Underground MTB racing... where would you ride?

maestro8 · 2006-11-06, 09:46 PM

I just saw a cool video of a Red Bull MTB "slalom" race through some subway tunnels in Mexico City. link

It made me think, if the world were our playground, where would we ride? Sports stadiums? Shopping malls? Car dealerships? Imagine riding a trials course comprised of brand new cars

If nothing was off-limits, where would you ride?

Definitely contruction sites. Sencond would be have to be a car dealership. That sounds like alot of fun!

An underground mine would be fun just for the experience. The lighting, the terrain, the tunnel walls and ceiling. Twould be an experience.

malls would be cool for street and freestyle. for muni i think i'd just ride all the cool places we already ride.

i know this is really bad but at a place with a lot of monuments like gettysburg pennsylvania

Disneyland.

Or something like it, with so many different rides you can do trials on an aztec temple, muni in a forest, street through the mall section, cars and tons of other stuff. It would be amazing. =p

Hehe only in mexico...

where i live there are heaps of government buildings with awesome handrails. the problem is there are always security guards and cops standing around meaning i cant try any of them. it would be cool if i could so yeah i think that's where i would ride.

I've wanted to ride my bike down an up escallator for the longest time.

tobbogonist · 2006-11-07, 04:33 AM

Government buildings are great fun. i was riding around out the front of our local court, missusing their steps, and a policman came out and asked for a photo.

we are very minimum security.
as for escallators(sp?) we just had one installed in the plaza where i work, i rode down it a few times and tried to idil on a step all the way back up it. i am now kicked out of the plaza and have to 'syphon filter' into work every weekend
