World Championships 2007
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
I was there and heard absolutely ZERO booing or jeering.
There was however, a ridiculous amount of cheering, whistling, barrier banging, bell ringing and foot stomping!
It was amazing - the crowd got behind ever rider!(although some more than others - naturally)
Oh and well done Ruaridh Cunningham!

wow, incredible shot.
Yeah, but what about clapping, applause, stroking, nose twitching, screaming and hurrahs?
There was a group at the edge of the finish area, just in front of the grandstand that were booing when Hills name was called out as the 2007 Champion. It was really strange, everyone round about were like "are they booing Sam, WTF". The group looked liked chav scum though...
Quick shout out to Ruaridh Cunningham, nice one boy!
Ken
Good to hear! It's sad how a couple of fools can leave a bad impression when thousands of others are having a great time!
So stoked on that. The USA isn't all washed up after all...
JD killed it, especially considering he lives in SoCal and never rides mud. Well done!
Should I even ask what chav scum is?
Aside from that group (who didnt even fit in so fvck knows what they were doing there), the crowd was fantastic. There was so much noise coming from all over the hill for all the riders, it was just magic! The noise at the Grandstand could be heard towards the upper sections of the track!
Ahh...chav
Nathan Rankin, I wanna see pics of this but it's kinda sad, its his last year racing and he could have pulled a big result there, bummer he crashed out.
I thought Cedric's hand was in a cast...?Ahh...chav
Is it because he is French?
aaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee
aaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee
No booing from where I was standing, I would say the crowd are pretty much pro-Hill and Barel.
I thought Cedric's hand was in a cast...?
I've got much RESPEK for Cedric, and lezzers too.
Telling stuff!! Some big names in that lot.
The crowd were pro-every racer there! Every rider got a massive cheer as they passed the crowds.
watch Barel's run on Freecaster.tv - you can kindda hear some booing at the end.
What did Barel ever do to anybody? He won 2 golds fare&square, and was 2nd yesterday with a broken foot. The guy is a hero!
Got me.
Wow! I don't remember being there....
So Luke slid out and still got 20th? I said he could do top twenty, huge props for that. Did anyone actually put money on that Duncan Vs Luke thread... hehehe.
Bad ass of the decade goes out to Greg Minnaar....
Greg broke his shoulder in the race run crash and rode the remaining 2m40 of the race with a broken and dislocated shoulder, after his crash...only 7 seconds down.
That guy is a messiah.

He's been yapping about that dislocated shoulder for 3 years now......
He was in real pain at the finish, as soon as he got down the shirt was off and several team guys were round him attending to him, it was not a pretty sight seeing somebody in pain like that.
Last seen with his arm in a sling trying (and failing) to get into the only pub in town open after 1am like the rest of us!
Must have been over by where they were picking the sound up from cause where I was (right trackside) he got a great reception, not surprising given his awesome ride.watch Barel's run on Freecaster.tv - you can kindda hear some booing at the end.
As for what he has ever done.......my only guess is that to some close minded individuals being French is enough. The Scots and the French get on well but you always seem to get bull**** rivalry between the frogs and the English.
And you have been yapping for far too long with your worthless opinion.
"hi I'm pot, you're one black kettle"....
Stik, are you a Sam fan now???
I'm pissed that my NZ country men didn't do so well...
