Welcome to the most famous and respected urban downhill race from South America, the Red Bull Valparaiso Cerro Abajo.
There are a bunch of graffities and paintings on the walls of Valparaiso.

Riders share their impressions after their trainings runs early from early in the day.
Marcos Preciado from Mexico flying over the stair set. That part was the longest one of the whole track and where you could get a lot of speed.
Filip Polc jumping off a house.
Adolfo Almarza kind of missed the landing from this house step-down and hit the ground hard. Fortunately, after a couple minutes he was fine and finished his run.
Simone Medicci from Italy.
Close up shot.
More art on the walls.
Tomas Slavik riding through a tiny corridor of Valparaiso. Unfortunately, he couldn’t finish his run due to a flat tire.
Jorge Carvajal from Chile.
Another wallride shot with Marco Zanini.
The gnarliest wallride on the course.
Johannes Fischbach never stopped pedalling and was always focused. That’s how he won the race.
Filip Polc fought his way to the top but unfortunately he couldn’t beat Fischbach’s time.
The top 3 riders together.
You have probably seen Dennis’ crash video on your social media feed. He was all good and smiling.
Podium shot: Filip Polc, Johannes Fischbash & Bernardo Cruz.
Until next time Valparaiso.
