 Sickest vibes coming from YT atm. Loving those videos and seeing a different side to Gwin than previously. What a rad dude, stoked for Danny on his first win too ✊????

 Team videos posted, goes straight to the yt vid 1st based on prev bangers.

 I would love to watch Aaron's mechanic (John Hall I think,) build a bike, and see all of his little tricks.

 Seems like Luca Shaw to Syndicate is a pretty good bet. Warner seemed to let it slip during the race too.

 I hope that happens too, it would be pretty awesome to see that! The real question is, is how many times Greg changed shoes before his Spartan race...?

 What the hell has happened to the rats race runs, he's been so of the pace since he tore it up in 2014???
  • 8 0
 Wondering this myself. Is everyone else faster, or is he slower, or both?
  • 14 0
 I can't understand it either and he seems to be happy with it which is even more confusing
  • 21 20
 @mikeyspaff What's to be upset about? He completing race runs and getting good results. Is he winning? No, but he's riding better than 99.9999999% of the riding population and looking damn comfortable and stylish doing so as well.

 @only1mikey: on what planet is 16th and 7 seconds off the winner a good result for a World Cup champ in his mid 20's? And.. I said confused not upset.

 @mikeyspaff: A top 20 isn't a great result at world cup level. I guess you can't please everyone.

 @only1mikey: sorry bro you're right.

Somebody get Ratboy a medal he finished 16th ffs.

 Anyone know what the Syndicate is doing when they are measuring Rats elbow span against his handlebar width? Is there a rule of thumb for handlebar width based on elbow span?
  • 1 0
 @Aengis: My guess is that it makes sense to have a bar length close to where your elbows measure to help you keep square to your bar. Too short and your elbows drop down, too wide and you can get wrist pain and maybe less efficient muscle wise and harder to turn. Again, just my guess.

 He was on it in 2014 when he switched from 26 to 27.5, maybe now he should switch up to an XL frame like Minaar.
  • 1 0
 @BobbyEnglish: or just go back to 26"... I am quite shure some people already told him to try the XL frame and I bet he did. If it doesn't feel safe and fast for him then maybe his current frame is the better option.

But personally I think a lot of the other guys stepped it up a lot during the last two seasons (trying to beat Gwin).

 Angel needs to slow down a bit and go at a comfortable pace. I think he tries to keep up with gwin which causes him to crash and get injured pretty often. he needs to realize that he's not as fast and he shouldn't push as hard as he does to keep up with gwin....
  • 9 0
 I think that he is at a comfortable place. He is clearly talented and fast he just has to perfect his riding now. He couldn't help his crash at this race it was a moving rock, happens to a lot of us. Yes Gwin is faster but he is using Gwin and learning from him which will make him faster in time. I think once he gets some more WC races under his belt and gains more experience he has a ton of potential to become a crazy fast and consistent rider.

 The mondraker one was good but needed more epic. No music when hart comes through the finish. Roaring crowd only. Close crops of his face and lifting the bike like they did in the film. Then cue epic music. Then fin.

 On what planet is 16th and 7 seconds off the winner a good result for a former World Cup champ who is in his mid 20's??? And... I said confused not upset

 I know what you're saying..........but Mark Cavendish just made a turn around after not going well after two years after I wrote him off.
Could be worse could be Sam Hill.......far out he's nowhere. Sorry Sam time to start racing #Enduro
I hope Josh comes around (or starts to pedal)

 @Cashman39: would Sam Hill moving to enduro be such a bad thing? I think it could be pretty cool.

 I really wish that the massive 60' triple jump was left in for the race run...but would be an issue for many, as that would be a big sore spot for crash.
  • 2 0
 Yea but Most of the riders scrubd over the left Table. It was much safer. Think the uci didnt Want it like u Said. Was there Last year, its a scary Long Jump.
  • 1 0
 @weaknesseightyeight: Yea, 60' is a long way and making sure you maintain around 50km/h just to hopefully stick the landing.

 Checked out the two 1st vids and the last. Polygon's one is awesome. Guys who make videos, please insert more trackwalk episodes into the cuts, it's very interesting how the topriders use to pick their lines during that.

 OMG, it happened...im looking more forward to see the yt mob tales than the syndicate...its close but angel nails it for me

 YT Mob vids are positively boring by comparison those from The Syndicate.

 Is it just me or is the vibe in the CRC videos seeming to be getting more and more down in the mouth with each episode?

 Its not you, they could cheer it up a bit maybe

 I always have mixed emotions after watching CRC videos.

 I absolutely love Danny. I swear he just doesn't give a fuck about what anyone else thinks, lopsided sunnies in the interview post win. Classic. Hope to see more exciting runs like that from danny in the future.

 Its about time Trek got their team video out. Just wish Gee wouldn't be so shy of the cameras. I look forward to the YT Mob Tales the most.

 Shy isntt the word!

 Has anyone else noticed Ratboy running some different unbranded kneepads in practice and qualies? Look a lot like POC DH knee pads, or maybe some new fox product testing?
  • 1 0
 Yeah, think I remember seeing T-Mac rockin some at the les gets whip off as well
  • 2 0
 @samdaman1: your totally right, definitely some new DH pads coming from Fox. You can see the logo in this pic pretty well.

 Gwin seems like such a sensible and smart guy compared to Angel in these videos...and it is not just the language barrier...

 Gwin is clearly the mature mentor figure for Angel.
