 Hope Taylor Vernon has a speedy recovery! Youngest and most stylish rider on the track.

 i dont see how the atherstons win so much with a bike as bad as the fury, my guess is they rig the start gate

 Healing vibes sent to Taylor Vernon. He has fractured two ribs and three vertebrae. Good luck with the surgery today and hope see him healed up and healthy soon
  • 9 1
 Maybe I just old but he is to young. That's two big crashes they should take him out of the worlds and these big events before he gets badly hurt. Or coach him the wind it in a bit the wins will come but not if he is in a wheel chair

 I think that the pressure of being on such a massively successful team as GT is getting to him and making him push juts a bit too hard.

 If you had the chance to push mtb at his age that far wouldn't you?

 He'll yeah it's just the old guy in me saying stop doing that dangerous sport

 ads72 -- you sound like my dad... "That's why you need to stop competing, you know. Racing is gonna kill you. Just find a husband, settle down and write." For some people, it's not about the risk of losing or even dying, but about the risk of winning, the risk of possibly accomplishing a dream, making something happen and changing the world. Smile Taylor Vernon is a talented guy who obviously knows the risks, especially after his nasty-looking Val di Sole wreck. At some point, we have to let people become adults and start making their own decisions instead of assuming they can't take care of themselves because of the number of years they've been alive (or their gender, etc.). He obviously loves it. So healing vibes his way and best of luck to the dude in the future! Smile

 00:56 ... That wiggle.
  • 3 4
 I "f*cking" want to marry Rach.
  • 2 3
 I love that because she's female, it's a wiggle. If she were a dude, it would be 'an IT band stretch', not a 'wiggle'. How about we just give it a break, eh? Just once...? Maybe....?

 id like to have seen Gee take part in the whip off contest. C'mon Gee get it sideways. Take your race head off for once
  • 3 1
 you must have seen that footage of Gee and the gang riding that giant dirt mine slopestyle course up near their hometown right? Heck, Gee rides the rampage as well! If there is one racer who does WAY more than just race the world cups, it is Gee.

 ...and while you're looking up his Rampage runs, take a look at some Atherton Project vids. He is always serious at official interviews and during race weeks because he is the consummate professional. Watch some of the more candid footage out there, and you will see that he would be a riot to hang out with.

 Brake was steaming at 2:40! wow.
When I ride, I feel really f-ing fast. Then I watch these guys (and hot girl Wink ) and realize I may as well be cruising my hard tail on the beach in comparison

 Cant stop watching it! Video is good, with bikes, speed, dirt and girls what else could you want? Smoke Coming out of the brakes?
This is what I feel like when I go down my local bike trail. of course these people go three times faster than I do :-D
