    Oh I looked up the event.
    In San Francisco it's done down the long very twisty almost vertical wavy street from the picture, but I don't know the name of the street. It's been in a number of movies. So you get lots of short momentum before needing to turn.

    That would be Lombard Street. Here's some info, and a satellite pic.
