Now that is some inspired riding! Was that part of a competition? I loved how the rider's head stayed rock steady on the path in front of him/her.

I think it's been going on for a few years. in one video a dog runs out and chases the rider during a set of stairs.

Somewhere in Chile, according to this site...

The mountain bike urban downhill course at the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo in Chile is absolutely insane! Colombian Marcelo Gutierrez took first place with this run that really showcases what urban downhill is all about. Just as a warning, this might get you really exciting for biking. We hope it snows a bunch more, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t getting excited about biking, too.

It's amazing what a properly set up bicycle can do with a skilled rider.

found via "chile video" in forum search is about the same event, (of course, the 2011 version).
