Full Highlights Video - EWS Aspen 2017

Jul 31, 2017 at 14:26
by UCI Mountain Bike World Series  


Finally, the EWS got a break from the rain and the racers were able to get a dry weekend's racing in. Turning the entire internet on its head, Sam Hill was able to dominate in the high altitude, lung draining Colorado round and not even clip himself in to the bike. Cecile Ravanel kept it business as usual and took the top spot in the Womens' race.

 Sam Hill, showing everyone flat pedals win medals. The inside line to slap and that off camber drift were things of beauty. Awesome video as usual.

 The difference in time through that drifty corner between Hill and Graves was incredible; I didn't think it would be so clearly visible!

 Before I watch this, these highlights videos need more structure that follows the story of the race and more professional production, put that into 30 mins WRC style and boom you got a highlights show we can all be proud of.

 And possibly syndicated to interested tv and iptv channels the world over.

 I'm a slopestyle fan from back When Paul Basagoitia was winning Crankworx, but I have to confess; I watched this highlights video of fellow a Aussie winning an EWS first. Okay off to get my mind bamboozled by Semenuk now!

EDIT: I'm back, that was f*cked. I know the EWS riders are next level fast, but at least I can visualise myself riding the trails their racing on. With Semeunuk, it's just too damn dialed!

Thanks for the kind words! I live here for the skiing, but I stick around every year for the biking.

 Watching Sam Hill ride always makes me grin. All of these guys (and women) are so insanely talented. I love this sport.

Also, P.S. shhhhhhhhhhh about flat pedals all ready.

 Looks like most of those trails are not on the Aspen/Snowmass bike park map. Are the open to the public? Where do you find more info on them?
  • 1 0
 Lots of fresh cut trails made for the race and only for the race. They're off limits most of the time.
