I have seen insanity and it happens on the streets of Valparaiso, Chile. The Valparaiso Cerro Abajo Race is a legendary urban bike race and is more extreme than skydiving out of an exploding F-18 piloted by Charlie Sheen - while chugging a 2 liter of Mountain Dew. The rider must brave jumps, stray dogs, and flights of stairs along the steep downhill path. The first person perspective provided by the excellent helmet cam lets us take in every glorious and frightening detail. Do yourself a favor and watch this one in full screen mode. VCA 2010 RACE RUN
It would be neat to have the riders wired so that their heart rates, resperation, and other factors could be measured. Some of the areas on the run could most definitely get the heart rate going. I’d have to be on meth to do that.
WOW!
