NEW Urban DH video of the Day - AWESOME

January 2nd, 2013 9:12pm

Urban Downhill is really unique. Take a city, built on a big hill, add narrow corridors, footpaths, pedestrians, gnarly steep stair cases, buildings odd curb placements, pot holes and a few HUGE drops and gaps and hoardes of screaming fans and you have all the ingredients for one hell of an event.

These events are starting to pop up with more regularity and mostly in South and Central America where the perfect terrain of ancient cities built ad-hock and a lack of Government intervention (or the ability to sue organizors should something go wrong) makes for some crazy scenes.

In this little video, you will find yourself holding your breath more times that you can imagine. While I am so over Go Pro footage, this rider does a great job of staying steady on the run and giving us, the lucky viewer, a really good idea of what it is like to ride a course like this under complete control. Well done amigos, well done...
