 They need a US race next year in this series in San Francisco, CA. It's steep and hilly enough.

 This!

 If we tie it into our Gay Parade, then we can make it happen.

 Would the US allow something like this? Just thinking about insurance, legality, consent forms, etc etc etc.....

 @medievalbiking such negative energy bro

 @Stevenwalton206 I'd love to see an urban DH in San Francisco, but I stand by my comment that it would be difficult legally. Nitro circus used to go to Mexico for some of their stunts that weren't even in the middle of a city to avoid legal issues, so I imagine it would be difficult. Positive or negative energy has nothing to do with it.

 If the US wasn't full of busybodies who are overly concerned about other people's individual consequences/responsibilities, and weren't armed to the teeth with lawyers ready to sue at will - we could totally have some urban DH races here.

 the problem in the USA is most people do nat have health care forcing huge insurance rates for events. Then we have to tell all the shop owners and inhabitants to stay off the course and close their shops........not seeing that any time soon. It could be mounted in a downtown business area that sees no traffic on the weekend then it might work......just the right sponsor.....hello RED BULL USA!

 Bernardo can beat Polc twice at urban terrain. And got a lot of talent and speed. I wish he would have the same support as the non South Americans riders do.

 haha that will never happen, a average white caucasian rider born in europe or north américa can sell, with the invaluable support of RC of course, more avid brakes (just to take an innocent example) in one month than Cruz throughout his life

 I'd like to see an event in old Quebec in Quebec city, we have the hills stairs and damn nice backdrop. I mean redbull hold the crashed ice here. Start up by the Citadel and make it all the way down to the docks.

 They could follow a similar course to the crashed ice course

 No Brasil as empresas relacionadas ao DH não apoiam ou promovem este tipo de evento, sendo grande maioria organizada por grupos de ciclistas afim de se divertir e chamar mais atenção para o esporte. Ver um Brasileiro em primeiro ou participando deste tipo de evento é uma coisa para se orgulhar já que no Brasil a vários lugares para se praticar e não se tem um apoio. Lembrando também que aqui pelo menos é um esporte muito caro.

 Lets have a race like this in Australia. But to race, you MUST chug a beer at the top seconds before your race run begins. I'd pay to watch that!

 That course looks so goddamn fun!

 rly? i think its the worst city dh course of all

 I agree with both statements. This course looks REALLY fun to ride, but there are some significantly better urban dh courses out there.
