Hey Schumacher let loose a few times! It's always funny to see people who you dont see drunk often in a state. The photo of him driving the forklift cracks me up.
So great to see cedric back on his bike after his accident more confident than ever, and the style and effort he puts into his runs makes him such an amazing rider to watch. what a legend can wait to see him shred in the next worldcup rounds!
Considering he was nearly dead and was in 1,000 pieces a year ago, it's awesome just to see him on the bike. Seeing him ripping at the level he's doing it at makes it that much more awesome.
Go, CG!!!
I like His sence of humour. The older He gets the more crazy He pretends to be. I sometimes think that He got inspired by the member of the A-team. Still when He hits the boxy building that just gets me laughing regardless how much I am fighting against.
I am pretty convinced that this is His way to face all the stuff audience doesn't know about professional biking, and to maintain His attitude to mtb being His age. Afterall He is the first professional rider that I can recall in my memories, so I am so glad He is still in the game.
4 weeks time and we will be in his back yard at Vallnord, Andorra, hope to have the pleasure of being run off the track by him or if not find him in his bar in the town!!!!!!!!!! Top man
went to fort bill this year,rode laggan forest on thursday, get back, jus chillin out the back of our challet skimming stones in the river... turn around an who jus happens to ride past..... \m/
Mtn. Biking needs more guys like CG and Kirt V... It used to be such a humorous sport full of freaks and weirdo's and great personalities (we don;t need another Palmer though... no more of that shit thank you.) who liked to ride fast and be out in the wods and the dirt... Glad more folks are enjoying this great sport, but were watering down the genepool a wee bit aye.
So refreshing, an edit to cut the palpable tension that is pinkbike - this just serves to remind us that mtb is ALL about fun, and we should stop bickering and go ride. Myself included.
The fact that CG didn't die in his accident last year and is still able to ride and have fun makes us happy! His ability to give us feedback and tuning for our suspension is invaluable and race results aren't important right now. He's on a long term program with DVO and we are so stoked to have him back! Long live CG!
Bravo to DVO for supporting such a legend! I am in awe of the man for riding with such confidence and grace AND having a blast only 1 year after he had a horrific crash. His energy is infectious!
... oh, and by the way, I'll probably be looking at DVO for my next suspension choice.
65th lace down the course 1st in style and charisma...
Stoked he's riding the DVO stuff. having that kind of a skilled rider evaluate your forks/shocks can only lead to good things in the future from DVO... So far what they've come out with is stunning and I hope they grow into a major player in the suspension world.
What I'm really hoping for is a 26 AND 650B compatible, 160mm, Air-sprung fork with a 20mm axle and at least 35mm stanchions. With Fox hyping their spindly 34, with it's XC axle and crap dampening, and having now made the 36 a no go for 650B, the AM market is begging for a REAL AM fork for us guys who aren't "size pinner". X-Fusions the only game in town for those spec's. Not a bad thing, but I'm betting DVO could set the industry standard with their eyes closed.
He actually overdoes it...a lot.
guys, watch this video about vale di sole. its worth it and gets you even more stoked for the weekend:
