Downhill in Chile
The downhill consist to ride a bicycle down a mountain in short period of time. This sport are too much hard to practice.
In Chile the downhill is very nice because there have a lot of sponsors, and there participate a lot of people that are trying to be the best rider in the country.
All the years in Chile, during the summer, in the region of Valparaiso, "Oxford" (bike companny) realize the race "Cerro Abajo" and a lot of people  join to this important event to the history of the downhill in chile.

The Valparaiso Cerro Abajo (Down Hill) in Chile is, without a doubt, the craziest race we've ever seen. The twisting downhill course launches bike riders through the old cobblestone streets of Valparaiso at breakneck speeds.
But they don't just ride down the streets. That would be too easy. No, they ride down the sidewalks next to those streets, down staircases, off balconies, up walls, wall rides and basically anywhere that is dangerous, challenging, or scary. Oh, and try not hit the occasional stray dog that wanders in front of your path.
