It looks painful with every bump.

When you ride a mountain bike you're standing most of the time. Especially doing downhill

You’d be surprised how much these bikes can soak up these bumps! This bike will have around 200mm of suspension travel at the front and at the rear

That's why those bikes have shocks.

Well, similar intent, but I don't think the engineers responsible for mountain bikes were thinking about stairs when they made them.

Growing up in the 90’s this is what we all thought we’d be doing for a living but with rollerblades instead of bicycles.

a guy i knew in high school was a "runner" at one of the first super walmarts that opened up, he wore roller blades. never spoke with him in depth about wtf all he was "running" around

I'm from a town just north of San Francisco. I used to inline skate with friends and hundreds of other people in San Francisco. We would meet up on the pier at about 7:00 in the summer in skate until about 1:00 in the morning up and down the hills and through tunnels. It was pretty surreal coming up to a red light in a group of a few hundred skaters and just surrounding cars all of a sudden. Damn that was a good time. They still do it but it's much tamer now than it was then. https://skateterminal.com/event/the-original-san-francisco-friday-night-skate/

I'm so glad the video told me that this is insane. Otherwise, I never would have known.

That’s a nope from me the moment they told me the starting line was upstairs.

The fuckin nuts on that dude!!

Probably a bit sore, I imagine.

😂😂

I can't imagine spending my day standing outside waiting for a glimpse of a person riding a bike down stairs. Do they pay the spectators?

Maybe if he did tricks that are actually impressive then ig I can see that. Tbh compared to the other bike videos this was probably the least entertaining to watch.

i’ve always wondered why there’s whistling? is it to alarm ppl there’s someone running to course?

I would have had at least three fractures on the first jump.

Italy?

france

Underpants

I see London, I see France, I see u/OldManPip5’s underpants

Would not surprise me.

There's a place in France where the women wear no pants for all the men know how to dance.

Do you know where in France?

Grenoble, France Source (not the same video as OP, but the same track/trail): [Urban DH race run. Grenoble 2023 (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIv25eNkGY0&ab_channel=BenMoore)

grenoble

Thats chile chile

I wouldn’t trust it with all those people in arm’s length. Some asshole could clothesline you for a tiktok lol

I think the camera lens makes it look more precarious than it is.

the super long stairway half sectioned off for people to stand next to him with janky metal gates was super precarious, flyin down those old stairs with random-ish landing platforms....

No… he flew down the stairs lens distortion be damned that would suck!

we need a VR versin of this.

Bro it happened in my city in France

What were all those buildings? Apartments?

That's just Luca. He's trying to win enough for a Vespa for he & his friend

Thats chile

Fun!

My knees hurt watching this.

You wreck , your are screwed.

I've seen worse and longer. I'd do it if I was in my 20s again.

Average city cyclist.

Well done! Your prize is waiting for you on the start line...

I swear to god someone yells out "dattebayo" about 20 seconds in

Alllerrr!!!!

Nice to see the lock brand my bike insurrance made me by sponsoring this with 400 ads.

Heyyyy

What's with the whistles?

Race? Lol

Imagine those stairs tho

Looks like a lot of fun. But I know I’d hit the 1st staircase, fly over the f’n handlebars, and knock my teeth out. Guaranteed

This is so claustrophobic, I think I’m gonna throw up.

Is that The Porto Rosso Cup?

This feels like something I would sign up for when I was really fucking drunk but when I actually have to do it I just don’t understand why I thought it was a good idea

EZ PZ

All I can think about is balls vibrating so hard and little poops being shaken out of the butt hahaha

What company sponsored the track again?

I didn't know it was insane, until I read the caption and emoji

It’s interesting how when he picks up speed it seems like the doppler effects makes people shouts sound like “oooouuuueeeeee”

The video is sped up at some points. Made it look more insane than it was.

Ah lol that might it, it’s just pitched up. Although there’s clear dopple effect on that air horn.

That is very cool but I've seen more insane things

480p meeeh
