A buddy of mine sent this to me and said ..”watch on an empty stomach!”  Well … for me, it wasn’t quite that tough but I did catch myself breathing a little hard and wincing a couple of times.

Welcome to the Insane Downhill Bike Race in Chile.  Occurring in Valparaiso, Chile, the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo Race is a legendary urban bike race and many say this is more extreme than skydiving.  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.

Hang onto your mouse – this is a heck of a ride!
