MTBO video
The video is from the World Mountain Bike Orienteering Champs sprint race (see Stodge-blog for more). I'm not sure if we could bet permission to host a mtb O' event in an urban environment in the U.S. I can think of places that would work. JCCC on a weekend is an example. The terrain is interesting enough. The campus is mostly empty. That said, I'd think organizing an event and getting permission might be a bit of a chore.
You wouldn't require permission for a race like that because it looks like public space that remains open for business as usual. The problem would be that police might try to enforce traffic laws on your competitors!
