They call it The Craziest Downhill Bike Course EVER, and you know what? I believe 'em.

Since I was watching it from the point of view of the rear rider, every time the forward rider did something insane, the first thought in my head was "you're going to make me do that too, aren't you?" I am sweating. Seriously.

Still shaking a bit. That was intense.

Where the hell is that? My sphincter is curled in the corner, shaking and crying.

Seems to be a thing in Chile.

It didn't get me as much as yesterday's skate video, but man...that town would be a terrible place to live for a hill averse dude like myself.

Thanks, flapjax at midnite!

Where the hell is that?

Ah... I did a little bit of a search and came up with this: Taxco de Alarcón (aka Taxco), Mexico.

And more here... this insanity took place on 5 November 2012. The lead cyclist was someone called Brendan Fairclough (aka Brendog). And the guy with the camera is Mauricio Acuña.

You think that's hard, try doing it uphill.

I can practically feel the bumps of that course in the roots of my teeth.

Yep.

It looks like it's a run through, but it's not that different to the winning run in Mister Bijou's link.

Life imitates computer games/a child's imagination. Like that Danny MacAskill Imaginate thing, across a whole town.

There's a whole series of these - I think they are sponsored by Red Bull (who else?) and have normally been in Brazil. This POV vid will make your heart race.

Does what it says on the label. Going to go vomit now (and that's a positive review).
