I was in Bogota when they were building this course and some of the jumps were brutal - the video doesn't do it justice. I was exhausting just walking down Respect to everyone who rode it down and lets not forget the great gang of guys & gals who constructed the course.
I think "the great gang of guys and gals who built this course" are sadistic. I would be nervous walking down. Some of those ramps look like they would launch you into the trees.
I love these urban courses, the one in Rio is awesome too. If you like these also check out the Megavalance race, downhill starting in the snow in the French Alps. In the first icy turn, there's always like a million-bike crash. Lower down the snow gives way to beautiful meadows and shady forests and finally a very old town.
As someone who recently broke several ribs, received significant road rash, and obliterated a clavicle by falling off a mountain bike landing on the roadway at high speeds... Thank you for doing / recording this, My days of doing anything fun on a mountain bike are over, but with videos like this i don't mind as much.
When we raced back in the mid 80's, mtn bikes had no suspension. To do this course on one of those bikes would be unthinkable. Come to think of it, I still wouldn't want to try this on any bike. Well beyond my comfort zone. Kudos to the guys and gals who make it look easy.
love the little step helpers at 0:54. At that point the riders are seconds from descending 1000 stone steps and clearing some big gaps but I'll bet they were appreciative of those little ramps? Amazing course and riders.
OMG that terrifies me! The cost of failure looks so high .... and there are so very many opportunities to fail! Salut! The riders must need wheelbarrows to carry their cohones.
Watching this makes me think of my cousins son TREVOR BELL. He was chosen a few years back to be a part of the Olympic bike team. Insane footage, thank you for sharing...
You're also very physically exhausting. I've been casually watching these videos for a while now, but I can see the hard work that goes into selecting the course, preparing the equipment, and training the staff.
Es el mejor manejo de una bici jamás visto... Increíble la verdad, un trayecto muy peligroso y muy estrecho, además de un montón de escaleras y curvas cerradas... La verdad es toda una gesta.
Awesome. But... it's just gnarly. Imagine clipping a pedal somewhere. I got a movie flashback from the 1979 movie Jaws, where Richard Dreyfuss drives the boat and goes: "I don't have to take this abuse any longer". Must be how the bike felt :)
This is like the mountain biking equivalent of the Isle of Man TT in terms of requiring intimate track knowledge and very little margin for error. I would seriously mess myself up trying to do that, I know I would.
Who else can feel the arm pump? 💪🥵
Lol it must be terrible
Can't imagine how bad his arms must be burning after that killer run!
Nuh he has the rebound on full fast and compesion on soft and he doesn't fill anything 😂
@@rosdiani6094 lol wth
@@sargiotis still gonna hurt tho. After a run like that suspension can't save you entirely

Hell, I'm exhausted after _watching_ this.. 😵
Imagine the stone masons.
I live in bogota, the video just doesnt show how steep the stairs are haha
@@soundtester3991 Yeah as an off-road enthusiast I can confirm, the camera never does justice to how steep it really is to ride on!

That track is mad!
Absolute madness. Loved every second. Now let's see them race back up
Race back up? Only perverts want to see that mate.👀
Cross Country style, eh?
YES ! I don't think they had to pedal once for the entire down-hill leg. the up-hill will be brutal !
@@dave-in-nj9393 they’re pedaling a hellua lot more than you’d expect
@@dave-in-nj9393 trust me, downhill wears you tf out
One of the craziest athletic events I've ever seen. Pumped me up just watching it!
Incredible biking aside - let's take a moment and appreciate the herculean effort that went in to building this mind-boggling stone path.
Built by slaves probably..
@@M711-n5n man why you gotta do that
@@Big_Funky bogata.. Colombia..had slaves from the 16th century to 1851.. just a wild guess..no offence intended 👯👓👯
Everyone for miles has one heck of a commute.
@@M711-n5n minimum wage in Colombia is slavery. No social security at all.
0:54 how nice to have that little slope down that two stairs, when they're going down a few thousand more anyways :D
it's the little things in life 💫😅

How my father describes his journey to school back in his day :')
Too funny
My father's version was all uphill - and snow.
Damn you beat me to it
@@SilentKnight43 *and barefoot
it was dark too for mine
When Pedro whacked that limb with his head, it startled the crap out of me. 🤣

Thank you for doing / recording this,
My days of doing anything fun on a mountain bike are over, but with videos like this i don't mind as much.
Get well soon 💐
Thank you, just what I like to see, no annoying intros I have to skip through, just straight to the legitimate video
The Longest Urban Downhill Race on the Planet, or how my bike would like to call it: How I lost almost all my screws.
and burned 10 sets of brake pads in one day. 😃🙌
or how the metal bar that holds my right leg together puts it: How i put my master in hospital..... again.
😂
And ruined my rims!
You culd also call it. The most stairs on a pathway ever.

Yeah, I still run my hardtail with Rock Shox up front but wouldn't dare to hit this course.
Those fences/hand rails that line the course are scary as hell, great way to break a femur
These bikes take an absolute pounding!

Honestly from how hard this guy was pedaling I'd be done 20 seconds in 😂
And blowing a whistle the whole way down too! 🙂
Its downhill so the pedalling isnt that difficult.. its the ridiclous corners, jumps and drops that would be where i would fail after 5 seconds
I didn't see him pedal once, probably didn't need to...
@@buttermybutt7 He did, but not much. It's extremely exhausting regardless.
I'd be DEAD that far in! Either from exertion or splattered brains!
PQP!!!!
Essa foi a descida mais difícil que já vi!!!!
👍😎👍
That's a beautiful mountain.
I can only imagine how sore my arms would feel after that!
Grandiosa forma de descender ✨
Just watched this yesterday This is the view I’ve been waiting for RESPECT all round
OMG that terrifies me!
The cost of failure looks so high .... and there are so very many opportunities to fail!
Salut! The riders must need wheelbarrows to carry their cohones.

2:42 I'm scared of the sharp roof edges 😵
All I can think of is Sam Pilgrim and how he'd call this the most massive "Stairset of Doom" on the planet!
I love those whistles!
Props to the whistle guy keeping up with him
WHAT?! THIS IS MADNESS!!
Wow 🤩
That is a real down hill run !
Omg! Mind blown! Such a sick line!
And what crazy endurance!
I always knew practicing riding down the stairs from the attic would pay off!
You're also very physically exhausting.
I've been casually watching these videos for a while now, but I can see the hard work

Newer seen anything like in my life , these guys must have balls of steel .
the stone path is pretty amazing, whoever built it can take a bow

That person chasing him with the whistle is cray 🤣
My body is numb just watching this. That track is brutal.
Oh my goodness…hats off to this guy 👌👌
Always been a fan
Me and my dad would go up that mountain at 5am for fun 🤣🤣
I would hate to have to walk up that thing :) Awesome.
Anyone else think pilgs should hit this huge stairset of DOOM?? Haha
This is super amazing tho
Omg you cant even breath in Bogota cause the altitude! This is AMAZING
Beautiful!
The Suspension:„it’s my First time…“😅✌🏽
Awesome. But... it's just gnarly. Imagine clipping a pedal somewhere. I got a movie flashback from the 1979 movie Jaws, where Richard Dreyfuss drives the boat and goes: "I don't have to take this abuse any longer". Must be how the bike felt :)
Ultimate stair set of doom.
Crazy! This track is probably slippery like hell. At least the wet parts.
Impressive beyond belief. KUDOs to anyone even attempting this.
seriously impressive
That bike's suspension is gonna need a cigarette aftet that run
real *stairset of doom* :)
Holy crap! That was awesome!
My knees are hurting watching this
This is like the mountain biking equivalent of the Isle of Man TT in terms of requiring intimate track knowledge and very little margin for error. I would seriously mess myself up trying to do that, I know I would.
Isle of Man is MENTAL.
Great Job 🏁. From 🇺🇲
INSANE...!!
this is my usual way to work
That’s nuts!
A shout out to the stair builders. Nice!
This is how I get to school but boy is it hard coming home
My fork on that downhill ride will say....
YAAAMMEEETTEEEE SSEEENNNPPAAAIII 😂😂😂
Those beautiful and crazy.
Amazing!! I fell off the bike just watching!!!
the arm pump by the bottom (tbh by 1/4 way down) would be outta this world!
Nuts, just crazyy, but very impressive !😀
I was going to watch another video after this but I need to wait and catch my breath first.
Damnnnn. That’s impressive
so many stairs! Crazy!
That’s fun ride!
This is wild and insane! :O
It takes about one hour to get to the top of that mountain walking at a fast pace. He covered this distance in five minutes.
Very impressive! However, more impressive, the guy who can run up it!
Respekt 😯! Volle Action 👏👌👍🏻
I love the stair set of doom
That was awesome!
This is similar to my bike ride to work trying to make it before my 7 minute late show grace period every morning..
you're good and fast ride rider.. supportttttted
Red Bull gives you wings.
Absolutely insane
really cool ride
That's friggin crazy!!!! WOW!!
All the people with whistles screaming at him lmao. Gave me more anxiety than the jumps.
I felt the burn on that early uphill section
INSANE!
I am exhausted just watching this.
I want to do this so bad , ill see u soon red bull bike!
Nice!
Gret run from Pedro.
This is a pretty long Cushcore ad, they better sponsor him now!
Thank goodness we now have camera stabilization 😁👋
Imagine walking up that path😱😱😱😱😱
impressionnant !!!😎
Hard ! 🔥🔥🔥
That looked awesome. I wouldn't want to try it though. I feel like I need to go sit in an ice bath after just watching it.
pretty impressive
Neat, it would be interesting to compare speeds to a rider on a XC bike
You mean uphill ?😆
An xc bike would super bottom out, I would not ride 130 front 130 rear on this at all!
My legs and spine hurt watching this
Diese Trillerpfeifen regen mich übel auf
