 I got the silent cheer on film. Awesome when Bobby finally blurted out "f*ggots!!" and then the crowd erupted. One of my favorite moments from the weekend...and there were many.

 Connor was one of the guys who while I was shooting, I would get distracted and botch my own shot by yelling something like "Holy shit that dude is moving" He is so incredibly fast and so composed. I want that dude to succeed!

 What's the story with this Bobby Stenson guy?
  • 1 0
 For your own safety the US government has banned discussion of Robert Stenson with any foreign nationals friendly or enemy... Trust me you aussies do not wanna get involved... He could do some serious damage...

 Sounds hectic. But we are Australian, can't be as bad as every second animal here wanting to kill you...

 Though Gwin came in 5th, it was a similar story last year, and he ended up taking 4/7 WC wins. Though Smith is my favourite rider, you can never count Gwin out.

 Girls only get half the money the male winners get? Kinda lame
  • 5 3
 Think of the field though.. i hate to say it but it's more difficult to win mens downhill
  • 3 1
 I agree DG. Yes the field is smaller, but one reason may be that women have never been treated equally when it comes to prize money, it's not like the top women are trying any less harder than the top guys is it? We need more women in the sport to push it further, the more women the better the competition and faster the ladies will go....but would you train your ass off for half of what the men get...are they doing half the training, or only racing half the same track?
  • 4 0
 That is probably a much better ratio than women versus male basketball players. However, inequality in pay is never cool. It is actually very sad at how little the prize money is for both the men and women participants in this sport. These athletes are top notch, very entertaining to watch and put themselves at risk in each race. It would be nice to see them compensated more inline with other sports. I don't know the amount these guys receive from from sponsors, but can only hope it is fair for the amount of exposure they bring to their brands.

 I was wondering the same thing about the prize money after watching the video, thats so messed up. Just because there is more competition on the mens side means theres less money for the women. Either be equal or don't have large cash prizes. Makes you wonder too if sponsors pay women rides less than men too...
  • 1 0
 It sucks but its a reality of the sport. Male riders bring in more sponsor and advertising money to the event, compete in a much larger field (that pays in much more through entry fees) and like it or not, get paid out more. its like that in any sport

 There are probably a quarter the amount of women racing/ putting money in the pot and they get half of the spoils ...seems more than fair to me.
