Kenny Smith in Whistler

Martial arts have Chuck Norris. We have Kenny Smith, who takes the laws of gravity and consistently smashes them. See how the Cycles Devinci team member spars against Whistler, B.C.’s timber-laden singletrack - and makes it pay. Smith’s weapons of choice for steep terrain at fierce speeds: hair-metal tracks and the 27.5 Wilson.

 Dunno, Fearon edit kinda shut down everyone, it all looks slow to me now.
  • 11 11
 Spot on. Although I guess anyone trying to compete with a top 20 wc guy is probably always going to look slow... What id love to see is a comp where we got the top 20 videos of the year, and gave one to each top 15 male dh wc racer and one to each top 5 female dh wc racer and see how they compare. I reckon it would blow our mind. Also, Gee Atherton should go to fest.

 welllll, one of them is a world cup racer.

 Its not about how fast you go, its about how fast you go on gnarly terrain. So this guy nailed it. Fearon was on berms the whole time.
  • 11 1
 You make a good point. Guess its time for a Fearon video of him smashing some tech sections. This is a win win for everyone.

 Seriously, right? Look at the terrain people!!!! Kenny is pinning and airing it... to flat... on 6" tall roots. Totally diff vid, style, and skills involved here.

 @TopperharleyPT1 Yeah I was gonna post this video in here but I got lazy haha. I really think this video needs to be reposted now that he has claimed a little more attention after this years WC

 I can't really agree with the "Martial arts have Chuck Norris. We have Kenny Smith" Aggy? and of all Kenny Smith? I mean he shreds and all, but we're talking about baddesses here and no one gets as gnarly as Aggy, just my 2 cents still a rad video

 Yes Aggy is a badass, but you can't deny that kenny smith is one as well.

 Man, that last landing looked harsh. Just plowed through those roots.

 It's a pretty good advert for Easton wheels! A lot of wheels wouldn't have survived that!

 Shouldn't this be called Kenny Smith working with the laws of gravity? If he vs' gravity, he'll always lose.... and Kenny is not a loser...

 I tried a Nutella donut once. Didn't care for it.

 Cool story, could do with dragons

 No really, those Nutella donuts don't work.

 Yea, it makes me mad when i read, for example 'guy defies the laws of physics!' f*ck off morons, you do your stuff just because these laws really work. If they don't, no one knows what will happen. Your jumps or rides down a hill would be unpredictable.
Yes, science nazi.

 you need relaxing. I fight people in physics ok
  • 3 1
 Haven't tried the good ones then. There's some real shitty ones out there. Be careful brother - buy the enve donuts (approx $15).

 I fight you if you say nazi

 Every bike Kenny Smith rides looks the mutts nuts. lol. I've never seen him on a bike that didn't look as sik as it gets. Style 4 miles and the skillz 2 pay the billz. Lmfaoooo. Nice riding too, as ever.

 Savage-evil-demented bike riding. Kenny has the devil within him, and the devil is screaming in terror to get out now time to check out more Skull Fist tunes...

 Holy crap, nice. You notice that when he hits hard shit you can tell he has good upper body strength cause his head is not a bobble head like other riders

 Kenny is a beast!!! He can rip down anything. Good to see him riding a Wilson but now the Devinci line up has two Smith's which is kind of weird

 The music is ruining every amazing aspect of this video. If the sounds were the natural ones- wheels blasting over this rock gardens and roots- would be priceless. The rider has an amazing control.
