I must be watching too much POV, because for an armchair DH, I am starting to really learn these tracks. I have never been to any of them, yet I find myself anticipating what's coming up. The pro's make this look so easy.
Heading up there tomorrow to watch the show. I was half watching the insane track and half trying to figure out where I wanna watch from for finals. Probably going to start at the top and work my way down from there as the race processes. Beyond pumped!!!!
First and second rock gardens in the lower half of the track are were people are the most rowdy and where the action is the most epic. I highly recommend you spend at least part of the race in there!
@joshua22: We are going to try and catch asome of the junior race (my friends I go with are lazy af in the mornings, so we’ll see) and all of the women’s race. Should have a good idea where we want to be as the men come down. But definitely wanna be at the bottom when the last rider crosses the line. We will also be carrying a cooler...
Beyond excited to see this. No idea how this race is gonna play out, so many riders in the mix on such an epic track.
It may just be me, but i think the camera tech is too good. I know its rough, i can see its rough, i can hear its rough but i still like to see how rough it is! It looks like drone footage flying down the course
No thanks. Its nice to see what they are riding instead of a shaky blur. Just fucking put on some metal and headbang till you have a headache if you still pine for the days of shitty unstabilized footage.
Pinned run, Gee and Claudio look way off line and pace by comparison. As much as Minnaar is my first choice for chamo, would be great to see Luca step up and shut up his critics, all year he has been improving and this might be the mental boost he needs to take the top step of the podium. Smooth Fast and young. Go Syndicate Boys, you to Loris, love you even if you're french.
Not me, I like Claudio and Gee but whenever they're talking I'm just wincing for them because you can tell they can barely breathe let alone give me a play by play of the track in ragged gasps while I'm sitting here eating a burrito or something

Trust me, If you would see me crawl down that course the camera action would make everyone seasick
Literally the worlds that came out of my mouth as he went through the rocks around 3:40. Super pumped!
