 Such a shame about CG, he'd beast his way through the motorway section, unfortunately I'll just have to imagine him whipping and nacking instead!

 Yeah those are some serious pedals/pins for sure. I call em the "Freddy Krugger Specials" for the gouges they leave on your shins if you dont wear pads. Ouch!

 Fort William is very good but MSA is amazing. That Rock Garden section towards the end of MSA is totally insane and has taken out so many riders.

 Why sam hill is the last?
  • 1 0
 most riders don't take this session serious. He might of had a break in the middle...
  • 3 0
 Exactly! Why give away your game plan. Plus I figure he's a nice guy if he takes the time to autograph someones's frame during practice. Sam can you sign my demo's frame? LOL!

 By far my favorite track. Gwin won't crash this time.
  • 6 7
 He will! Evil
  • 3 4
 ha...I find it funny how people are propping the comment saying He will crash. Maybe cause it's getting boring seeing him win 90% of the time?
  • 3 0
 Stop it with those negative waves dude. I take it he doesn't like GWIN or the U S of A!
  • 1 1
 sorry man. I have a quick tongue. Gwin is the man. It's like he was built to downhill.

 Mega Track! Soon to be attacked with some absurd speed...
