@krisstoff: looks hard for sure, he was struggling a bit through Tippie's interview and picks up his daughter like he's not feeling that wrist yet either, still in shock probably, heal fast Cam Zink
@krisstoff: Thanks. Man, I have seen some shit (EMT for the last 10 years) and watching that just made me cringe. Aggy has always been my favorite freerider and such a cool dude, I was pulling for him to win this one. Best of luck man!
I think he's really honest there. If you're riding these exposed lines, you can't be doing tricks that are at the very limit of your abilities. He goes at a level he's confident with which enables him to ride that clean. I recall Danny Macaskil also mentioned about that Cascadia edit (which also features some exposed lines) that he was riding at 80% of what he'd do on ground level. He couldn't afford to crash there whereas much of the stuff you see in his recent Wee Ride edit consequences are much lower. So that's where he could pull off some new stuff at the limit (100%) of what he could do.
agree. the pinkbike content (tippie, mcduff...) of the last couple crankworx for example was lightyears ahead of the bullshit they tried to sell in the broadcasts...
They all look similar, but they're actually all very different. The kona is single pivot, the rocky is a horst link, and the session uses the split link or whatever they call it.
Trek calls it their Active Braking Pivot thought it's functionally similar to what you'd find on a Devinci Wilson with the split pivot.
I'd be interested to see how these suspensions ramp up with such big hits. Seems like I did see quite a bit of Rock Shox suspension though. Wonder if they've offered more support to these guys.
He's actually really cool in person, last year i walked up to him after his run, gave him a high five, and chatted with him intern and the other cat for a bit. You can also watch his red bull series on youtube... He lives the life.
Such a mind-blowing event! The top 3 runs were so sick. Semunuk is such a gifted rider, so fun to watch. I will say, I really enjoyed Doerflng's line. That hairpin turn before the big drop-in at the top had me sweating.

Semenuk on winning the RZR, "well it won't go unused!"
