Video: Downhill Urban Mountain Biking in Colombia

I always love a good mountain biking video, especially ones that show a rider zipping through some unbelievable setting. But I also have a soft spot for videos like this one, where some of the world's top riders take on an urban course lined with fans as they ride down stairs, across cobblestone streets, in and around buildings, and other unusual obstacles. In this case, we follow World Cup rider Marcelo Gutierrez as he bombs his way through the streets of his hometown of Manizales, Colombia. As you'll see, the ride is a wild one, even though it goes directly through the heart of the city.

Video: Meet the Summit Adventure Team

This video is an introduction to the Summit Adventure Team, a squad of adventure racers from Colombia who are preparing to compete in the Adventure Racing World Championships that will be held in Ecuador in November. The video is beautifully shot, and serves as a nice intro to the sport of AR as well. The landscapes that the team are racing through in this clip are simply spectacular, and will inspire you to run, ride, and paddle yourself. Truly an excellent AR video.
