One of the best things to happen in World Cup DH recently is allowing a few riders to wear a Gopro each race. It really gives such an amazing perspective as to how fast these guys ride. He was absolutely flying through the course! I love it! Great race Sam! Good luck at worlds.
The UCI bans use of cameras on race and qually runs, but can choose select riders to wear one each race. So basically they pick the guys they expect to podium each time.
Didnt won the overall but winning on what everybody says is the best and true dh track of the whole season is indeed something. Just solid riding...nevermind the sizes nor being clipped or not . congrats mr Hill.
The speed into the Shimano right hander (from open into forest - beginning of third split) is definitely much faster than the other helmet cam footage on PB. Oh, and the bottom section looks sped up
Let's see, "perhaps the best track of the year", and it's a NEW track. UCI, shouldn't it be a little tougher for a brand new track to come in and be better than all our other world cup tracks? Perhaps you should look into why a new track could beat out all the others? Maybe it shouldn't have been this easy?

It's not a new track. New to the works cup, sure, but that fiesnt mean much. There are hundreds of tracks around the world that would be race ready. It's just a matter of who puts in a bid.
Focus on the good things, like Hill shredding the field again!!
Insane run course looks so good. The entry speed at 2:45 on the gopro footage is just ridiculous, looked so steep and gnarly even on the coverage which never gives a true impression of what its actually like in real life.
After such a run, I understand why Sam Hill seemed to consider logical to climb directly on the hot seat...
Amazing performance, congratulations mate !

Great job Hill. Flat pedals win medals.
That's fast...
