard them, because he had seen it in a certain movie in his previous life, but he didn't expect anyone to know this now!

"You know this, too? This legend only exists in the circle of extreme sports, and few people in the outside world know about this legend. ”

Zhang Tao's words shocked Natasha, she still heard about it from an extreme athlete, but she didn't expect Zhang Tao to know this legend too.

"I've heard people say that, but I don't know anything about it." Zhang Tao smiled and replied, he didn't tell Natasha that this was actually something he saw in a movie.

In the past, Zhang Tao may not have cared so much about this thing, but now he is a little interested in this thing. Because extreme sports also have great benefits for himself, Zhang Tao must try something so magical that the island people say.

Zhang Tao didn't know if the island people had made great achievements in kung fu, because that guy hung up. But his speculation does have merit, but this is for Dacheng's people, and Zhang Tao is not clear about the effect of other people.

The first of the so-called eight is the emergence of force, extreme abyss kayaking or extreme off-road speeding, and Utah happens to meet such an item, and Zhang Tao's ultimate goal is also this.

The second is the awakening of the earth, high-altitude fixed-point skydiving, location: Swallow Cave Sinkhole, Mexico, falling straight into the Swallow Cave Sinkhole from a high altitude is a challenge to your skydiving skills, body control and courage.

Zhang Tao has not been exposed to skydiving, and he will learn it when he has time. But Zhang Tao still has a lot of confidence in the control of his body and the guts, and he feels that he can try it.

But not now, skydiving in Mexico is a big project, and it needs to be well set up and operated. When the time comes, I can go over there, and I can do the things I need to do by the way.

Among the tasks that Zhang Tao is now in hand, there is such a task that needs to travel all over the world, which is just right for this extreme challenge, and can be completed together at that time.

The third is the birth of the sky, high-altitude motorcycle skydiving, location: Mount Everest, this skydive to be completed on Mount Everest, the difficulty can be imagined, and a fearless heart is very important. This Zhang Tao is just as unconditional, he can't skydive.

The fourth is the surging of the wind, the wingsuit flight, the location: the Alps. Put on a wingsuit and sail through the Alps. But this requires the ability to control your balance, overcome your fears, and master the art of flying.

Zhang Tao thinks that wingsuit flight is better prepared than parachuting, and a good flying squirrel suit is fine. And the Alps are one of their own purposes, where they can dig the corners of Europe.

The fifth event Ice Consolidation, Extreme Skiing, Location: Alps. Not only do you have to ski in the snow, but you also have to find your way through the mountain cliffs, which is a challenge for courage and balance, judgment and skiing skills.

The sixth event is Water Creature Extreme Surfing, Location: Sea of Cortez. Step on a surfboard and glide through the roaring waves.

This is a new skill for Zhang Tao, he has never played surfing, if he wants to challenge this sport, he must be familiar with this sport like skydiving.

The remaining two are gravity, freehand climbing, at Angel Falls, Venezuela. Without any protective gear, climb the Angel Falls in Venezuela with your bare hands, defying gravity.

This Zhang Tao can challenge at any time, since climbing the chief rock with his bare hands, Zhang Tao feels that he can adapt to the sport of rock climbing very well.

The last item is unreserved trust, leaning back and diving high. Descending down the waterfall on your back may seem like the easiest, but it's actually the hardest.

There is no need to grasp anything here, all that is needed is trust. Trust in yourself, trust in nature, and then fall into the water abyss below to complete your ultimate challenge.

The first six of these eight items are in no particular order, and any one of them can be completed first. The last two items must be completed after the first six items are completed, and then the person who completes the challenge will enter a new realm.

After the completion of these eight items, no one knows whether there will be the same effect that the island people said. Because no one has completed these eight items until now, not even the guy who proposed them.

"It's getting dark, let's go back first, there are wolves on this wasteland, it's too late to be safe." When the sun was completely setting, Natasha hugged Zhang Tao's neck and said that she didn't want to spend the night here.

Zhang Tao nodded, started the motorcycle, and took Natasha to the hotel they had booked, where a lot of people had gathered now, and the night had become very lively.

The so-called motorcycle extreme off-road race, this thing is more to test the performance of the motorcycle, the driver's skill is of course also important, otherwise how to run with just the car? Both are indispensable.

Before the official race, a motorcycle show will be held at the participating venue. A team of performance teams appeared on the venue on motorcycles and presented a wonderful performance to the audience who came to watch the game.

Zhang Tao also watched those people riding motorcycles, and compared with the professional motorcycles used by those people, his car was still slightly worse. But he didn't bother to get a new one, and he didn't play it very often.

In addition to the wonderful performances, there were many scantily clad and hot women on the performance hall, which immediately aroused the applause of the surrounding audience.

The wonderful performance and the beautiful and hot girls brought a hot scene to the whole game. The crowd around her was enthusiastically responding to the performance or whistling at a particularly sexy woman, and Natasha didn't attend any events this time.

The official performance took place the next morning and lasted all day. And the competition is divided into several items, and Zhang Tao only participated in one. His goal is to win a race, then get that championship bike, and then do one of his ideas here.

Zhang Tao's motorcycle is good, and his skills are also good. Determined to participate in this cross-country race, he often finds time to train in this area. Coupled with the ability to send and receive freely, this extreme race is not difficult for him.
