Video: Red Bull Hill Chasers 2012… take 2

Charge Bikes video captures the action and the atmosphere from a great night on Park Street

Charge bikes who put up the prizes at last weekend's Hill Chasers event in the centre of Bristol have produced a cool behind the scenes (and in front too) of all the action from Park St with contributions from amongst others Liquigas Cannondale pro Ted King who flew over from the US to take part.

King and the rest of the riders were lured to Park St by the opportunity to win a Gold Charge Plug with a rather natty silver Plug for second place… did we mention road.cc contributor John Whittington won that? Yea perhaps we did.

6000 people turned out on a cold night in February to watch 32 riders, including 16 local qualifiers, take on the hill… here's the action and the atmosphere from a great night in Bristol.
