This is why mountain biking is the best sport in the world. You'd never see something like this in F1 or MotoGP.

Warner's even rocking that bass pro hat, doesn't get much more unreal then that

LOL, no, but you should compare this to the IndyCars, not F1. F1 is a whole different dish

keeping it real, the heart of this sport. may it be so always

F1 and Moto GP are much more serious sports because they deal with hundreds of millions of dollars every season and the crashes are bad enough to kill quite often. Last year in moto GP for example, someone did die. Very different. If Gwin could possibly make over 100 million this year than it would be a different attitude.

Or alternate instructions: "Just eyeball it ya pansy".

Of course they have that in F1...but its not in the news because its between the riders, pitlane girls and groupies and its a bit xxxrated

lurchh (Sep 4, 2012 at 11:20)

Riders? I thought you were talking about f1?

ibeaver (Sep 4, 2012 at 13:19)

I have to agree with themountain..... you hear nothing about the f1 parties because if they did, too many peeps would be in jail, for long time. Just to point out, you see any big fake titties at a UCI downhill event?? NOOoooo. only R E A L :-) the way I like'em. and the Peeps. Was good party!

Check this film -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4UXfyxgZsk A great documentary about the life styles of F1 driver & GP Bike racer (now Moto GP) from the 70'ies. Gives a little perspective, looks like good times.

Absolutely amazing! Eyeballing the fork oil level. haha...

hughboss (Sep 5, 2012 at 13:50)

Looks like the photos of Rob Warner were left out due to censorship issues!! The internet just cant handle that kinda craziness! .... and that "local Schnapps" came straight from Duncan Riffle's bottle of Jim Beam!!

What does he win with the title? Any prizes or cash or just done for the title?

lurchh (Sep 4, 2012 at 11:21)

I remember one year the prize was a sweet rockshox knife

Icculus19425 (Sep 4, 2012 at 12:33)

Bragging Rights

brule (Sep 4, 2012 at 12:59)

That fancy outfit at the end is his winnings. Bragging rights and a fun trophy each year.

dogma13 (Sep 4, 2012 at 11:06)

life is just awesome in the gravity scene!

themountain (Sep 4, 2012 at 12:35)

I would like to eyeball Anneke !!

Lehel-NS (Sep 4, 2012 at 14:16)

Does anyone knows in what time he rebuilt the fork, and is it fully functional after the quick service?

bigburd (Sep 5, 2012 at 2:08)

Makes you wonder why they charge 150 quid for a service if they can get it done in such a short time , granted they wont do it that quick normally but still it's only a 15 min job...

juslucky23 (Sep 4, 2012 at 14:18)

pic # 6 . try to figure out what that guy in the lower left hand corner is doing and look at the other guy's face. lol

Jester1826 (Sep 4, 2012 at 11:13)

Awesome, one of the many reasons why I love mountain biking!!!

barbarosza (Sep 4, 2012 at 12:10)

xiphon (Sep 4, 2012 at 12:03)

Ha ha quality!

mcarswell (Sep 4, 2012 at 10:52)

I love it! Those lederhosen are clutch

mossa FL (Sep 4, 2012 at 10:54)

Looks EPIC!

henryzapata (Sep 4, 2012 at 11:14)

let´s do it!!

Below threshold threads are hidden

hypermoto (Sep 4, 2012 at 16:14)

I'd like to see it be about true precision tuning, not eyeball bullshit. They should bring a hand dyno and check the fork and all its functions. If your shit doesn't work your DQ'd, and I'd like there to be a judged "feel" aspect that rewards points for superior smoothness, ie the guy willing to put some Slick Honey on the seals gets bonus points. The current layout encourages quick and sloppy, not exactly the way it needs to be when WC races are won by tenths.

meagerdude FL (Sep 4, 2012 at 16:51)

Maybe you'd like to see them use a slide rule? This is about having a good time, not crunching numbers. Live a little. And trust me: the forks are fully functional. The officials know their shit--Cancellier is head of blackbox; Dawson runs N American race support. Are they race spec to the .0001 cc? Nah, But you could rally A-line and not have any issues. But that's beside the point:

alexlag (Sep 4, 2012 at 17:01)

Live a little, HA! You got that right, it's about having fun, no extra BS rules or "bonus points"!

cGonzalez (Sep 4, 2012 at 21:22)

typical american trying to take the fun out of everything

hypermoto (Sep 18, 2012 at 15:54)

Uh, I'm a tech and shop owner who has rebuilt hundreds of forks. Both my pro racers use Boxxers, I know a thing or two about working on them. Dumping oil in and 'eyeballing' it is not SOP. Sorry for taking pride in my craft.

cGonzalez (Sep 19, 2012 at 14:23)

your a bit late bud

hypermoto (Sep 21, 2012 at 17:54)

Yeah, that's because I'm busy making Boxxers run like butta
