 wtf! what about peaty why did he fail at this?
  • 7 0
 omfg im fuckin hyped right now that sam hill took the overall and won schladmig. 4 out of 5 years isnt half bad at all. gwin got 3rd, 4th and 5th this year! great 1st full WC year bromo. luke is up on that top 10!
  • 12 0
 hendu...peaty didnt fail at this, he didnt seem to push too hard, whats the point? hes won many world cup races, what he wanted so badly was the world champs, and he got them, so hes had a good year, no pressure on him today, go blenkinsop, shame about fairclough though Frown

 YEAAAAAH Sam!!!! Big Grin

Blenkinsop second... Wow! I think that he like this track! Wink
  • 2 0
 Schladming never has been Peaty's course. I really didn't expect Hill to take it though. I thought it would be blenky or fairclough.

 Wow. Great way to end an incredible season! Yeti with 3 in the top-6 and Santa Cruz with 3 in the top-8 = very impressive. Better yet, two Yanks in the top-10...way to go Gwin and Strobel!!! 2010 season is going to be wide-open and I can't wait to see how it all goes down.

 Haha, that should teach those kids who screamed "Specialized has screwed Sam Hills career!".
  • 1 1
 haha i remember that bs. Speicialized is better then iron horse anyway. and they look better too.Ya Hill!
  • 2 0
 theoretically speaking the Sams IH bike was superior to his current Specialized in terms of suspension. but he is backed by a better company now and could destroy most of the kids on here on a Wal-Mart bike.
  • 1 2
 odin333 you are a kid, not an engineer so don't even make those useless comments without thinking twice. 15 years and don't know sh*t.
  • 2 0
 you honestly think that Horst is superior to DW-link? i probably know alot more then you do, age has nothing to do with intelligence. Sam has nearly the same geometry on his specialized as his IH. here is the catch, his iron horse was lighter, and had a better suspension system. so your saying that a heavier, less technologically advanced bike is better then one that is lighter and has one of the best suspension platform available?
  • 1 1
 Yes, I'm sure you know more than me, even though you're still at high school while I'm studying Civil Engineering with vehicular and aeronautical enginnering. Little kid, you need to learn that you have to use arguments in order to win a discussion. Please show me a CAD/MATLAB simulation that shows that the DW link is superior to FSR. Please do.
Besides, you don't know sh*t, I'm 100% sure you haven't read linear algebra, vector geometry or anything that has to do with suspension design.
  • 1 0
 "jinx"im pretty sure the lad has not read anything math related but i also think that the dw link is slightly better than the horst.
thats what ive read.

  • 2 1
 cuz hes canadian....and pinkbike.com is cdn...
  • 1 0
 yeah, Steve Smith is one of the few Canadians who are in the World Circuit and get mentioned frequently. seeing as largely Canadian Users and Canadian run it makes sense for us to cheer for him.
