Pro FMX Rider Ronnie Renner pays a visit to KTM's headquarters in Mattighofen, Austria to test the new prototype "Freeride E" electric motorcycle. With the flip of a switch Ronnie and rider/filmer Steve Haughelstine quietly destroy KTM's track—is this the future of freeride bikes? Ronnie pushes the Freeride E even further at the famous X Bowl Arena motocross track. See how it performs in some serious conditions.

Hallstatt, Upper Austria is a lakeside village located at the south-western shore of the Hallstätter See in the austrian Salzkammergut region, southeast of Salzburg . The town lies on the national road linking Salzburg and Graz. Salt was a valuable resource, so the region was historically very wealthy. The village also gave its name to the early Iron Age Hallstatt Culture and is a World Heritage Site for Cultural Heritage. Hallstatt is a popular tourist attraction owing to its small-town appeal and can be toured on foot in ten minutes. The Hallstatt culture was the predominant Central European culture from the 8th to 6th centuries BC (European Early Iron Age), developing out of the Urnfield culture of the 12th century BC (Late Bronze Age) and followed in much of Central Europe by the La Tène culture. By the 6th century BC, the Halstatt culture extended for some 1000 km, from the Champagne-Ardenne in the west, through the Upper Rhine and the upper Danube, as far as the Vienna Basin and the Danubian Lowland in the east, from the Main, Bohemia and the Little Carpathians in the north, to the Swiss plateau, the Salzkammergut and to Lower Styria. The culture is commonly linked to Proto-Celtic and Celtic populations in its western zone and with (pre-)Illyrians in its eastern zone. This secluded and utterly captivating landscape counts as one of the first places of human settlement due to the rich sources of natural salt, which have been mined for thousands of years. It is possible to tour the world's first known salt mine, located above downtown Hallstatt. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallstatt liegt im inneren Salzkammergut am Hallstätter See. Auf dem schmalen Uferstreifen zwischen den steil aufragenden Bergen drängen sich die Häuser dicht aneinander, sind teilweise sogar mit Pfählen in den See gebaut. Im Wesentlichen besteht der Ort aus einer Straße und dem kleinen Marktplatz. Die Ausdehnung beträgt von Nord nach Süd 9,1 km, von West nach Ost 13,2 km. Die Gesamtfläche beträgt 59,8 km², 34,8 % der Fläche sind bewaldet. Sehenswürdigkeiten Flügelaltar Pfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt: Die 1505 fertig gestellte spätgotische Pfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt thront auf einem Felsen über den Dächern des Ortes. Der mächtige Turm ist der einzig erhaltene Teil einer Vorgängerkirche aus dem Jahr 1320. Die zweischiffige Hallenkirche beherbergt als kulturhistorisch bedeutendste Sehenswürdigkeit den Hallstätter Marienaltar, einen spätgotischen Wandelaltar aus Oberösterreich. Der Altar mit zwei Flügelpaaren entstand um 1515 in der Werkstatt des Gmundner Bildschnitzers Leonhard Astl. Karner: An der Nordseite der Kirche steht im Friedhof der Karner mit dem kleinen Beinhaus, das ins 16. Jahrhundert datiert. Insgesamt 1500 Totenschädel sind auf den Knochen der Verstorbenen übereinander gestapelt. Nach etwa 20 bis 30 Jahren werden die Gebeine exhumiert, gebleicht und anschließend verziert: Auf der Stirn stehen über Geburts- und Sterbedatum meist der Name der Person, bemalt mit dunklen Kränzen aus Eichenlaub, Efeu oder Blumen. Das Beinhaus ist auf der Welt einzigartig, da dort die Gebeine ganzer Generationen vollständig aufbewahrt werden. Museum Hallstatt Museum Hallstatt: Das Museum besitzt, neben dem Naturhistorischen Museum Wien, die zweite umfangreiche Sammlung von Fundstücken der Hallstattzeit in Österreich, die in einer modernen Präsentation gezeigt wird. Hallstattzeitliches Gräberfeld und Salzstollen: Zum hallstattzeitlichen Gräberfeld und dem Salzstollen - dem ältesten der Welt, führen ein Fußweg und die Salzbergbahn hinauf. 1282 bis 1284 ließ hier Herzog Albrecht I. von Österreich den Rudolfsturm errichten, der nach seinem Vater, Rudolf I., benannt wurde. Er diente im Salzkrieg gegen den salzburgischen Erzbischof Konrad IV. als Verteidigungsanlage und war seit 1313 bis in die Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts die Wohnung des jeweiligen Bergmeisters. Heute beherbergt der Turm eine ihrer herrlichen Aussicht wegen beliebte Gaststätte. - 早期铁器时代 以使用铁器为标志的人类物质文化发展阶段的最初时期。考古学研究的铁器时代，主要是使用铁器的最初时期，包括一些民族史前文化中的铁器文化阶段。就世界范围而言，这一时代约开始于公元前1500～前1000年。 由于铁比青铜坚硬，铁器的使用增强了人类改造自然的能力。自然界中铁矿分布远比铜矿普遍，铁器发明后较短时期内便得以普及，青铜器未能淘汰掉落后的石器，铁器完成了这一任务。所以进入早期铁器时代后，社会生产获得了巨大发展，人类历史产生了深刻变化。
