2016 British National DH Championships - Video

 He never has stopped practicing and training to stay elite level fit. At that level of training the speed wont stop till he decides the work isn't worth it to him anymore. With peaty that wont likely happen soon. He likes to race and win.

 LEGEND.. nufsaid..

 holly f+ck, what track

 ^ yup.. makes our national champs or any race in the u.s. appear to be a bit of a joke.....such a stacked field and pretty awesome looking track...makes me miss the glory days of norba circa early 2000s...

 @wydopen: now, now, us has got some good tracks. And the gravity raceing scene is improving. luca shaw is becoming a podium guy at WC.. Plus we got the guy whos won over 50 percent of the WC races in the last 5 years.

 @wydopen: the norba circuit was almost as big as the wc back in the day. Dh at Mammouth was huge!

 Girls too! They might look nice in these edits, but most of the year the weather is crappy and wet and many tracks are unrideable. In the Uk we are also lacking in actual mountains (except Scotland) Most tracks are short and sweet and like this one, haven't been around for very long. Having said that we are increasing the number of bike parks and tracks every year. That might now slow down as these were mostly partly funded by the EU.

 @djm35: trust me Im not complaining...I can do 3000ft of descending that drops me into my backyard in 70deg weather during the middle of winter 3miles from the beach...

 @wydopen: My thoughts exactly. Still, you in the US still have a lot of good riders - I'm from Germany. What do we have here? We have Fischbach, ok, he's no slouch, but he's no Gwin either. That goes for every German downhiller: way faster on a pushbike than I'd ever be on a dh rig, but so far of from what UK talent has to offer. I don't want to knock our riders, it's just those guys are on a different level altogether...

Racing Nationals in UK though, it's like going to a worldcup race only some guys overslept.

 Spot on, rat boy looked fast to, and Danny hart I'm the stumps was awesome. Great video

 I was gonna say it reminds me of the Sprung videos

 Been thinking the same, after his cup victory I thought he'd come back and be dominant. Still hoping!

 @cunning-linguist: injury can mess with your head no matter how long ago it happened.when he was winning he was balls out.loved it.

 Its the wc leaders fork colour. Gwin has one too. Most people liked the orange colour on an old Z1.

 But you noticed it, marketing done! Lol and yes orange Z1s, I'd have chopped a nut off for some back in the day! :-)

 I think it looks good with the trek blue - the old gulf colours. Clashes terribly with her shorts though.

 @AyJayDoubleyou: yeah Gulf racing colours could look good on a donkey! Good mix.

 You are right guys. From the marketing side it´s great, but it´s not my taste.

 I would as well. Seems that flat pedals and a pair of five ten Karvers have been his set up the last few races.

 Cheers!!
