Friday Downhill Practice GoPro

Taxco is an old silver mining town that spills up and over a very steep mountainside. And they've decided to hold a bike race in town. Following the tight and twisty alleyways and down countless sets of stairs, there is a downhill track. The "non-traditional" terrain is what makes these urban races so unique.

A lift to the top of a downhill track is done with a shuttle vehicle that would scrape its chassis on every speed bump, so on more than a few occasions a few riders would have to hop out and help push. It's all in the spirit of competitive fun.

Take a lap down the 2015 Down Hill Taxco urban DH race track with Ray Syron, Cody Johnson, Alfonso Garcia, Bruce Klein and Jon Buckell onboard the 2015 Specialized S-Works Demo 650b . Filmed on GoPro Hero 4 Session.
