 He's no Claudio, but Finn has a way better sense than most people about what banter we want to hear in an entertaining preview. Not so much of the "Right turn, pant pant, Left turn, pant pant, another right hander, pant pant, some bumps, silence, etc"

 Non stop and a whole lot faster too. That had to have been sub 4:30.

 One run down that track would reduce the population of PB drastically, hold my keyboard.

 That open section, Jesus. I'm fairly certain that if he went any faster, he'd go back to the future.

 In fact 2 km faster and he would have gone back to the future...lol

 the track this year is very impressive. The trail guys & girls have given us one of the best Worlds tracks* for many a year. It's gonna be EPIC!

(*denotes a personal opinion) Salute

 Props to Finn for trying really hard with his hair game, but Minnaar is still king.

 If that question ever comes up again of whether dh is worthy of being an olympic discipline, this video definitely provide the answer to it! I doubt most of the PB community could demonstrate the combined level of fitness, skill and judgement that he did in this run. Amazing!

 Great preview! He has good commentary. He really reminds me of Tom holland. For those of you who don’t know... the most recent Spider-Man in the MCU.

 No, he’s more of a super athletic Justin Bieber.

 Excellent course preview Finn, i prefer that over Claudio's stuff any day.

 Is the “99” a Gretzky shout out?
  • 1 0
 I think it's a combo of that (he said he's a hockey fan on his bike-check) and that he was born in 1999. He was saying 99 is his favorite number.

 Awesome to hear his stoke on that crazy wide open straight,

 Suicide no-hander on the last jump. Thanks for the tip!
