I like how the dog was narrowly avoided in the beginning [laugh]
Nothing like moving obstacles on the course.

Yeah. Derby from a few years ago.
One thing i didn't know about this video, but the guy was wearing a pin strip suit during the run. Check out the arms in the first few seconds then the coat tail in the shadows.
Jeebus. That was insane. Not only was the course super-technical, but if you look at all the unpadded poles, walls, corners, plus the deep open gutters, curbs, etc. the penalty for mistakes or failures would not doubt be a hospital visit at best. :o
Even if this was hot in Chile, probably not a Chilean.
This one was in the news last week:

That looked bad enough that I went and tried to find the outcome - Zink escaped serious injury! [thumbsup]

Watching the POV camera, I realized that I'd be dead or at least violently re-arranged long before I got to the final gap jump...

And the UCI official at the end telling him that, while it's probably not regulation gear, they're going to allow it - after he's already run the course! [laugh]
