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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 stone path took over a decade to build with city resources in the mid 2010s. the historic path has been around since colonial times. Ive climbed both and this new one is much easier with barely any mud.
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!

Get well soon 💐
That track is mad!
One of the craziest athletic events I've ever seen. Pumped me up just watching it!
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
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..
@@M711-n5n 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.
@@M711-n5n minimum wage in Colombia is slavery. No social security at all.
Thank you, just what I like to see, no annoying intros I have to skip through, just straight to the legitimate video
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

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.
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 💫😅
@@RedBullBike i dibs a free helmet lol
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

Yeah, I still run my hardtail with Rock Shox up front but wouldn't dare to hit this course.
All I can think of is Sam Pilgrim and how he'd call this the most massive "Stairset of Doom" on the planet!
These bikes take an absolute pounding!
Props to the whistle guy keeping up with him
2:42 I'm scared of the sharp roof edges 😵

Just watched this yesterday This is the view I’ve been waiting for RESPECT all round
I can only imagine how sore my arms would feel after that!
the stone path is pretty amazing, whoever built it can take a bow

Anyone else think pilgs should hit this huge stairset of DOOM?? Haha
This is super amazing tho
That's a beautiful mountain.
Does anyone have the link to the drone coverage during this race? Would love to see that view as well!
My body is numb just watching this. That track is brutal.
Newer seen anything like in my life , these guys must have balls of steel .
Omg you cant even breath in Bogota cause the altitude! This is AMAZING
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.
I love those whistles!
WHAT?! THIS IS MADNESS!!
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.
Wow 🤩
That is a real down hill run !
Ultimate stair set of doom.
Impressive beyond belief. KUDOs to anyone even attempting this.
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.
That person chasing him with the whistle is cray 🤣

PQP!!!!
Essa foi a descida mais difícil que já vi!!!!
👍😎👍
Omg! Mind blown! Such a sick line!
And what crazy endurance!
the arm pump by the bottom (tbh by 1/4 way down) would be outta this world!
Me and my dad would go up that mountain at 5am for fun 🤣🤣
Great Job 🏁. From 🇺🇲
I always knew practicing riding down the stairs from the attic would pay off!
The Suspension:„it’s my First time…“😅✌🏽
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.
Respekt 😯! Volle Action 👏👌👍🏻
Wow, going down the 7 thousand steps on your Steed with Tropical Skyrim just got an insane graphics upgrade
This is how I get to school but boy is it hard coming home
Grandiosa forma de descender ✨
Why the whistle blowing?
Gret run from Pedro.
This is a pretty long Cushcore ad, they better sponsor him now!
I would hate to have to walk up that thing :) Awesome.
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 :)
🤔how do you pre-pair for that, do you have some kind gym core sessions?
My fork on that downhill ride will say....
YAAAMMEEETTEEEE SSEEENNNPPAAAIII 😂😂😂
Very impressive! However, more impressive, the guy who can run up it!
My knees are hurting watching this
Thank goodness we now have camera stabilization 😁👋
This is similar to my bike ride to work trying to make it before my 7 minute late show grace period every morning..
Whoever walks up all of that with their feet is a brave soul.
Holy crap! That was awesome!
Crazy! This track is probably slippery like hell. At least the wet parts.
Oh my goodness…hats off to this guy 👌👌
Always been a fan
INSANE...!!
Beautiful!
real *stairset of doom* :)
Congrats!!! You made it down without death or serious injury!! Now you have to walk back up... 🤣🤣
I want to do this so bad , ill see u soon red bull bike!
This is the hill our fathers walked to school uphill both ways in the snow.
the real heroes are the locals who have walk up those stairs!!!
That looked awesome. I wouldn't want to try it though. I feel like I need to go sit in an ice bath after just watching it.
Talk about putting shocks on the forks
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!
All the people with whistles screaming at him lmao. Gave me more anxiety than the jumps.
I just wonder how long it took them to build the road/path that was used and how many people have used it since then.
I would imagine that the origin of that path probably goes back at least a hundred years.
the stone path took over a decade to build with city resources in the mid 2010s. the historic path has been around since colonial times. Ive climbed both and this new one is much easier with barely any mud.
Red Bull gives you wings.
Nuts, just crazyy, but very impressive !😀
A shout out to the stair builders. Nice!
That was awesome!
I was going to watch another video after this but I need to wait and catch my breath first.
This is wild and insane! :O
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.
Amazing!! I fell off the bike just watching!!!
Hard ! 🔥🔥🔥
A crash would be painful no dirt just rocks.
Good lord. How did those stairs not turn your spine to powder? That looks painful
Amazing!!!
That's so f#&@ing great!
Excellent 👍🏻
Alternate title: man bikes down stairs for 5 minutes and doesn’t break anything
That’s nuts!
Nice!
This probably the first time ever I watched a full UA-cam vid and said “wait it’s done already?”
this is my usual way to work
This looks so fun! What bike was he on?
seriously impressive
