Bikes cost 3 times more, people earn 2x less and there is no infra-structure for the sport.
If your family can support you then you are luck guy, otherwise go play soccer.
By your name, seems you're a Brazilian...Mr. "Sebastião" cause just ourselves take our country down, it's a plague from Brazilians talk bad things about our own country, even that things that we say are a real situation.
Should lost this passion for 'knock down' our homeland...
Agreed. I'm a french guy (I already thought MTB was expensive in France compared to USA) living right now in Brasil. I had to give up MTB since it's waaaay too expensive in relation to what I get paid (and I'm not the worst). I can't wait to come back in the USA so I can ride again. God I miss it !
So you are ok with 2% economy growth, inflation of 7% a year and paying 70% of import taxes to buy a decent bike? I love my country. The problem is what people are doing with it. It looks like you missed my pointt. The true hurts, but pretending everything is beautiful is hyppcrisy
A verdade sobre a situação do Brasil está aí pra todo mundo ver, mas não é por isso vamos desistir dos nossos sonhos e desistir de lutar, temos q mudar a realidade e isso tem q partir de nós mesmos, de mim mesmo, Temos q fazer a nossa parte e a de mais umas dez pessoas, vamos pra cima e vamos com força!!!! BIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
yea many of poles starting ride on ht frames in dh beacouse we dont have money for bikes :/ Poland is good country,but we have retarded leaders of the country :C
Bah mock, eu tento fazer o que posso, mas o negativismo desse povo só afunda mais ainda essa merda... Eu desisto de tentar fazer algo. hehehe. Tem que se fuder mesmo.
it´s a good video.......but the DH track is easier than the XC.........it´s not a DH track for a panamerican championships.....the allmountain bikes went ahead.....a lot of pedaling........!.....i´m happy for marcelo gutierrez .... colombian DH is growing........we need to take of the bad imagine of our country........here we have a paradise for DH in all months of the year......and beatifull people.
The video can be well done, nice images edit and sound but the race was the Shitiest ever with a big 4x track to be raced with downhill bikes. The race was won by a XC bike not even an allmountain or enduro rig. So this is an continental downhill race??? Thanks Confederação Brasileira de Downhill!
The problem its not Brazil but some Brazilians that create problem to the rest of the country, the people of the country have the power to change, just need to raise that power, for example, if nobody was happy with this place for the competition, protest, did not go to race, do some thing real to change, take serious, no only talk and complain, you guys don't need to compare but show that Brazil its more than soccer and carnival, so fight for it!
4:35.. quick tip for MTB racers: If you are in the podium, do not open your mouth if someone else is spraying you with champaign... just don't... No questions allowed!
