5.10 / Danny Hart: Hart and soul Part 2

 i got goose bumps right now... so sick and what a wonderful story!

 That's my favorite part of the video, watching dad react to Danny's win. You can see the love and pride in his face.

 he started bad in southafrica because he ran like he always did At the very limit of falling. Sport is beautiful.

 i could never ever be as good a rider in my wildest dreams as Danny but i sure as hell hope I can be as great a dad for my kid like his dad is for him. the Harts are a mighty fine clan.

 ^amen to that.

 Am I the only one who's now crying?

 quite possibly yes haha

 Great story . With the all his new found confidence and success from '11 comes the accolades and the perks of winning . Unfortunately you only get to be " that unknown guy from no where" one time. The pressure he referred to as "not being there" in the 2011 season is NOW front and center for the 2012 season. He's a fun guy to root for, hopefully he can keep focused with all the added pressure that this type of attention and hype brings. Looks like he loves to ride super tight , technical courses and South Africa isn't that. I'm pulling for him to bounce back after the tough finish he had in Ptzrbrg, SA. Good LucK, Danny (pretty cool that his initials are DH)

 this guy knows the score ^^ south africa didnt suit him, that had nothing to do with crashing but he will make a return at italy

 Wouldn't mind to see danny have a bit of enthusiasm,it's kinda like he doesn't even realize he's one of the fastest guys on a mountain bike in the world.

 I think that's the best thing about him, he won the champs and he's not really that enthusiastic about it, he's not in it for the fame and glory, he's in it because he loves doing it, just like many of us, we will never be Danny, Peaty etc but we love doing whatever discipline it may be. Fantastic 2parter showing just how close the Hart family is and the support he gets, it's really heartwarming to see that. Hart 2012, hell yes

 He may not be in it for the fame, but he has a pretty sick Glory!

 i see what you did there...

 never ever past it...I'm 44, started at 38....ride on

 started at 35....mountain biking and more so DH is awesome.....who needs fast cars when you have fast bicycles....

 I hear ya .. I started at age 48, hadn't been on a bike in 33 years. That was 18 months ago, and I just picked up my first DH bike. LOVING IT!

 Glad to hear im not the only old balls that got into dh. Im 40 & just got my first dh rig. These kids are amazing. Im sure DH will do great this year & wish him all the luck.

 Your never past it, I'm 36, any day without a ride is a sad day... Mind you I'm more cautious now I have kids and a business to run!, but look at Steve Peat, he's 36 (?) and still keeping up with kids 15 years his junior! he's an inspiration to us oldies!

 HOLY SHIT!!! watching Danny's world champ run you still get chills downs your back. such a memorable moment

 I started at 15 and still racing at 50 after open heart surgery and enjoying every pedal stroke. Cheers

 Started racing BMX at age 5 and now at age 33 have watched and helped nurture the rise of our sport... I'll never get off my bike.

 And nige SCREAMING when Danny does that massive whip at the bottom, such a sick race.

 I couldn't disagree more cthorpe, the ride he put in at the worlds was at another level, it will go down in mtb history as one of the greatest ever, it reminded me of Sam Hill's run in Champery 2007, the commitment Danny put into that run was more than any of us meer mortals could dream of, I was lucky enough to be a part of Danny's early career and knew then that he was destined for amazing things, agreed different tracks suit different riders but other than Sam Hill I don't think there is a more technically gifted rider wet or dry in the world, his only drawback is his size for the pedally tracks but he'll make up for it in the rough.
His results at world level have been consistent and steadily climbing to the top step, how then can you think he is a one hit wonder?!
Yes you're entitled to you're opinion but in this case you're going to be proved wrong!

 it's alright to have an opinion cthorpe, it's even ok to have a completely deluded and shite opinion - just because he isn't American is all i am going to say to ya.

 i don't think he's been put on "god" status. he's just well liked and from what the edit shows, his family is very supportive and proud of him. who doesn't want to have that? It's a young man's game and if he can get all this attention at his age it's certainly well deserved and earned. more power to ya Danny!

 well I never said one hit wonder, and i never said anything about him not being American. I dont care where someone is from, I just dont Emulate and or praise people, especially people who are relatively new in the spotlight...This includes Gwin. Im just tired of people talking like hes the GOAT already. Its far too early for it. I also never denied that hes a great rider. I said I disagree with SOME of the praise he gets this early in his career.

@ jmbrit, your comment was based purely on where I live and not what I said. if i had a different little flag next to my name your comment would have been different. keep your ignorant stereotyping to yourself.

@1trick, if you know him personally then you actually have far more behind your opinion than most the people praising him like they do. In response, there have been several riders that have smashed their competitors in one race. I just think its too early to justify what some people say, as some take it too far. I also never said he wasn't a great rider.

 I'd wear them too if I got paid for doing so
