Andrew Rumph has spent the past four summers working down in Portillo, Chile. He knows the place pretty well, so even during a bad snow year, he knows where to go. There are some pretty sweet lines in this short little edit. Paraíso from Andrew Rumph on Vimeo.
The mountain bike urban downhill course at the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo in Chile is absolutely insane! Colombian Marcelo Gutierrez took first place with this run that really showcases what urban downhill is all about. Just as a warning, this might get you really exciting for biking. We hope it snows a bunch more, but we’d […]

Xander Guldman had his season cut short due to a shoulder injury in February, but as this edit shows he was able to make the most of his season by still having as much fun as possible. We’ve shared some of his stuff before and you should watch out for this dude, he’s already filming with […]

The event, put on by Flow Farm Dirt Productions, brought a new level of intensity to the mind-blowing 5.8 mile downhill singletrack.
