The Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbühel, Austria is an annual tradition going back 75 years, the steepest, gnarliest, most beloved downhill race in the world.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like when 20,000 people show up slopeside to cheer on the most bad-ass racers on the planet, you might enjoy this preview for the upcoming film “Streif: One Hell of a Ride,” produced by Planet Watch and presented by Atomic Skis, Red Bull Media House and Warren Miller Entertainment.

There’s a reason they call this race the ultimate test of courage.
