Legend has it that Marcelo Gutierrez first rode a bike at the age of three and was taking part in BMX races by the age of six. Eight years later he had cast aside the humble BMX to immerse himself in the adrenaline-fuelled world of Downhill, making his first big impression at the 2007 UCI MTB World Championships taking 12th place in the Juniors.
Thanks to our friends at EpicTV you can watch Gutierrez bag a truly impressive win at the Columbia National Championships at Tocancipá.
