Love this raw footage ! And some of the bikes managed to be almost silent in sections where other bikes sounded like they were gonna snap.

Pretty sure Gwin's bike transforms into a hovercraft, based on the absence of any discernable noises from it.

Yeah, digging the raw video with no music. Rubber ripping on dirt and skipping across rocks is the best music!

sorry if im wrong but i believe gwin runs his fork really stiff and his tire psi higher so less noise.

simooo (May 30, 2015 at 7:58)

how would a stiffer fork and stiffer tyres make the frame vibrate less?

Smooth = silent (and fast)

rims arent hitting rocks...

simooo (May 30, 2015 at 12:47)

The noise of the other bikes is of the derailleur/chain rattling on the frame. NOT the rims hitting the rocks LOL

There's a person in there riding Aaron Gwin's same TLD kit. It had me confused for a minute like is that Gwin on a V10? No, it's just his twin!

So what is that Yeti at the :49 mark? Looks to be an SB6 but has a DH fork on it like the one that Richie was using post EWS Whistler last year.

brandaneisma (May 29, 2015 at 15:33)

Yeah I think that it is pretty common to throw a DH fork on a 6c.

mlr428 FL (May 29, 2015 at 16:37)

I don't think it's a sb6. Look at the shock mount on the inside of the downtube and the rear triangle. The shock mount is a different angle. It's def a different than the sb6. Looks way more similar to the old 303

brandaneisma (May 29, 2015 at 16:46)

It could be im not familiar with the old 303's

1 1

mlr428 FL (May 29, 2015 at 16:49)

I would say it's def not the old 303 that we've all seen. I thinks it's a prototype sb8c or what ever their next do bike will be called.

tjbiker38 (May 29, 2015 at 18:03)

no its a normal 303, even got the stock paint job.

It's different than the one that is on the yeti site.

mlr428 FL (May 30, 2015 at 7:45)

It looks like the carbon prototype that's been kicking around for a few years now.

jeffakalucas (May 31, 2015 at 5:37)

I believe that's Jason Memmelaar, I can't remember which frame it is, it's long and definitely has a DH fork on it though. He's been having some pretty good results so far this year!

Jeez. I totally missed the memo on all dh bikes having to have super noisy freehubs. Holy Crap they are loud. People saying here that some of the bikes were clacking and sh!t but you could still hear the hub above it all. Video is sweet though.

camera angle on the second video is on point. hate it when i have to stare at the top tub...

Why did Bryn just take off... you barely saw him in the vid... wasn't that kind of the point of the video??

AllMountin (May 30, 2015 at 3:23)

Gotta be hard to gauge speed with a slower(no offense) rider following. Loic did the same thing to Claudio. Really need the faster rider out back, but then you'd miss all them sneaky lines!
