Valparaiso, Chile - Urban Downhill Race = Insanity

Dan Socie

Riders from all over the globe traveled to Valparaiso, Chile to partake in one of the craziest urban downhill races on the planet. This is something I will not be doing...ever.

No. Helmet cam was as good as it gets.

I swear, we should have a repository for "rides that nobody would be stupid enough to do".

The doode, Chris Akrigg, has a whole series of vids on bikeradar.com. There's one where we crashes on the Mega Avalanche at Alpe D'Huez and rides most of it with a broken seat.

That's cause he is a better rider. I should of put the helmet on Strauss or Sawiris.

Yeah I think that those guys are wired a little differently to be able to do those rides.
