I'm not even quite sure what's going on here. There's been a couple teasers on this event, but it still feels like some sketchy faces-of-death edit Anthony Bourdain smuggled out of somewhere it wasn't supposed to leave.
Super steep (50 degree), wet, gnarly, line into a massive drop with no run-out. I never thought I'd say this, but the Brazilians still seem to put on safer urban downhill events, as evidenced by Kelly McGarry's epic bike-destroying crash that happened during the event.
