The tight confines of the track were a battle for riders and media alike, but it was going to take a few more poisonous spiders and a bit of rain to deter the Parkin brothers from delivering their highlights of the days practice.
Totally! Was Gee a douche before GT contract or before? PS, that was the WORST song I have ever heard in a mountain bike "edit." Should have used Sail at least...
@dirtworks911 - sail wouldn't have worked not enough slow mo. I though the song went well with the video. I liked that it was made with instruments not computers
Soon they'll be better off riding down on a surfboard wearing a wetsuit.
Super fucking stoked though, this torrential rain just made Cairs one of the best DH Stages I have ever seen.
Yep totally agree, I normally don't like DH videos because to me they kinda more or less all look the same but this one is really nice!
Very impressive, skilled pilots, it is a real pleasure to see how they beautifully manage to avoid every obstacle at race pace! This is the shit, clean & proper MTBing there.
Finally a good slop fest of a race. its anyone's chance at a podium,, to many off camera sections and roots to say even Danny Heart has it locked down. seems everyone's putting the money on him but its bin a long time since that unbelievable run he had. I'm rooting for Gwin and Neko .. USA in kiwi land overall. And also was GEEEEEE actually smiling ? ! ..
My guess for the win, in these conditions, would be a certain brit chap ...
you know, the one who left every more than 10 seconds away in a certain swiss track...
...or maybe an aussie from near Perth, the one who doesn't like to race in the wet because his bike gets muddy..
You are forgetting that Blenki LOVES riding in the wet, quali'd first and has been at the sharp end of the pack last 1 or 2 seasons. Danny Hart and Hill not so much (though i do root for a Hill smackdown some time soon!)
Yeah but as he said to Rob, it's not like Champery at all!! there's not the same steepness as we can see in the alps, which make way more tough on the physical aspect... Where Danny made good improvements but where he is a level below some top guns
I've never muted anything so quickly, they'll be playing Hanson tracks next. And slowmo is shit, downhill is about speed, why are they throwing random slowmo in there?
I dont care what speed they are doing as long as it is gnarly and i know for a fact that those are extreme conditions that very few people could ride fast. This is much more interesting than if it was bone dry and fast.
Actually thinking this should be one of the most entertaining events of the season. Worlds best battling the elements on a gnarly track. F**k hardcore.
After googling many different lyric combinations i have figured out what the song it and who it's by.
