Surprisingly, that poor girl did not look too happy about having her bedroom wall removed for a bike race....

People in Taxco are hands down the biggest fans of DH in the world. If you ride a bike in Taxco, you're getting laid. I was at the athlete after party (which is one of the craziest ever), and girls lined outside of the hotel hoping to get inside and hook up with the riders. Riders get to sign hats, posters, body parts and babys, and not only super pro riders like Rheeder Makken or r- Dog, if you are on a dh bike on those three days in Taxco, you'll probably sign an autograph or two. That being said, I assure you it was ok for the home owners to have their wall taken down for the event, compensation apart. She was just camera shy.

@mau12; Yeah, I believe that man... I've been down in Brazil before and I know it's a different world down south than here in the U.S. People down there like events like this because it brings life and excitement in to their life. It is something new something to see because life is kinda slow and boring in these neighborhoods. I was down there for 6 weeks to film a U.S.-Brazil military exchange training and the local Military Policia took us to a neighborhood like this with bulletproof vests on. People over there don't do much, just hang out on the streets and wait for something to happen... but when we went in town the girls were all over the Americans too.... so I can see that they would be ok with modifying the house for an event like this....
I still hope the wall was put back and the house was fixed up after the event was over though...

hahah, I like your view.. There are some lazy bums here indeed, but I dont think life is kinda slow here nor that thats the reason for their excitement. I think it is because mtb-dh is so unusual here that when there is an event, people get curious. That doesnt apply to "soccer" though. And the excitement about the americans is 100% true.

Surely this was posted the other day? Does Trek pay to boost it to the top of the news feed much like 'Sponsored' posts on Facebook...

True! It's like insecure teenagers that delete their Instagram photos then re-upload them during social media 'prime time' if they don't get enough likes.

Really PB? You put my comment below threshold? All I did was call users out for saying Rheeder was gonna turn Rampage into a Slopstyle Event, based upon what I thought they might say about him racing DH.

Eat dirt...how's that for below threshold!!!

I only wish this video was about 3, 3.5 times longer. I have found it really hard to find footage from this event!

Fans on the rooftops ... good vibes. Also takes big bawls to speed these tracks with animals criss-crossing!
