Seen this before. No less amazing the 2nd or 3rd time I've watched it. Just ridiculous.

Favorite part is definitely the dog nonchalantly running out in front of him.

LOL I didn't realize it was POV----I had to turn it off after a few seconds so as not to lose my breakfast!

Pretty cool. Kinda like that skiing with an avalanche video that was posted a few weeks ago.

I was actually expecting more than 1 stray dog, and for them to be vicious suckers chasing after the bikers Pamplona-style...those were my expectations after description and that's why I was left unsatisfied.


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.

I must disagree.

so what do YOU do for excitement?

I used to race big bore motocross bikes when I was young and bulletproof and there is no way in hell I would have run that course at the peak of my stupidity.

I'd need a fresh depends on before I did that.

A six pack wouldn't hurt either. :lol

Consider his country of origin, then consider where this race is held.

I didn't say it was unimpressive or that it wasn't cool. I was left unsatisfied simply because I had very high expectations after reading the description.

:rolleyes Like that had anything to do with it. If anything, I'd enjoy seeing things from Chile receive attention and props, I'm down with the Chileans.
