Gwinn was in the hot seat for a while

But Minnar smashed his time!!! It was a great race to watch!! I think Brendans run got me the most stoked though. Congrats GEE

The mini heli-cam is dope! No more expensive cable cams or rail systems! Just $50 worth of hardware at Radio Shack! Haha!

It was really a Mud Mad Max, yet the best showed their skills and ability to shred in extreme conditions. Without any doubt - a great show to watch!

Haha he's missing a rotor bolt.

dirtbiker100 FL (Jul 24, 2010 at 15:47)

Ah well spotted. its a good tactic. he's "missing" three. you can see another missing. Basically because he weighs nothing he doesn't need all the bolts in the rotors and so can save the weight instead. Even Peaty at canberra world champs only ran three bolts on the rear to save maximum weight.
But yeah don't do it yourself - its freaking stupid and you're not a WC rider with a mechanic checking your bike after every single run. They'd be able to swap rotors/wheels if the bolts start to fail.

jonjonj0nnyjon (Jul 24, 2010 at 18:58)

Make sense. I've run 4 bolts in the past. Lost one and the other stripped out when I tacoed the rotor lol.
