The biggest spectacle in the Latin American based MTB scene
Video: Copa Contrapedal Valparaiso
The Freecaster.tv team is gearing up for the start of the 2008 European MTB season, but the heat has been pumping all winter long in the Southern hemisphere. So there's no reason to wait for the local action when Freecaster.tv has some major MTB video action, brought to you straight from the beautiful, and hot, coast of Chile.
Copa Oxford Contrapedal Valparaíso is said to be the biggest spectacle in the Latin American based MTB scene and judging by the crowds, the event was totally nuts. There was a healthy helping of local talent taking part in the race as well as international stars such as England's Brendan Fairclough, Canada's Mikayla Gatto and Djone Fornari from Brazil.

The downhill race took place on February 17th, at the height of summer. The course went through the old Valparaiso jail on a circuit of almost 2 kms in length with obstacles such as stairs, jumps, wall rides and steep grades.
