Crazy Urban Downhill in Chile

#1

Post by DRKBC »

The mountain bikers out there will have probably seen this but if you haven't it is incredible. It is a downhill mountain bike race in an urban setting sponsored by Red Bull.

I have seen that before and those walleyed cameras still make my head hurt while watching vids like these.

Downhill racing is dangerous to begin with but no question coming off your bike in this event wouldn't be pretty.

I remember watching one of those urban downhill videos (might have been last year or a year prior), but the guy was flying down there and dog ran out in front of him.

Rapido, Rapido, Rapido...

Was nuts.

No-one can choose your mountain or tell you when to climb... It's yours alone to challenge at your own pace and time.
