THE MOST SENSATIONAL URBAN EVENT OF THE YEAR! - TINEE WAS THERE

Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill Race

VALPARAÍSO — The bikers are descending the steep streets of the city and are offering a show for the huge cheering crowds along the long track. This scene will took place on the yesterday.

But what is the Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill Race?

It is an eight-year-old annual event with up to 10,000 visitors. Furthermore it is one of the longest-running biking competitions in the rugged urban jungles perched right atop the hills of Chile. The view itself is worth a visit!

What is difficult, as well as a really interesting aspect about this race, is that the competitors have to navigate a race course that abandons the normal streets and pathways;  it weaves around stairs, inside buildings, through windows, until it finally ends on the second store window of a greenhouse.

The event is wildly exciting, especially as there are very few restrictions and spectators can approach the race and be only a few feet away from the action. Additionally it takes place in the beautiful port of Valparaiso where you can walk along the seashore after the spectacular race.

Dodging dogs, fans and stairs is what the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill is all about. Filip Polc, a 5-time veteran of the event, took home his 3rd victory, returning to the top as King of the Street.
