There's a long set of stairs on campus (outdoors) that goes to the sophomore dorms. It was cool a couple of years ago for the daredevil types to take their bikes down it.
Watching that just makes me cringe!

does it seem maybe a little ethically dubious or a trifle insensitive of red bull to do something like that in a "Brazillian slum" as the title of the video was written? Obviously I don't know the whole story at all, it just seemed a little... wrong somehow? Am I way off base here?

That is just not a very nice cycling path right there. You couldn't pay me to take a mountain bike through those narrow steps.

I'm not sure of the subtleties of language. If you look at any dictionary, "favela" ordinarily translates as "slum," but I don't know whether or not it has the same connotations. I agree the title was kind of unfortunate, but I don't know if Red Bull was responsible for the titling. Looks like "Bordom" is just some kind of catch-all site where people post stuff.

Wow, that's crazy! It's like something out of a video game!
