We here at the Soudan Mine had a promoter contact us to use our mine for
an extreme mountain biking contest. It was to be part of a television
program. Our mine is 2341 ft deep (713.5m). If the ride down the 78
degree shaft didn't get em, that 90 degree turn at the bottom would! We
didn't allow it, but they say they do this all over the world. Better
them than me.
