The other kind of street riding


When most of us think of street riding, we think of wandering around a city, ours or some new one, looking for obstacles built for some urban purpose.  Yet to a bike rider, those obstacles become an opportunity to learn something new about ourselves and our bikes.  An old trick on new terrain.  Once in a while, a new variation on new terrain.  And so we progress, as riders, and as human beings. 

So crazy fool looked at Valparaiso, Chile's endless steps and cris-crossing roads and thought, "What if we made the mother of all MTB downhill routes?"  Man, that guy has issues.  And that's why he rides.  Anyhow, that initial thought led to this freakin' amazing downhill event.  Hang on.
