Watch This Insane Motorcycle Race From Columbia And Then Tell Us (Truthfully) If You Actually Have The Guts To Ride In It

We in America love our “extreme sports” but we also love our lawyers and because of that “extreme sports” are not really that far out into the cultural cabbage anymore. In Columbia, their idea of an extreme sport is to race motorcycles through packed city streets and in front of their adoring fans. Thankfully someone got this on video and stuck it up on YouTube. The bikes aren’t exactly Moto GP machines but you’ll see them getting air, racing within inches of each other, and careening past LOTS of people who are crammed onto the narrow sidewalks of the old city they are racing through. You’ll also see some of the safety measures like the stacks of old tires piled up in front of the buildings that are acting as guard walls along the course.

When we were watching this one with our mouths open and kind of laughing about it, we were also thinking that we’d never climb atop one of the two wheeled terrors to actually compete in the contest. Why? The margin for error in this deal seems razor thin because outside of the buildings that will kill you, the multitude of spectators you’s mow down like bowling pins there’s the fact that on the course, we’d probably be run over by one of our fellow competitors. If these guys are crazy enough to ride in the race, they’d surely be crazy enough to drive over a racer who is in their way.

Racing has thousands of forms across the world, this is one of the nuttiest we’ve seen.

    I stopped paying attention to extreme sports when they gave Dan Cortez a tv show back in the 90’s.
