The self-styled kings of the extreme world, Redbull, are about to release another one of these slick-as-black-ice epic-fests called Where The Trail Ends. That&#8217;s generally the point where I admit to myself I&#8217;m lost and turn around to try find my way home, but apparently these guys get into boats or helicopters and go camping.
