Urban DH takes MTB from the mountains and brings it to the city streets. Limited practice time, mandatory obstacles, huge crowds, risks, rewards, and of course the after parties make for an unmissable event.

Very proud of my country! Nice video
Sebastián Rex que bello país tenemos compa (what a wonderful country we have man)
Healing vibes to Neil !
Thanks!
Track is quite narrow and all the surfaces are so unforgiving. Would be so scared to hit a wall =P
Truly crazy race.
It makes me extremely happy how much you enjoyed your adventure in Chile guys! I'm chilean and I miss it as hell!! hope you'll get better soon Neil!!!
Great stuff seeing Fischi mentioned, great guy 😁
Would be interesting to see the tech. Especially tire choice. Are there special tires for urban racing?
I would love to try Urban DH. Just dont think my balls are big enough yet :(
dood...
seriously
Looks like a fun track, I thought they'd be running semi slick tyres though like Road motorcycles?
Love me some premium Neil on a snowy Saturday in boston!
Another top vid!
Thanks! 🤟
Sick bro 🤙🤙
🤟
Nice #loveGMBN
❤️
Respect
👊🤟
lit video, keep ug the good work guys
Thanks! 👍
Nice
barbeque smoke always slows me down too
Love u guys
❤️
That neck scar at 3:07 is a bit spooky.
That was pretty sick and I wish I could do it but I would need a bike😃
If you didn’t get it I don’t have a mountain bike
Would you just use an enduro bike with 27s for these sorts of races? or DH? not really sure what the difference is.
Thinking of buying my first bike "Yeti SB6 EX"
Yes you can use it, a lot of racers in valparaiso used enduro bikes😉
awesome man thanks! :)
they should do in india,mizoram,aizawl
NEAL!!!!

Hey I have a question about manuals. I keep on looping out what do I do/What am I doing wrong
It's best to cover the back brake to help 😀, that and lots of practice!
Cool me and my friend love gmbn and i wanna work for them and do uban downhill
You should first learn how to spell.
All this road biking... i thought I was on gcn for a minute
How come they dont ride slick tyres. Surely on a flat road surface they would offer more grip?
Hi guys
Hi
How Neil is doing?
Its nothing new. I used to do it on the way home from school. Not quite as extreme though.
I do it on my way home from school, its great, but I am limited because my bike is 20 years old and has about 45mm of travel
Can i use car shampoo to wash my bike?
You can. But make sure it doesn't have wax in it
Thanks
@@aminrazawan482 why?
Bogdan Parubok you don’t want wax near your rotors or brake pads because wax. Otherwise car wash is badass for bikes because it doesn’t dull the finish like dish soap.
@@suspicioustumbleweed4760 Thanks for your explanation! I don't like typing for so long
Niels better!
So I wonder if the residents are cool with them shutting down half the city for this. All the spectators look pretty hype but k keep expecting some old man to be like “ git off mah lawn”
why do urban downhill racers use such agressive tyres? wouldn't something with more grip be better? at least in my head it makes sense haha

Nice video, but the mix is not that good. From a sound engineer perspective Id say bring down the music.
"What Is Urban Downhill?"....Completely pointless maybe ?? :D
