Good footage of the event with lots of behind the scenes showing the personalities of the riders like Gee Atherton, Rennie, Ben Reid and a bunch of other Euro-pinners. Because it's done in a freakin' subway station it's pretty gnarly--think escalators and super slick floors. Dual format. Sick. Good times.

Don't see this happening in the US. Hmmm....wonder why...

That looks like so much fun.
I think I want to race the next
Red Bull Down Metro Urban Downhill race

in Mexico.

they should have the escalators running upwards while racing on the way down.

you'd get a boost at the bottom cause your wheels would be spinning faster than they would be if the escalator were stopped. either that or you'll just eat crap due to a loss of traction

that was an awesome link, thanks. just wish my computer could have kept up with the video. I got the sound alright, just choppy action the whole way through .
