 Some riders will just need some time for recovery because this track is GNARLY, I wouldn't be so surprised to see a bad crash tomorrow, like cam cole in Andorra 2 years ago .... i don't wish it to happen, but who knows ..

 I love watching the Claudio clips and full runs... but I find I really can't get into it that much in the format that it's in. It's just not that exciting for me to see the same ~1:30 section of the track over and over. I wish they showed a riders full run.

 Mark Wallace’s rock garden nose wheelie...

 I liked that Dean Lucas one, it was a cool section of track & then he stands up on his front wheel like he's about to load up his race shorts & still held it together. All in super slow. Big Grin That shit lets you know you're alive.

 All those cow bells and blow horns would throw me into a whirlwind of fluster. End up like that last guy for sure. I never ride with music, wonder if any of the WC racers do to block it out...

 Fairclough's riding is out of this world..

 That little section of him riding at the start was so fkn good. It must be so much fun to ride like that.

 I'm definitely rooting for Brendog this year. Word has it he's actually trained in the off season this time around. I hope it pays off.

 Could he maybe even win this? How mental would that be!
  • 1 0
 I would love to see him win it but I don't think it will happen. Podium is a definite possibility though,

 Fairclough looks staggeringly fast, he´s just so effing stylish; powersliding through every corner, gapping everywhere, and when in the air, his bike is never straight! :-D

 A proper DH course, there's hope yet!
  • 4 3
 Pretty much all of the WC courses are "proper", I honestly don't get the circlejerk that nowadays the courses are too easy or not technical enough. I agree, the long pedalling section in PMB isn't very DH-ish, but other than that, I stand by my statement
  • 2 1
 as well you should

 Brendog.....you're looking fast and smooth man! Get it done! Having said that, there are so many riders to root for. Ratboy, Hart, CRC team, Blenki, Minnaar, Mullaly, Gwin.......its all up in the air. We live in an awesome time to be stoked on DH racing.

 Brendog easily looked fastest there, so smooth too! Danny Hart seems to look comfortable on his mondraker with a cheeky whip thown in!!

 That level of bike control ... They're not humans. They are coming from another planet, they have one weird finger, always on the brake levers and they obviously cannot bend that finger. I believe David Vincent must have seen them
