A few weeks ago we posted a video of the 2010 VCA Urban Downhill. Here’s another look shot with a GoPro. The footage is intense, you do not want to fall on this course. Kudos to the chargers who are bombing it. Oh and look out for glass, rebar and stray dogs.

How gnarly is this Urban Downhill course from the 9th Annual Valparaiso DH? Wouldn’t want to bail on this track in the wrong place or you’ll be missing alot of skin. Congrats to Filip Polc of Slovakia for conquering the Urban DH course the fastest. Let your eyeballs enjoy the ride…

Do you know what many bike and moto heads have known for years? That’s right, slapping a Shark Watch on your handlebars is the best way to keep time during a ride, especially during a race or intense ride where know you’re never going to be in a resting position to check your wrist. The first time I saw this was on an old Honda Enduro in Mammoth about 8 years ago. It was cool to see our creative designer keep the trend going at a recent MTB race. He wrapped a Shark Clip around his Santa Cruz Superlight. Usually the Shark Clip band or velcro Shark Leash works best because they are easiest to snug onto the handlebars but any shark watch will do the trick. The best part is when you’re done with your ride, just steal your Shark Watch back and your bike doesn’t complain one bit.
