Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 4:18PM 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.

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.
