I hope I haven't been imagining this, but I recall seeing clips of a MTB downhill race through some old cobbled city streets (think southern Italy or Rio, rather than London). In one particular part, the route actually went through someone's house, leading through to a huge drop-off thumbup

Top Gear ripped the idea off when James May was testing a small city car.

The event looked amazing, and I'd like to get a DVD if its available, just need to find out what it's called.
Any ideas?

Redbull Downtown in Lisbon is the biggy but there have been a couple in this country over the last year or so. One in Bridgnorth, one in Cardiff and one in Edinburgh so far.
