Ma che ...!" Cerro Abajo Urban Downhill Race comes to Genoa

The urban downhill racing series "Cerro Abajo" has so far mainly been held in Latin America. Now organizer Red Bull is announcing an edition in Genoa. From October 18 - 20, the Italian port city will be a downhill track. Tomáš Slavík takes the measure in the video and passes his first test of courage.

The name Cerro Abajo says it all: until now, the Urban Downhill Races from Red Bull have taken place in Spanish-speaking cities, all in Central and South America. But steep stairs and narrow streets are of course also found in Europe, and historic old towns even more so than in America. 

Whatever made the choice fall on Genoa, the promo video with multiple winner Tomáš Slavík shows that it was a good one. The old champion amazes the Genovesi on the balconies and comes to the stop himself. No wonder with full speed and what felt like five centimetres left and right of the handlebars to the next wall.
