That time of the year again. Chilean style urban nuttiness. Some photos coming off VitalMTB: that place looks HOT, but gorgeous!




Wall ride being made. I bet this is where the photogs will be hanging out as well. expect carnage.


foam and cling wrap. Novel! didnt Needles bail here about 2 VCAs ago?




Filip Polc's Evil Undead complete with saddlepost cam.

oh and the city of valparaiso secured the race for the next three years. That's a pretty sweet setup, obviously with good dialogue between race organizers and the city fathers. Now that's how it should be done, no bitching and moaning and being all uppity.

random thought; wonder if they'll ever string together something of an Urban World Cup.
