To select the Highlight of the Year and choose an eventual winner, we called upon Pinkbike's editors, photographers and video experts, as well as a short list of industry honchos that ranged from CEOs, to bike designers, marketeers, freeriders and even a multi-time DH World Champion. The clear winner was Aaron Gwin's chainless victory at Leogang - a race course that has been a love/hate relationship for the man whose never-say-never antics have elevated his racing to a form of entertainment. When asked in a recent interview, what inspired him to go full gas in the millisecond following his broken chain, Gwin admitted that he didn't know, saying that his mind was on the points race and his body just responded. Most of you have heard the story by now, so enjoy a replay of 2015's highlight moment.
new " Aaron Gwin can win a world cup without a chain but we cant (fill in the blank)
I ate those words rather fast.
What kind of mutant can make that happen? One pedal kick out of the gate and nothing but gravity and cast iron balls takes this thing to a victory. I want DNA testing, guy is a muatant/cyborg for sure.
