^^^its not cool to be happy that anyone is broken

Rigodon777 with comments like that you best hope you haven't tempted the crashing curse on yourself!!!!! I believe that Sam was the man to beat a few years ago, even untouchable. He has started making the other riders think about getting faster and training harder. Then all the younger riders are also starting to grow and push the limits and making podiums - all in all it makes the world cup even better to watch. Why would you wish someone hurt who has done so much by just racing his bike.

It's just so amazing how fast, fast actually is. It sure makes you feel slow.

Yeah, more and more Kiwi's on the scene these days. Good work Islanders!

The Kiwi's are as close as Australia is going to get to some locals shredding by the looks of things! GO NZ!

When you see a full sus bike it looks like the backend doesnt absorb any impacts, only when it comes in contact with the ground after a jump or something, anyway...Nice new look your sporting thier greg...

I predict, Minnaar, Gee, Brendon, 1, 2, 3.

i think i agree, although i think Blenkinsop's going to do pretty good too, that kid is amazing, i means hes only 19/20 and has already won a world cup round in 2008, i think blenkinsop will get 4 and gwin will get 5

You just might be.

Broke my hand last summer, mid season of my "just being a rider". It was fairly devastating, and I don't have sponsors, a race season, or title to uphold. I had no pressure to ride a bike other than the fact than I wanted to. Sam being one of the fastest racers on the planet, must have huge obligations to fulfill for his sponsors, and is under a certain amount of pressure to perform to very high level.

I'm sure he's having a difficult enough time on his own without fanboys (or anti-fanboys) hating all over him.

How does he annoy you so? Does he call you up in the middle of the night? Send you obscene emails or something. He races. He's good at it. He wins. Annoying? Geez, get over it.

We all have our favorite riders, for whatever reasons - I can dig that. It's cool to see the field of competition level out a bit (I don't necessarily believe he - or anybody else is so heads or tail above the rest, but that's another story). But if you're so wrapped up in spectator-ship that you rejoice in the injury of a fellow rider.. then, well, I don't know what to say except that really sucks.

I was rooting for Gee, but I hope Sam heals up well and comes back and puts it to comp.

stop being douchepussies

rigodon777 (Jun 6, 2010 at 6:18)

Have you ever talked to him in real? He's a way too much in his bubble. Every other racer could easily start a conversation about the course or whatever. I don't have a favorite rider, because everyone has something to prove. But sam? I simply hate him.

chris-s1 (Jun 6, 2010 at 12:04)

so basically your saying, cos he isnt an overconfident bellend you hate him..

lescart (Jun 8, 2010 at 8:27)

Also, how can you hate someone you dont even know! Hes just a quite private person is all. Aimed at rigodon.
