bikounet (May 30, 2010 at 13:15)

why neg props??? It's a stupid crash... It wasn't the hardest part of the track!!! Wink

spoonyman (May 31, 2010 at 6:28)

@bikounet

Because that's how Sam Hill rides, he'll push it for the entire track (even the easy bits) and that's why he comes 5th even after a crash!

Remember the 2008 Worlds, he was 8 seconds (I think) up and he slid out on what was practically the last corner!? It's how he rolls! And at the end of the day, he probably enjoys riding on the edge much more than playing it safe!

bikounet (May 31, 2010 at 10:53)

I know, I think he's the best rider, he's my favorite rider and finishing 5th after a crash, it's amazing, like in 2008 and in Valnord...
But it's a stupid crash... neg props me if you want, but when friends told me "he crashed" I thougth it was a big crash in the rock garden or something like that... and there he just slipped... Do not say it's not a stupid crash, it is! Smile

And no, I'm not saying that I can ride as fast he's riding

stuhaight that didnt make him fall of though.

cikudh (Jun 11, 2010 at 19:52)

perhaps, tearing off ,, makes him a little mistake for rear braking .. (only hill know wut had happened tho)

tommyp (May 27, 2010 at 23:23)

what a cheat - he entered further down the course than where he left it, should be disqualified!

Goose76 (May 28, 2010 at 2:46)

Be careful who you call a cheat Tommyp, Peaty did the same thing at Ft Bill last year.

scott-w (May 29, 2010 at 8:58)

timlake - if that wasnt his race run why did he get up so quickly and hop back on the bike without checking it, getting his breath back etc?

+ 2

timlake (May 29, 2010 at 9:12)

I'm not talking about Hill. I'm talking about Peaty last year at Fort William. Hense me addressing Goose.

ben8633 (May 30, 2010 at 4:29)

timlake (May 31, 2010 at 10:27)

I must have seen another video then. The video I saw he did a similar thing but went under the tape, and didn't have the Leaders jersey on.
Variiis. I do make shit, you also make shit. It is a process our body does called digestion.

edd-stevens (May 31, 2010 at 11:27)

Variiis - He made a mistake, not shit.

hyperpower88 (May 29, 2010 at 16:47)

That's why he is the man to beat, 5th with a crash, he was definitely going for the win if he hadn't done this "amateur" mistake of pulling the tear-off to close to the corner. But i guess that's racing, anything can happen!!
