5 Crazy Videos From the Mexican Street Race Going Viral Round the Globe

Rooftop gaps and dogs on course. The 2015 urban DH was insane...

The City Downhill Tour hit the small mining town of Taxco, Mexico once again for the final stop of 2015 – and as usual, it was absolute madness.

A course which involves nipping in and out of side streets, down frightening staircases, jumping from roof to roof and over big, bad drops is never going to be normal. As expected, the atmosphere was electric, the course was bonkers, dogs kept getting in the way, and the riding was huge.

Of course, you may well be accustomed to footage from the Taxco Urban downhill. It tends to spread far and wide. Remy Metailler hit over three million views with this in 2014…

The official highlights from the contest haven’t dropped quite yet, but the trailer is out, and there’s some awesome rider videos from the 2015 contest as well. Here are some of the best…
