willsoffe (May 24, 2009 at 12:06)

Yeah, it will. He was up at the split at Schladming last year.

willsoffe (May 24, 2009 at 14:53)

Well it might, they're both fast. Hill needs to not crash and Fairclough needs to work on his fitness.

This is on the front page everyone will see it anyway. Please stop getting lazy with VOD choice pinkbike.

karl-burkat (May 24, 2009 at 0:25)

Some people only check out POD/VOD, some people only read the news. This was the vod choice, but also added it to homepage for those that don't check the VOD daily.

mehow1993 (May 24, 2009 at 0:33)

more cowbell please

therevfryslim (May 24, 2009 at 3:24) (Below Threshold) show comment

why do people use cow bells and air horns and stuff? surely they just distract the riders?

papiLioon (May 24, 2009 at 8:34)

well why they are screaming??? this is not glof or tennis tournament..... they are just cheering for the riders and making good atmosphere! I cant see that those cow bells or air horns are distracting the riders. But that is just my opinion

therevfryslim (May 24, 2009 at 16:32)

i dunno, i associate air horns with riots raves and lorries, i dont see what one gains from blasting someone with a horn etc. cheering is different cos you can be inspiring and make you feel proud etc. see my point? idk maybe i'm weird.

kbrock (May 30, 2009 at 23:11)

Air Horns and Cow bells are a form of gesture that say "HEY, what have you got? COMMON AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT". They're for sport and fun.

therevfryslim (May 31, 2009 at 5:46)

right you are Smile

Bo44 (May 24, 2009 at 0:40)

LGuapoRidr (May 24, 2009 at 9:40)

What is with the cow bells and air horns? Ive heard it suppose to be some type of good luck thing? Or is it just meant to be annoying and distract the riders? Any one know the tradition behind it?

Btw - good vod - i'd love to try that course Smile

CaptainBLT (May 24, 2009 at 10:09)

Its just a way to cheer for the racers that they can actually hear while maching down the hill. It started with skiing, and has now moved to mountain biking.

I could be wrong though.
