From Marcelo:

The most crowded urban downhill race ever, insane track, sweet stair gaps, huge jumps, high speed sections, tight sections is what Valparaiso Cerro Abajo 2013 was all about. So stoked about winning, was definitely a tight race, also a tough one. race times were close and such a good number of top riders went to this event. Honestly, I was struggling with my fear during practice, looking at all those huge jumps; jumps without safety decks were making me have a hard time especially knowing that the WC season is coming soon. Thanks to everybody who helped me win this race, special thanks to Red Bull Chile, Giant Chile, Tiago Souza, Julio and Victor VCA for the invitation.

PS: Check out how I almost died on the last wall ride, landing over the right edge.

 This whole thing of red bull sponsoring such events and athletes deserves that I buy a six pack of red bull even if you dont drink it! A su salud!

 Bloody fast! The fact that it is humanly possible to shred a bike that hard is a testament to the engineering achievement they truly are. Did you see how fast he was coming in to the finish line and how quickly he slowed down? Prettyyyy sick. On the other hand, Marcelo is truly coming into his own! He is damn quick.
