Man, Neko seems like one cool and down to earth dude (who can ride mud like a mofo!). Feel good video for sure.

What a super cool team! And its so refreshing to hear a team speak their minds about pietermaritzburg! I think the whole world is over that track.

Wow, got a little emotional on that one. Way to go Neko. Keep it up. You should live in NC permanently!

Hard to not be happy for Neko!

Shame to see Brosnan having a bit of an off time of things. I guess the shoulder injury and the other nasties that happened in his crash are still frustrating him

Quality video. Love the whip in to the whoops and the 1 foot on 1 foot off, will he/ won't he crash, barely in control descent down the mud slide

Brook McDonald's sideways entrance into the whoops at 4.13 is just banana's and...How can you not root for Neko. That kid is just awesome.

Pleased to see so much love in the comments. 3rd place with that crash is bananas. You don't need mud to do this again Neko. I know you know this, just hammering it home. Any condition, any day. Get some. Can't wait for the next one. And lay off Brook you guys. He's being honest and he will be in form again. George too. This program is so dialed...don't under estimate it.

Yeah Neko! So stoked for him. It seems like he is building speed and confidence at a steady and sustainable pace and he's still young. I see a very bright future for you! You are going to be a regular podium threat and the win will come.

Really pleased for Neko-great rider and deserves more podiums. A quick word about Brook Macdonald. I was disappointed to hear him say that he hopes the South Africa leg of the world cup isn't included next year. Cairns had a big pedal and he said nothing about that. Taking mountain biking to countries like SA is no bad thing and does good things for the sport. I appreciate that it's not the best downhill track out there but its the same for everyone. You're a supposed to be a professional-just get on with it.

There are so many better DH courses in the world. S.A. has had its time in the sun. What about South America? British Columbia? New Zealand? Its time to move on!

huwey (May 14, 2014 at 9:30)

Then let those countries raise the funds and make it happen. Then we can have more WC's which is what we all really want. But-getting rid of courses that already have the fan base and infrastructure? Doesn't make sense to me.

Many riders have spoken out about it and rightly so, if the guys racing don't want to race it then something has to be done.

Well, I understand that S.A. is not the best DH course existing but to say it in Neko's words: "It is hard but it is hard for everybody."

well brook hadnt been to cairns yet, when he said that no one knew what the course was like

BeardlessMarinRider (May 14, 2014 at 12:22)

I'd imagine Brook is being massively frustrated by not quite being over his injuries yet so I think it's fair to cut him some slack. Add on top of that it's a track that clearly plays mind games with him so he probably wasn't in the best frame of mind when confronted with a camera.

Neko is only one on the factory team that can ride the session the way it was designed. Brook to say the least has been a total flop I wish it wasn't true but it is.
