 Not just americans buddy...

 I love gwin! no homo.

 @kona-stinky-trek - He is not saying just Americans...he's speaking for himself, as an American, saying thanks for uniting people in our country to support an athlete on the world cup circuit. It's okay to have a little respectful national pride...It doesn't exclude everyone else from supporting him.

 Gwin's riding is on another whole level! Love watching him ride!

 its funny how he said that he was riding in auto-pilot all the time

 Gwin proving once again that he can ride on another whole level. I have to say though, I prefer to watch Sam ride, so loose, so much roost... long live flats!

 long live flats till they start losing by more than 8 seconds. for messing about, they're great, but I think a lot of the fastest riders in the past few years have been consistently proving that used properly, clips give you a lot more of an edge in the pedaling sections.

 That was kind of my point without stating the obvious. Since Sam Hill has been fighting injury, no one has matched the speed of the clipped in riders. Gee, Minaar, and Gwin have owned DH racing the last few years. Gwin never once looked out of shape in his run, Minaar has a similar style. I just loved watching Sam ride fast and loose again.

 Hey guys I know it has nothing to do with your comments but I know I won't get any answer if I post a message on the bottom... What kind of gear is Sam wearing? I've been looking for it on Troy Lee's website, on BTOsports, Google and all... I just can't find it!
And actually that's the first time Troy Lee doesn't make a bright and disgusting purple/yellow/green/pink/orange gear so... Is that gear a special edition? I hope not... That would suck, his gears are badass for once!
Thank you, and sorry again for this "Off-subject" (?) but I want to know!

 its a special edition, because they are going to action it off on ebay for breast cancer. but right now the highest bid right now is like 800

 No I know that, just take a look at the one in the vidéo... It's supposed to be a SE Pro "Bike" from 2012 but I only see it on a few websites ... They presented it a the Sea Otter and they were supposed to sell it... It apparently never happened!

 ya he does look a bit like him,beisde that great rider

 Hmm I hadn't seen it till you mentioned it. Vague resemblance. I'd imagine Josh Homme is a little slower on the bike tho!

 Haha. Been thinking the same thing.

 rolf ,funnyyyy

 heh heh heh...very good...

 c c c c c c c coooooocaineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 This dude is so fast that they got to put it in slow mo to see him pass, i'll sure be there. At mont st ste anne to see gwin win eventough i'm a canadian and vote for steeve smith gwin is so fast i dont think he use his brake much!

 haha

 See ya there

 Last man down the hill always blows everyone else out of the water though, gwin is no exception!

 this excitement was just like Danny hit 12sec away at last year world champ... mind blowing

 willsoffe-with respect, you are wrong. 11.699 seconds.

 I find winning by 7.8 seconds on a dry track more impressive than 12 on a wet track and the course in Champery is quite a deal longer. In the rain freak results occur a lot more often and the whole field is more spread out. Danny rode amazingly well that day but without rain he would never have won by that margin. On a dry track everyone is flat out and going as hard as they can, riding in the mud is different. Either way both are hugely impressive but i personally find Gwin's win to be the more so.

 Shut up samsemtex you are boring.

Gwins run was amazing no doubt about it! Why are we even talking about Danny Harts run here?

 Great comment there Hex. Really added a lot to the debate.

 samsemtex, how can you say that Danny's run was not as impressive as Gwin's.. Danny was 0.2 of a second back on his time in the dry. shut up.

 I'm calling BS on 101 beers. It's been many more than that.

 Track is probably too steep as they won't be able to look up high enough with a brace on ?

 I had high hopes for Sam Hill, he was loooose

 He crashed in utah hit his face knocked his teeth out. Now he's got some fakes.

 A small wheelie drop. A little more detail at the bottom of this:

 Anyone know what song it is for the santa cruz syndicate video?

 marketing at its best..

 If you look at pinkbike day four article, the last pic of gwin on his bike, clearly shows he's running a minion.

 Ruptured spleen believe, this is what I have read so I may be mistaken.

 Here's the update: Out for this season, "can't do any sports for 3 months" - I was right!
www.pinkbike.com/news/Troy-Brosnan-Update-in-this-Specialized-WC-Video.html
So sorry for Troy, this should have been an awesome season for him.

 Do you mean race run? I didn't think you were able to film/record on your race run?

 He's so fast that you've got to watch it in slow mo

 Danny Hart and Minnaar are going to be on form this weekend, as Danny won the BDS here 2 weeks ago, with a snapped rear mech, and Minnaar's sheer power is bound to bring back some time.

 I hpoe that Danny Hart prick crashes. Lots.

 Funny how he's not a prick though isn't it.

 Lies aren't usually funny...

 Have you ever met him?

 Have you? Nice predictions btw bill238..

 Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. Nice lad as it happens, welcomes any conversation..

 Describe yourself in 3 words: "WORLD CHAMP BIIIIAAATCH' He has a f*cking world champ sign on his house. Come on.

 Doesn't make him a prick.. He was 20 when he won the Champs, of course he's going to be happy...

 Happy and arrogant, different things.

 How can you possibly know if he's arrogant, if you've never met him..

 Take Kanye West for example... you wouldn't call him arrogant?

 Not particularly, he enjoys making music, and expresses his enjoyment. Neither of the two are cocky and big themselves up..

 lol. ok.

 When I met Danny, I asked if he was going to be using the whole of Hamsterley's 4x, he said "We are, but feel free to use it or ride with Me and Robin.." After his run, I went down and nearly wiped out his camera man..
