Marcelo Gutierrez flies through Downhill Urbano de Manizales

Colombian DH racer uses hometown advantage in winning run

Marcelo Gutierrez Manizales Urban DH

Urban downhill racing is not for the faint of heart. Watching Marcelo Gutierrez’s winning run from Downhill Urbano De Manizales shows just how much the legs and the lungs help out the heart.

Racing through the streets, staircases and rooftops of his hometown, Manizales, Colombia, Gutierrez spends as much time sprinting as he does sailing off the roofs on his way to another urban DH win. Having a massive crowd in his side surely helps, and South America’s most successful World Cup racer doesn’t disappoint.

So hold on, strap in, and watch as one of the world’s top downhill mountain bike racers flies through the streets of Colombia for his winning run.
