Junior Downhill World Champs - South Africa
 |
 Pietermaritzburg ain't the type of track the young New Englander is used to, but today it didn't matter. It's not a cap it's a crown. |
 |
| The obliging, not so rude, Richey putting the power down up top, run of his days ahead. |
 |
| In junior women, Great Britain's finest young lady export, Tahnee Seagrave, did the tea-toters proud today storming to victory, with no challenge from Feniak to defend her title. |
 |
| Tahnee floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee. |
 |
| Seagrave bringing the baby blue Intense home for team GB. |
 |
| Flying the home flag, making mum proud etc. |
 |
| Atwil giving it full beans in the woods of the upper third. |
 |
| The juniors were clocking some intimidating speeds on the big jumps and shooting for the sky. Kiwi, Kammlein-Cutler, with his Jetstar Boeing impression. |

 |
| Juniors are naturally smaller than fully grown men, but you can tell that's big air all the while. |
 |
| Luca Shaw, surely the second fastest junior from American shores today. |

 |
| Brittan's Phil Atwill focused on the finish line for 11th. |
 |
| All the proof you need gingers have got souls... Switzerland charging into 4th place. |
 |
| Luca Shaw has had an impressive start to his first World Cup season. Here at his first World Champs, he continued to keep up the intensity; full on the gas to a sixth place finish. |
 |
| Crawling similar to an ant cos he's low to the earth... Slim Thug featuring Mike Jones. |
 |
| That precise moment of truth for these young whippersnappers. |
 |
| Une autre ramp bien sympatique... Vergier gunning to silver for Lappiere. |
 |
| Richie airborn for murican gold |
 |
| 4:06.640- Richie Rude crushed the track today, nearly 6 seconds up on Loris Vergier. |
 |
| Boy's club, with FR Loris Vergier 2nd and GB Mike Jones 3rd. |
 |
| The ever elusive smile from a man of few words. Riche Rude let his riding do the talking today, and walked away with the rainbow stripes. |
