I think it's an extension of mountain biking in general - you see similar comradeship in the WCDH and EWS too. I find very few egos on the trail - I remember a complete random offer me some help with a puncture when I first got into the sport and I was amazed at the time but that's not an isolated thing. I was at a bike park a couple of weeks ago and everyone (and I mean everyone) either stopped to help a guy that had binned it badly in a jump or offered to help. No moaning etc. It's one of the best bits of our sport imo, and I do the best to continue the tradition!
I could watch this ish all day. Rogatkin and Rheeder are the odd couple. I love how arguably the 2 biggest stars on the FMB can do some goofy ish like this together.
Great vid!
Could they all have mikes? I feel like Tippie was loud. Not just normal-Tippie loud.
But still much respect for the athletes!
