    Ensenada urban downhill race??

    I emailed a friend some video of an insane urban downhill race in South America, and he sends me this:

    Ensenada Urbano

    Looks like there is a similar race in Ensenada this weekend. Anyone done it or planning on doing it?

    Sounds like a cartel trap to lure Americans over for ransom money.

    There is a good video up now. Looks fun: Ensenada Urbano

    That is pretty cool they allowed this right in the middle of own. Steep and twisty.

    Plus a touch of culture to boot.

    Anybody who says Ensenada is dangerous needs to get in touch with reality. You're more likely to get robbed/stabbed/killed in San Diego, than pretty much almost ANYWHERE in Baja California.

    Example: My truck broke down in San Felipe, all I had was people helping me. On my way back from the same trip, truck breaks down again off the 8 freeway in El Cajon and a tweeker pulls a knife on me. I pulled out a much larger knife, and I was clearly larger and stronger than the drug addict, so he backed off.

    I'm just sayin.... not much drama happens to gringos in Baja... but you could get killed for $5 in Skyline, Lincoln Park, Lakeside, etc etc
