Probably safer than any other pastime in Medellin.

 

[I like Skol]

But have you got the cojones for it?

Whilst perhaps not wholly sensible it does look bloody good fun !

It's said that everybody needs a hobby but I certainly don't have the nuts to do that! I can see why those that do have the necessary cojones get a kick out of it though and, let's face it, the featured participants have a pretty crap life over there so it's not surprising that they feel the need for an escape from the grim realities, even if it is something as risky as gravity biking.

You normally get off and push your MTB down anything slightly bumpy....

These guys seem to be doing it just to escape the crushing poverty for a moment of joy.
