How they roll in Prague

Here's some new footage from last week's Prazske Schody in Prague, a dicey urban mountain bike crit you just don't see the likes of here in the US.







I predict we'll see a few of these develop as outlaw races in great freeriding towns like San Francisco, Duluth, and Seattle.

I want to say the original organizers of cyclocross had this sort of urban race in mind, long before the bikes could take such a pounding -- thus necessitating all those nut busting dismounts and remounts. I always say: The only thing that's worse than running is running with a bike.
