Friday Downhill Practice GoPro
Taxco is an old silver mining town that spills up and over a very steep mountainside. And they’ve decided to hold a bike race in town. Following the tight and twisty alleyways and down countless sets of stairs, there is a downhill track. The “non-traditional” terrain is what makes these urban races so unique.
A lift to the top of a downhill track is done with a shuttle vehicle that would scrape its chassis on every speed bump, so on more than a few occasions a few riders would have to hop out and help push. It’s all in the spirit of competitive fun.
