As you can see here, the 2006 Red Bull Last Man Standing course was brutal.

Everything seems so serene before the start of the 2006 Red Bull Last Man Standing.
008-Texas-Stadium-Pre-race-.jpg
This is what the Texas Stadium 'element' looked like two days before the race. It didn't get any easier when most of the snow had melted.
067-LMS-Sign-MC.jpg
It'd be hard to miss the venue.
083-Start-Line-MC.jpg
With 128 bikes on the line and a long straightaway ahead, the LMS start did have a slight desert bomb run start feel.
105-Barn-MC.jpg
One of the only places to take a rest on the course was through this barn painted especially for the race.
125-Braybrook-MC.jpg
Great Britain's Wayne Braybrook used both his considerable trials skills as well as brute strength to ascend this brutally tricky climb at the Triple Threat element en route to his 2-2 second overall.
133-Cooper-MC.jpg
Guy Cooper wisely borrowed a 250 SX instead of last year's 525 XC and completed the day lap unassisted for third. At night, though, he found himself forced to team up and was credited with fourth, earning third overall--the first of the non-finishers.
150-Graffunder-MC.jpg
Canadian Cory Graffunder's face reflects the physical struggle he endured to get to this point at Triple Threat, only a couple miles from the finish. He then had to turn around and do the lap in the dark in the opposite direction and was eventually credited with a 4-5 fourth overall.
173-Fahringer-MC.jpg
Nick Fahringer works on getting his bike into position so enduro champ Russell Bobbitt can help pull it up the rest of the way. For most in the field, teamwork was the only way to survive.
188-Aaron-MC-2.jpg
Geoff Aaron put his 10 AMA/NATC National Observed Trials Series championships to good use in conjunction with his borrowed Christini Honda CRF250R. Unfortunately, the bike suffered terminal engine problems almost within sight of the finish while he was in position to qualify for the night lap.
271-Podium-MC.jpg
Knight and Braybrook were the only official finishers, making for a smaller-than-normal podium.
421-Bobbitt-MC.jpg
New AMA/FMF Racing National Enduro Champ Russell Bobbitt went 8-3 for fifth overall, just two weeks after being part of the winning FIM Junior World Trophy team for Team USA at the ISDE in New Zealand.
460-Night-Start-MC.jpg
The night lap started just after the sun went down, but it differed little from the day start with Knight shooting into the lead right away.

The Joshua Tree element at night. The section shown was an uphill in the day.
471-Knight-Joshua-Exit-MC.jpg
Knight exits Joshua Tree, about halfway through the lap and with nearly 45 minutes on runner-up Braybrook.

A five-foot-tall vertical wall carved out of a bank was the final obstacle facing competitors, but only Knight and Braybrook put tracks on it.
