I was in Bogota when they were building this course and some of the jumps were brutal - the video doesn't do it justice. I was exhausting just walking down Respect to everyone who rode it down and lets not forget the great gang of guys & gals who constructed the course.
I think "the great gang of guys and gals who built this course" are sadistic. I would be nervous walking down. Some of those ramps look like they would launch you into the trees.
As someone who recently broke several ribs, received significant road rash, and obliterated a clavicle by falling off a mountain bike landing on the roadway at high speeds... Thank you for doing / recording this, My days of doing anything fun on a mountain bike are over, but with videos like this i don't mind as much.
When we raced back in the mid 80's, mtn bikes had no suspension. To do this course on one of those bikes would be unthinkable. Come to think of it, I still wouldn't want to try this on any bike. Well beyond my comfort zone. Kudos to the guys and gals who make it look easy.
I love these urban courses, the one in Rio is awesome too. If you like these also check out the Megavalance race, downhill starting in the snow in the French Alps. In the first icy turn, there's always like a million-bike crash. Lower down the snow gives way to beautiful meadows and shady forests and finally a very old town.
OMG that terrifies me! The cost of failure looks so high .... and there are so very many opportunities to fail! Salut! The riders must need wheelbarrows to carry their cohones.
love the little step helpers at 0:54. At that point the riders are seconds from descending 1000 stone steps and clearing some big gaps but I'll bet they were appreciative of those little ramps? Amazing course and riders.
Watching this makes me think of my cousins son TREVOR BELL. He was chosen a few years back to be a part of the Olympic bike team. Insane footage, thank you for sharing...
You're also very physically exhausting. I've been casually watching these videos for a while now, but I can see the hard work that goes into selecting the course, preparing the equipment, and training the staff.
This is like the mountain biking equivalent of the Isle of Man TT in terms of requiring intimate track knowledge and very little margin for error. I would seriously mess myself up trying to do that, I know I would.
We actually do walk them up. Some people do it for religious reasons, some just to try, and some for sport (I do the latter). For an experienced runner it could take about 23 minutes to climb. For most people, about 1 or 1.5 hours. We start at 2.700 meters over sea level and finish at 3.100. It's madness. Cheers from Bogotá, Colombia
Es el mejor manejo de una bici jamás visto... Increíble la verdad, un trayecto muy peligroso y muy estrecho, además de un montón de escaleras y curvas cerradas... La verdad es toda una gesta.
Awesome. But... it's just gnarly. Imagine clipping a pedal somewhere. I got a movie flashback from the 1979 movie Jaws, where Richard Dreyfuss drives the boat and goes: "I don't have to take this abuse any longer". Must be how the bike felt :)
Hope his asthma improves. Mine goes crazy when going uphill. Downhill, not so much. If you're wheezing after two seconds of going down hill and pulled by gravity, you have a serious issue. He needs to see the doctor quick.
Who else can feel the arm pump? 💪🥵
Lol it must be terrible
Can't imagine how bad his arms must be burning after that killer run!
Nuh he has the rebound on full fast and compesion on soft and he doesn't fill anything 😂
@@rosdiani6094 lol wth
@@sargiotis still gonna hurt tho. After a run like that suspension can't save you entirely

Hell, I'm exhausted after _watching_ this.. 😵
Imagine the stone masons.
I live in bogota, the video just doesnt show how steep the stairs are haha
@@soundtester3991 Yeah as an off-road enthusiast I can confirm, the camera never does justice to how steep it really is to ride on!

Insane. Even more insane is the design of that whole path.
Incredible biking aside - let's take a moment and appreciate the herculean effort that went in to building this mind-boggling stone path.
Built by slaves probably..
@@user-cd8gl8du3q man why you gotta do that
@@Big_Funky bogata.. Colombia..had slaves from the 16th century to 1851.. just a wild guess..no offence intended 👯👓👯
Everyone for miles has one heck of a commute.
@@user-cd8gl8du3q minimum wage in Colombia is slavery. No social security at all.
That track is mad!

Thank you for doing / recording this,
My days of doing anything fun on a mountain bike are over, but with videos like this i don't mind as much.
Get well soon 💐
Absolute madness. Loved every second. Now let's see them race back up
Race back up? Only perverts want to see that mate.👀
Cross Country style, eh?
YES ! I don't think they had to pedal once for the entire down-hill leg. the up-hill will be brutal !
@@dave-in-nj9393 they’re pedaling a hellua lot more than you’d expect
@@dave-in-nj9393 trust me, downhill wears you tf out
One of the craziest athletic events I've ever seen. Pumped me up just watching it!
How my father describes his journey to school back in his day :')
Too funny
My father's version was all uphill - and snow.
Damn you beat me to it
@@SilentKnight43 *and barefoot
it was dark too for mine
When Pedro whacked that limb with his head, it startled the crap out of me. 🤣
0:54 how nice to have that little slope down that two stairs, when they're going down a few thousand more anyways :D
it's the little things in life 💫😅

Yeah, I still run my hardtail with Rock Shox up front but wouldn't dare to hit this course.
Thank you, just what I like to see, no annoying intros I have to skip through, just straight to the legitimate video
The Longest Urban Downhill Race on the Planet, or how my bike would like to call it: How I lost almost all my screws.
and burned 10 sets of brake pads in one day. 😃🙌
or how the metal bar that holds my right leg together puts it: How i put my master in hospital..... again.
😂
And ruined my rims!
You culd also call it. The most stairs on a pathway ever.

Honestly from how hard this guy was pedaling I'd be done 20 seconds in 😂
And blowing a whistle the whole way down too! 🙂
Its downhill so the pedalling isnt that difficult.. its the ridiclous corners, jumps and drops that would be where i would fail after 5 seconds
I didn't see him pedal once, probably didn't need to...
@@buttermybutt7 He did, but not much. It's extremely exhausting regardless.
I'd be DEAD that far in! Either from exertion or splattered brains!
Those fences/hand rails that line the course are scary as hell, great way to break a femur
OMG that terrifies me!
The cost of failure looks so high .... and there are so very many opportunities to fail!
Salut! The riders must need wheelbarrows to carry their cohones.
All I can think of is Sam Pilgrim and how he'd call this the most massive "Stairset of Doom" on the planet!
2:42 I'm scared of the sharp roof edges 😵
These bikes take an absolute pounding!
love the little step helpers at 0:54. At that point the riders are seconds from descending 1000 stone steps and clearing some big gaps but I'll bet they were appreciative of those little ramps? Amazing course and riders.
Props to the whistle guy keeping up with him
Just watched this yesterday This is the view I’ve been waiting for RESPECT all round
Anyone else think pilgs should hit this huge stairset of DOOM?? Haha
This is super amazing tho
Watching this makes me think of my cousins son TREVOR BELL. He was chosen a few years back to be a part of the Olympic bike team. Insane footage, thank you for sharing...
That's a beautiful mountain.
You're also very physically exhausting.
I've been casually watching these videos for a while now, but I can see the hard work
that goes into selecting the course, preparing the equipment, and training the staff.
the stone path is pretty amazing, whoever built it can take a bow
I can only imagine how sore my arms would feel after that!
I love those whistles!
Newer seen anything like in my life , these guys must have balls of steel .
It takes about one hour to get to the top of that mountain walking at a fast pace. He covered this distance in five minutes.
Omg! Mind blown! Such a sick line!
And what crazy endurance!
WHAT?! THIS IS MADNESS!!
Grandiosa forma de descender ✨
This is like the mountain biking equivalent of the Isle of Man TT in terms of requiring intimate track knowledge and very little margin for error. I would seriously mess myself up trying to do that, I know I would.
Isle of Man is MENTAL.
real *stairset of doom* :)
does anyone else think that there is no way people walk up those stairs?!

PQP!!!!
Essa foi a descida mais difícil que já vi!!!!
👍😎👍
I always knew practicing riding down the stairs from the attic would pay off!
WHAT for a test of suspension, wheels and kardio from drivers…but very nice track 👍🏻👍🏻 handmade 💪🏻💪🏻
Es el mejor manejo de una bici jamás visto... Increíble la verdad, un trayecto muy peligroso y muy estrecho, además de un montón de escaleras y curvas cerradas... La verdad es toda una gesta.
That person chasing him with the whistle is cray 🤣
Omg you cant even breath in Bogota cause the altitude! This is AMAZING
All the people with whistles screaming at him lmao. Gave me more anxiety than the jumps.
INSANE...!!
My body is numb just watching this. That track is brutal.
Now that was a lot of steps ...all I can't say is ..no way would I walk up that hill
I did it last sunday :)
Awesome. But... it's just gnarly. Imagine clipping a pedal somewhere. I got a movie flashback from the 1979 movie Jaws, where Richard Dreyfuss drives the boat and goes: "I don't have to take this abuse any longer". Must be how the bike felt :)
The Suspension:„it’s my First time…“😅✌🏽
Impressive beyond belief. KUDOs to anyone even attempting this.
Great Job 🏁. From 🇺🇲
I feel like "urban" ia a stretch on this one but ill take it grate video
Agreed, looks like a huge set of stairs on the side of a hill to me
Wow 🤩
That is a real down hill run !
Hope his asthma improves. Mine goes crazy when going uphill. Downhill, not so much. If you're wheezing after two seconds of going down hill and pulled by gravity, you have a serious issue. He needs to see the doctor quick.
Thank goodness we now have camera stabilization 😁👋
Red Bull gives you wings.
My knees are hurting watching this
My fork on that downhill ride will say....
YAAAMMEEETTEEEE SSEEENNNPPAAAIII 😂😂😂
Ultimate stair set of doom.
Oh my goodness…hats off to this guy 👌👌
A shout out to the stair builders. Nice!
seriously impressive
Me and my dad would go up that mountain at 5am for fun 🤣🤣
the arm pump by the bottom (tbh by 1/4 way down) would be outta this world!
I would hate to have to walk up that thing :) Awesome.
Good lord. How did those stairs not turn your spine to powder? That looks painful
2:17 *STUSH*
Always been a fan
Diese Trillerpfeifen regen mich übel auf
Neat, it would be interesting to compare speeds to a rider on a XC bike
You mean uphill ?😆
An xc bike would super bottom out, I would not ride 130 front 130 rear on this at all!
No impress, I like it better when they go thru the community and people's houses
Very impressive! However, more impressive, the guy who can run up it!
These people are insane!
Gret run from Pedro.
This is a pretty long Cushcore ad, they better sponsor him now!
Congrats!!! You made it down without death or serious injury!! Now you have to walk back up... 🤣🤣
Crazy! This track is probably slippery like hell. At least the wet parts.
My legs and spine hurt watching this
Nasty 5 minutes of steps
Beautiful!
holy , so many stairs now he got bigger arms than markus rühl 😂💪
Those beautiful and crazy.
this is my usual way to work
Nuts, just crazyy, but very impressive !😀
That’s nuts!
My ears popped 15 times just watching this
This is how I get to school but boy is it hard coming home
🔥Pedrito burns looked soo composed on the bike, it was incredible🔥
INSANE!
Looks as comfortable as it is friendly.
Imagine walking up that path😱😱😱😱😱
Respekt 😯! Volle Action 👏👌👍🏻
Dangerous ride
My 2 year old daughter dropped her ball at the top of these steps.....screamed & screamed. She's 19 now & I'm only half way back up.
Wow, going down the 7 thousand steps on your Steed with Tropical Skyrim just got an insane graphics upgrade
Those damn whistle blowers
Damnnnn. That’s impressive
Y'all are crazy, but ALIVE....WOW...too dangerous for me... exhilarating though...
Amazing!! I fell off the bike just watching!!!
