nice to watch out for those
i could seethat being the reason, like, if your goin that fast and you hit a little rock like that at the angle he's at, it'll f*ck you up
that would be so f*cking annoying.......
hard to believe that a little rock like that
made such a brilliant mountain biker
like Sam hill fall off........
then again its the small things that catch you out......

Actualy, I speak french. I tried speaking french and making a thread on pinkbike for french people to talk to each other. What did I get?? People from the Us, portugal, UK, Canada, poland, etc.. who didnt speak french, insulting us for not speaking in english. I dont get people who insult us, at them go speak some other language that even less people can understand. I am sorry if I offended anyone, but this site is in english. If ou are a user here, its probably because you speak english. So why dont we just all use english as a language that we can all understand.
good i like your answer and i am sorry if i insult you but i didn't like this "I dont speak chinese, could you write in english please" because i thought so "Racist" and i am sorry if wasn't your intention ...

was that the bike he was riding,its funny you would think that he would be bale to hit a rock like that and be able to control his bike balance and speed etc. considering hes the worlds best downhiller,but if that was the cause tough tough luck.
serius that litle rock makes a lot of difference when you'r riding with a lot of speed, you'r front tire can drift and then you crash
i doubt it, look how many other rocks ther are and yet he was the only one to crash there, he was unlucky, just slid to much, u can try and blame it on what ever you want but the fact of the matter is, it was just bad luck
well... I do not think he fell because as you guys can se, he is at the end of the turn, he is putting all the pressure in the rer tire and he might be starting to pedal which will lift the front end and face it staight up....
e se for preciso tambem posso escrever em portugues caso alguem nao entenda bem o que tou a dizer... lol

That rock could have still easily done it, its happened to me before, your front end just shoots out cause the rock slides, idk why some of you people think this couldnt cause it...pretty much common sense

i believe someone could still bail from that lil' rock but i mean in this pic he isnt even inline with it. to be honest did he even go over this rick AT ALL!?
this is realy stupid, Hill crashed cause he couldent controle the bike at the speed he was going, simple. dont you think Gee had similar rocks to contend with on his race run? but did he crash, NO, because he was in controle and Hill wasnt, end of.
mate, Sam Hill lost it cause of how loose it was on the corner, i agree the rock didn't make him crash!!! But Sam had this race in the bag, till he lost grip!!! Sam Hill is a legend there is no need to knock him alright!!!
He's one of the greatest riders there is, and that was simply bad luck that he hit that stone.. Shit happens..
yea, ok, but it gets on ma nerves wen people say, "hill would have won, but he crashed", so he wouldent have won ,cause he couldnt stay on his bike, he went way bigger off the fly-off than any other rider, and he was having trouble on this bit all week, so if he had taken it stedyer in the last section, he wouldnt have crashed , but he wouldnt have won ether, at the end of the day a race winner is the person who rode the best on the day, in this case it wasnt Hill, it was Gee, and thats why hes wearing the rainbow jersy, and Hill isnt.
I agree that it's Hills fault he crashed but the splits were just incredible, so if he had taken it a little easier on the last section then he would still have beaten Gee...I'm not trying to take anything away from Gee's win but you have to respect Sam for the speed he hit all the rest of the track at.
I agree, it's racing and the winner is the one that stands on top of the podium in the end of the day. However I do not say that Hill was stupid to do go super fast till the end. He is just fighting till the very end, a real fighter... he is not my favourite rider but I really appreciate that he fights til the end, always...

theres a burm he didint even take, he was two wheel drifting WAY too fast and the front end washed out.. he went into that corner with WAY too much speed and he didint even ust the burm that was there, i doubt THAT rock made his fornt wheel slide out..
he crashed... like many other people do.. i think people should get over it, he'll just come back better and faster anyway
yea that rock would have done it at race speed, but let's not forget that he got up after he crashed and still placed 3rd, only 3.15 seconds behind Gee... he can rip so fast that to be in the same league as everyone else he has to crash along the way, you have to respect that.
and hes racing without protection..? and we dont get pod without a helmet.. yeah right.. that makes all the sense in the world.. 
this isnt where he crashed he crashed a bit further down if u watch the video u will see that and u will see that the banners behind him are all blue and red...his back wheel slipped first aswell
