I know there are mountains in Chile, but I was not aware that they build their cities on them. I mean, on the whole mountain. The video after the jump is a helmet cam shot of some crazy idiot riding all the way down a frigging street. I mean – down the sidewalk, down steps, over jumps, whipping past the very confident crowd, this guy is ridiculous. And you will get why I call the crowd confident when you see how close the guy gets to them.
There is nothing like this in the U.S. I don’t even know if there is any town built like this in the US. I guess it would be like riding your bike down Mt. Rushmore, then going down all the steps of the Washington Monument, then down that street in San Francisco. Oh, and a dog would be there. See the dog? DON’T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DOG? Find out after the jump!
That rider is Crazy! Hauling ASS.
The street in SF is Lombard Street.
Aloha.
One of my favorite short stories is about a guy who’s having problems with people jumping off his skyscraper. He solves it by putting a diving board on the roof with a net under it. The little starting ramp at the top reminded me of the diving board, that extra two feet that’s just not needed except that man it’s a ramp to jump off of how cool.
