That manual at the end... The whole clip was a demonstration of pure control. I`d love to see an in the know video with Sam Hill. Sram, please give us an edit with the legend!
I will third the motion for an in the know with Sam. He has been a long time blackbox rider so it would only make sense. Sram if you're listening a Sam Hill edit would make up for all those shitty Elixir brakes you put out!
That is so fast. I wonder why we don't see more regular videos from the guys at the top of the dh wc, they really are the best riders in the world and often we don't get to see it except for rare moments like this. I can only think of , norco, spesh, saracen have good coverage, doing what is mostly just race reports, not also regular (?) riding. I think its only syndicate , team ur and lapierre doing it at the moment right?
Some guys are paid to produce content, some guys are paid to produce results. Top WC riders generally spend the bulk of their "free" time during the season training. I'm sure it's possible to make more vids with these guys, but during the season, it'd make sense to me that their sponsors generally want to keep them focused on racing, not filming.
That's fair enough I guess. In a lot of other top sports it might be the same I guess? Although when you are a champion a part of your job also becomes being a figurehead.
Wow, whipping those 2 50foot gaps, Connor is an animal. Im scared as shit to even try those 2 gaps. Also love the distance he carries on the High speed section of the #7. WOW !!!
Seeing him rip the trails I ride every weekend is awesome. You really have to know the trails to understand how freaking ridiculous his riding really is.
For those of you that thought I was claiming they sped the video up, ease up, perhaps you've missed the sarcasm. I thought Connors video was one of the better speed through terrain videos I've seen. He rode all of the terrain like a boss. His presence on the top step is bound to come.
...oh... and some skills
That berm -> jump -> berm was insane. (2:10)
Pd: That last shot! WTF!
I see a future #1 on his plate.
