A-Line. It’s the most famous mountain bike trail in the world. And each year during Crankworx, World Cup downhillers, Enduro World Series racers, freeriders and local legends entertain the crowds in the Air DH.

Massive whip, straight air or speed-seeking scrub: What do you do when the clock starts? If your name is Stevie or R-Dog, the choice has already been made — Stevie’s focus is the win and R-Dog will collect more style points. For most everyone else, though, the decision might not be so simple. But it’s all entertaining.

 Has Bubba Stewart ever spent much time on a dh bike? I suspect not, more likely to be on a more fitness orientated mtb I imagine. But I always wonder what would happen if you gave him a few weeks on a dh bike and see if he can master the scrub the way he pioneered it in mx. (Forgive me if someone was doing it before him) He properly lays the bike over at the lip, I've seen bars close to lips before I'm sure. Not taking anything away from this, maybe it's not feasible on this jump or someone would've done it possibly. Cool tune for a nice short simple edit. I don't need much more, I mean all the super edited edits are great but I can take great pleasure from watching different people hit the same feature over and over. Slipping in three riders busting out massive whips in the same airtime doesn't do it any harm either... Who else went yeeeeeeeeaaahhhbooooooyyyy at that point?
