Tomas SLAVIK won the men's and Helene FURWIRTH won the women's but this is so much more then just a race; even Redbull sent a couple of planes overhead to entertain the massive crowd.
That course was insane and enough carnage in the vid to support that claim! Best of both worlds for a 4X track, big fast smooth jumps straight into a woods section worthy of a DH bike (3rd place was on one!) and then right back to rollers.
Anyone know the condition of Hannes Slavik after his horrific slam (2:04)? Seriously THE worst 4X crash I have EVER seen in my life!! If he's ever able to walk again he should thank his lucky stars, it was that nasty. Joost Wichman was so concerned he stopped and made sure the marshals got to him ASAP. In my book if a fellow 4X racer stops because they're concerned it must be one hell of a crash!
That course looks amazing, I'd still roll most of those massive booters, but would be fun just to stand at the side of them and appreciate the balls it takes to go full bore over one, then smash into the dark tree section
More bike events need after parties like this rather than everyone in the car and heading home hehe
this looks so awesome in every way, mind blowing racing, on hardtails, massive party atmosphere, tonnes and tonnes of people - its like FEST and DH in one
