Danny Hart has such a good style when riding, I mean seriously this guy loves the air and Gwin, he's a good rider but he never seems to be stoked on winning a race.


Also, it's not the breed of dog, it's the owner numbnuts.

I thought it was pitbulls they had problems with in the UK?

It's illogical, but it almost seems like people treat their dogs differently in the UK because loads of people have rottweillers (sp?) and pitbulls here but you never hear of them mauling people like you do in the UK...

it was and they were banned,i don't blame the dog but more the owner,buying a dog then planning a family is nuts.

The one he's riding at the Australian Nationals is alu, not carbon.

On the whole Danny Hart thing: He's definitely a good rider but he is a bit over rated.

He has only won one race and the margin by which he won is is not outstanding when you consider the other winning margins that have been put down on Champrey are all fairly similar.

Sorry, had to stop taking you seriously when you said an 11 second margin at a world cup isn't outstanding. That's insane.

Gwin just gives the impression that its (a win) just a statistic and is looking at the bigger picture of most race wins ever or most world cups etc...

With Danny you get the feeling he just enjoys riding tbh. Much like CG,

CG is such a frigging badass. Whenever you watch him he's doing something crazy.

Subbing to this thread for the lul'z...

To pull out a win that big on one of the steepest (and muddiest) tracks around.
Hell, the guy is the same age as me, and to win on that track, you can't help but think that people are going to talk about it... A lot.

By all means it was an amazing run but relative to other winning margins on the track in the same conditions it's not outstanding. Also consider that riders were saying that conditions for the races before the senior men's race were far worse

Senior men's gap to second: +11.699 (Danny Hart)

Junior men's gap to second: +12.188

Senior women's gap to second: +15.291

Junior women's gap to second: +14.457

Sam Hill's Qualifier in 2007 gap to second: +14 or so seconds

My bold. Those are the finish times. He was THE fastest rider on the track. As well as putting 11 seconds between him and second place.

I love how this thread went from Danny hart to dogs with one comment.!


But you cant say Danny Hart is overrated at all.
Does anyone remember the americans couldnt stop saying "Gwinning", pffft and you think Hart is overrated ..Not one person made a thread about Gwin being overrated.

I feel alot of jealousy or hate came into the making of this post.

Danny hart prevailed on the toughest track in the think mud of champery by 11 seconds.Its not that he won that made it interesting its the way he did it.He won by 11 seconds.Got low as f*ck in the corners and threw a huge whip at the end,That is why his run is talked about so much.Because it was EPIC!

No one made a thread about Gwin being overrated because he won the most races in a season of all time...

NEVER CONFORM. haha jk but idk it's clear everyone has their own opinion and I'm the minority. that's fine, I'm not denying Danny Hart is an excellent rider, I just don't think he's as good as everyone has made him out to be.
