This might just be the sketchiest South American urban DH race yet!

We’ve seen some pretty dodgy-looking urban downhill races in recent months, but this one in Manizales, Colombia might just take the biscuit! The wallride looks like it was knocked up from stuff found in a skip, we’re sure those steps claimed a rim or two and you wouldn’t want to mess up one of those jumps!

New Giant Factory Off-Road Team signing Marcelo Gutiérrez took top honours in the men’s race, beating the likes of Mitch Ropelato, Cam Zink and Kyle Strait, while Susana Calle was the fastest woman. Check out Gutiérrez’s winning run below – does he go round those hay bales at 1:15 or through them?!

Things didn’t go quite so smoothly for him in practice, though!
