Sorting out the Urban Downhill Race in Valparaiso, Chile

Due to ACF's recent achievement, it would seem that the hive-mind of the forum has gone haywire. :D

I should have started this conversation in here a while ago, but that's easier said than done because...

We now have five different threads...about the exact same thing!

Oh yeah, this same race has been getting passed around various threads already.
But it seems to get better every time!

Road>General>Crazy VCA Downhill Race


Cafe>General>The Youtube Thread


MTB>General>VCA 2010 Race Run

Mods, could we merge all the these threads (that I previously noted in post #3) into one? Maybe something along the lines of...
Urban Downhill Madness in Valparaiso, Chile

And we just added another one to the collection: :D

Cafe>General>Urban mountain bike race in Chile

Now, you know there's a problem when the system here doesn't even allow me to post the actually links...because there are too many!
(Trust me, even compiling this little post was a bit of work)

So, what can we do to consolidate all of these threads, and yet make it visible enough to stop the insanity! :p

This is an epic race, if ever there was one, and I'd like to keep developing the thread along the lines of what Krebs and I have already started. But only in one place, please.

It certainly would appear to belong in the MTB sub-forum, but that doesn't seem to generate nearly as much traffic as the others, so we very well might just end up in a Möbius Loop of Chilean downhill threads endlessly popping up.

So what say, all?
Where should it go?
What should it be called?

It certainly seems to strike a chord with everyone who views it.

Long live Valparaiso! :)

Never mind! :eek:

It seems that action has been taken.
I wasn't sure if my PM to the Mods had made any sense, that's why I started this thread. You may as well just obliterate the whole thing, unless there's something to be gained from the conversation.

Sorry. :)
