curlxupxandxdle (May 26, 2009 at 7:40)

it was a good video, but i hate how it was only the people racing in the pro class they should have had some amatuers in there

mattgray (May 26, 2009 at 14:53)

Steve Smith looks like Chester A. Arthur.

G-F-Mullet (May 26, 2009 at 8:00)

In response to all the guys poting here about sam's reactions to getting first place, I couldnt agree more with you all! It became really apparent to me in 3Focus just what a moody so and so he appears to be. I've never once saw him smile, doesnt show any enthusiasm at all. Whereas look at peaty or gee, those guys are great! (In terms of personality im talking about)

All are good riders, but i'd choose to support guys like Peaty or Gee than Sam happyness...

Great video by the way! Smile

Jmctaggart (May 26, 2009 at 8:27)

Great song. The course looked really dry even though it had poured in the ?morning?

deathsfallen (May 26, 2009 at 11:58)

afternoon, it pissed right in the middle of junior before the pro's went

Chips2990 (May 26, 2009 at 22:45)

parts of this video were filmed during pro practice earlier in the day before the race. and in some sections it looks dry during the race run because Diablo dries out really quick for some reason

konascrapla (May 26, 2009 at 9:09)

looked sick,everone riding so well then.fair shout to sam for a win on the new bike.

bizutch (May 26, 2009 at 11:48)

Wow. Glad I'm not the only one who had a really well put together video ruined by a 10 second ungrateful moment. At least act stupid and giddy or something. $5k for 2:30 minutes.....good payday there. If I were 11th place, I'd wanna kick him.

Maybe he's a PETA member and killed a squirrel during his run???

[Reply]

deathsfallen (May 26, 2009 at 11:57)

RPereira (May 26, 2009 at 12:08)

MTBFAZE (May 26, 2009 at 15:19)

track looks to rocky for me but great vid, thumbs up

[Reply]

dmancan (May 26, 2009 at 15:30)

Was it Sam who said, "My run was pretty boring." Then he said something that sounds like 'It was a bit girly." (@ 175) I don't know if that's what he said, but the fact he's saying the winning run was boring says the course didn't offer many challenges.

Yeah, it looked technical but nothing I, a mere mortal, don't ride every weekend here in Squamish and Whistler.

Again, nice video but a slow, boring course.

davetrump (May 26, 2009 at 19:14)

that was brendan fairclough... its sad you only ride on the weekends

great vid

[Reply]

Chips2990 (May 26, 2009 at 22:39)

that course is actually really exciting. after all those rock gardens there are some super flowy sections where you have to carry speed that lead to the 45 foot Red Bull jump.

Chips2990 (May 26, 2009 at 22:48)

sweet up close shot of me blowing that whistle Smile

SevenTimesBob (May 26, 2009 at 23:43)

Sweet course, incomprehensible riding by all the PRO's. Totally amazed. My only issue includes people capturing media. Wish we had some more around. Take some flicks, many many vids... I hope more of everyone gets involved and hope I motivate newb's instead of angering others. Awesome sport, the more capturing the better. Keep it!
