Last weekend, 32 of the UK's top downhill mountain bike riders descended into Swansea city centre for the Red Bull Downforce 2011. After two heats in the qualifying round, eight riders went through to the final and Rowan Sorell was crowned the worthy champion of the day. 

Video footage is coming soon, until then take a look at some of the Red Bull Downforce 2011 action, as photographed by Rutger Pauw.

And they're off...

to take in the local architecture...

the cameraman takes a stumble, equipment is unharmed...

the riders show off...

mattresses provided for those in need of a snooze...

all force down the stairs...

others follow suit...

once the fish eye lense comes out, a full crowd appears to cheer on...

someone needs a wash...

another needs a drink....

and all together they await the results.
