 Sorry, but I was there and the whole race was much better than reported, the pics don't do justice to the locations. On the other hand they say Corral was dry but even if it didn't rain during that weekend in the first special I got soaked in the 3or 4 mud puddles/pools, fortunately enough there was a small river at the end to wash the dirt out of the bike and garments.

 Or you could step up and learn Spanish instead of expecting everything to cater to your native tongue. When Chilean slang started flowing out of my ethincally Scottish mouth I was greeted with open arms and pretty much welcomed as family. Nothing like traveling in a country and speaking the language...especialemente con los Chilenos. Viva Chile, Mierda!

 Actually I do know Spanish. Not fluent, but enough to understand most things. I'm just saying that the majority of viewers on this video probably know English, and it would be helpful.

 So you want the video showing the last event in the Latin American Enduro Series to be in English so you can understand it instead of motivating Spanish-speaking riders in Latin America to go race the series?

 Chilean language is very easy... some tips: Give me a beer / Dame una chela ...... Hi dude!! / Hola Hueón!! ..... Do you understand?? = Cachai?? ..... Where is the party?? / Donde es el mambo??......... I'm tired!! / Toi chato!! ...... This trail is difficult!!! / Pista culiá pelúa!!! ....... This is awesome, man!!! / La zorra la weá, loco!!

 For sure english subtitles on an english-written website like PB would be better! But at the end we all know what's all about: ride hard and have fun!
