Better Late than Never, here is the Recap with the best shots from the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo 2012 edition, with action footage, interviews and the final ceremony. As usual, this event is one of the most radical and exiting to enjoy live or thru a screen. Happy to have 4 Drift HD's on the top 5. For this edition all the riders were impressed on how much viewers was at the side of the track, and how they get crazy with any stunt they make on the jumps. Happy for Chile, this year the first place was for the chilean Mauricio Acuña, followed by Filip Polc, Cedric Gracia, Marcelo Gutierrez and Antonio Leiva, in that order.

When the unconventional concept of a full carbon downhill clincher was presented, the idea was met with incredulous comments of, “it will never happen.” But our thoughts were focused on achieving faster cornering speeds, direct lines, maximum durability, and responsive accelerations that were previously unachievable. We had to make it ENVE® worthy, and in 2011 when Steve Peat used the same set of race wheels all year, we figured the rims were ready. So here we are, after nearly two years on the world’s harshest courses under the world’s best riders, we are ready to offer this factory race technology to the world. ENVE is proud to release the world’s first all carbon downhill rim...
