I have seen some pretty insane bike videos over the years, but this one might just take the cake. In many videos, if the rider crashes, the only two casualties are the bike and the rider. In this case, the downhill run is in a city with pedestrians within inches of the rider. The only thing blocking people from the "course" are thin strips of plastic tape blowing in the wind. If this rider goes down, he is not going down alone. The rider is Filip Polc.
Also, pay special attention at the 27 second mark . . . an unsuspecting dog almost ends the run early. It is worth it to watch the whole video because some of the obstacles are just insane.
If you have seen a video more insane than this one, we would love to know about it.
If you find a video more insane than that one you will have to post it pronto. My jaw is scraping the floor.

That is pretty wild. I'm surprised this was not only sanctioned, but supported by the city.

im from chile and always read bike hacks, i was on VCA 2011, and is insane, you can actually walk tru the race path betwen riders, every 50 meter there is a guy with a hornj an he played we he see the rider so you know wen you can cross the path, it's a very popular compettiontion in the world and great riders from all of the world come to VCA,inclusive when it doesn't have count like UCI points.
