That is so cool. And insane.
In reply to Curmudgeon:
Looks like the rider is wearing a pinstripe suit. Awesome.
I like the part where he drives up the side of the wall.
So is the dog running along side him at :37 part of the course too?

That rider has two times the talent that Eliseo Salazar had with twice as many wheels.
The approch to the stone/dirt/wood jumps around 2:26 are insane. Very impressive display of skills. Some of those stairs look as steep as they really are (look at the angle of the railings). I wonder how many times they can pre-run the course to simply remember--even with all the tape, the course. Wonder if he's a local or a pro? If he's not a pro, he needs an agent.
Nice M-B-ish vertical wall.
Very talented, coordinted person. Get him on a motocross bike.
I saw this recently... apparently it's a HUGE DH event... awesomeness
Ay idea when this takes place?
this looks like the same race...
http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/features/Valparaiso-Cerro-Abajo-Urban-Downhill-Race,1634/Lucent,16
so it makes it the "Valparaiso Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill Race"
the quote at the bottom of this vid...
Mountain biker Antonio Leiva makes his assault on the urban downhill course at the 9th annual Valparaiso Cerro Abajo, in Chile. He finished in fourth place.
