 I’m always amazed at the chainless run, but I think this one is even more impressive to me. I remember watching and being stunned that Danny Hart got it close at the end…and then Gwin followed it up with this magic run.

 Awesome insight on the race with the goggle issue. Had no idea from the sidelines. Drove 7+ hrs to see this race and Gwin did not disappoint! Also, Kudos to John getting that bike dialed for the mayhem Gwin put on it to win that day.

 I used to hate Gwin, but ever since I started watching RuPaul I have come to appreciate Gwin.

 Do you even know why you hated Him, what did he do to you personally or someone? Perhaps his self discipline and openness about his relationship with God and or his ability to ride a bike better than you is your motive.?? Its one thing to dislike / can't stand someone or just disagree with; but to Hate someone you never met (Politician or Movie Star aside) is rather most damaging to yourself,than as much you wish it damages them. Just a thought, look in the mirror closely.

 @likeittacky: it was just a joke poking fun at the article that got a lot of backlash found here: m.pinkbike.com/news/opinion-aaron-gwin-and-vulnerability.html

I have no problems with Gwin. Seems like a great guy.

 Incredible run. I love these videos and having a little backstory. The thing with the goggles makes it even more incredible.

 What a badass. Opportunistic like a predator (In a good way). Cool to hear his insight and thought process. Also cool to see the respect for his fellow competitor.

 I never noticed the goggle pull. So crazy. For me this one was just as exciting as the chainless run.

 It was raining so hard that day that my shoes would fill up with water from the top. What a run!
