Quite a bit of the extreme riding you see in the Kranked videos, and what not, are done in man made areas like huge gravel pits. Personally, I think Bicycling magazine is a cheese rag anyway - a good form of protest would be not to buy it.
Bicycle Magazine describes the area on page 21 of the October 2002 issue as:
"Circue de Moureze; Roussillon, France. Cycling through this natural limestone formation is like riding on the moon - but more surreal. The landscape is filled with precarious drop-offs, castles and rock formations with names such as The Sphinx, The Death's Head and The Young Ladies... WATCH FOR: Evolution among the rocks. The oldest known European human skull was found here."
