You guys think? Watching the live replay and these helmet cam shots, it looked pretty tame/short compared the insane courses like Valapraiso and Taxco. Polc is a madman for sending that last stair gap but it is strange he was the only one to send it... musta been quite the sketchy gap.
I think gajible has it right..... ( I don't know why Americans call their rugby rip off 'football' when there is only one guy on the field who kicks the ball!)
hahahaha that's what I always say!!! good one oldmanDan!!!
And btw... thebrokenprinter117, why compare "real football" with mtbike? what's the point?!?! Let's talk about bikes... that's why this website exists!!!!
Do you realize how stupid your comment makes you Americans look?
We call it football because you control the ball with........
You guessed it! The feet! In basketball, the ball goes in a basket, so there you go. in handball, you play with your hands. in dodgeball, you dodge the ball.
so if you call it football because you 'run' with it, shouldn't you have called it 'runball'?
OldmanDan seems a bit grumpy. It was a joke. Nobody really knows why we call it Football. Now, how about we discuss that mountain footwheel sport? The sport where your foot turns the wheel to go down the mountain!
I watched this and was massively surprised that he was the only one to fully gap that final drop to the stairs. I really thought with all these top guys we would have seen more do it. Man has some serious balls. awesome run.
Are they gonna have a round in Budapest? The track there is a lot more exciting than the one in Bratislava. Long track with steep stairs, turns, no need to build the jumps.
I've seen longer downhill runs in xc trails than that crumby race although the stair gap looked a bit sketchy. Nothing I wouldn't at least attempt though
