UCI World Championships Mont Saint Anne - More Vids!

Sep 8, 2010
by Tyler Maine  
World Championships wrapped up a few days ago, but the interviews and videos keep on coming. The Santa Cruz Syndicate put together one hell of a funny video on their take about the 800 Euro fee required to film at worlds, while Wyn Masters went around the pits to measure everyone's calves to see who really has the biggest legs in DH racing. Once the show was over Tippie was able to grab a quick interview with Gee Atherton, Rachel Atherton and Duncan Riffle. There's only one world champ and dozens of others that walk away empty handed. Here's some of their thoughts.

3 videos inside,

 I wish both riders and photo/videographers would boycott races with this kind of really stupid restrictions for media. Don't the organizers realize that good footage is beneficial for them too?

 Loved the syndicate video. Awesome message. I don't have tv, if the UCI turns into a big evil corporation trying to make big bucks I'm screwed for race coverage....

 i think its strange that the racers have relatively small legs compared to the non riders and that has been proved on here all the people who have said they have massive legs don't race. i think its because most peoples legs are mostly fat and the racers are like 100% muscles. Jared graves is known for being very powerfully off the line but has small legs. i have to ride 30mile to even get to my dh track but i ride there 3 times a week i also race mtb and bmx so have no fat. even with very defined muscles my legs are only 360mm

 Ever seen a hockey players legs? Think that's fat? No it's pure muscle... calves and quads the size of trucks. I don't think your logic quite gets through
  • 3 1
 ever seen lance armstrongs legs?

 hockey player for 1 are not riders so use different muscles and thh most hockey players are very big build so carry far more fat than most race riders, not that that is a bad thing in hockey. also lance Armstrongs legs >>>> mwburden.com/cycling/la-guns.jpg are very strong but not that big round his are only 412mm so 100% proves the point

 There are different types of muscle, slow-twitch and fast-twitch. Fast-twitch is big bulky explosive muscle that fatigues in mere seconds, slow-twitch forms slimmer muscle bellies and fires for long periods of time. Road riding for long distance may make your legs slimmer even though you are building muscle... The test was pretty arbitrary since Wyn didn't seem to pay attention to measuring the apex of the calf anyway... good for a laugh though. ps- I'm a girl, 360mm, werd.
