World Cup #1 - South Africa
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
judging by the photos I have seen, looks like the photography aspect is going to be SICK! wicked trees, etc...
Yeti kit looks half decent, most of the others look pretth arse, especially Peat and Bryceland.
Is that Graves^ he looks herculian.
Awesomeness...
For sure, I always thought that the Yeti kits looked hella sharp. Makes for some sweet photos.

Looks like he's booking it through a turn and needed some extra body english to make that happen.
I think he's just scraping lion poo off the bottom of his shoe. Must have stepped in some on the walk through the bush to the DH start.

looks like shimano has already started proto's of the PRO dh bar...
or, "if you cant duck it, than f uck it"
it's the D3 (Dylan Dean Designs) painted helmet & NEMA gear that make it happen! hahah

Graves looks sick! that guy has got to be the most photogenic DH rider in terms of body position...he's always on point in every picture i've seen of him.....

Grubby's the man. Total 2 podium threat, kind of like Cedric was 6 or 7 years ago.

Oh god that looks fun!
Its awesome, really the most fun I've had on a bike in months.
Watching helmet cams is weird, they seem to go on for hours, yet you knew if you were riding it'd all be over in the blink of an eye!
Definitely not the steepest or most technical track in the world, but looks pretty flat out fast and plenty good fun!!

Yeah, where is this 800 meter flat-to-slightly-uphill section.....?........he didn't take more than 2-3 pedal strokes at a time.
take note of the time he runs of 4:23.... and compare that to the Kovariks winning time last week of 3:56.
there is 27 second difference (and yes I subtracted the first 13 seconds out of braytons time as he sits in the gate)
that's a whole lot of pedaling that needs to be done to be on that pace
they may be proto'ing something, but they have a whole bunch of MTB components and have for a bit....

That's a pretty fine qualifying session for the Brits
A bunch of guys were not pinned. Kovarik was among them. Mick was on the gas where i saw him, absolutely giving it.
Looks like Warner will have a row of Brits to heckle right off the start in Sunday's broadcast.That's a pretty fine qualifying session for the Brits
