Coming after injury on a track like that 6th is great. As for Jared - he does both 4x and dh this year if I remember right. Pure dh is for 2012 so a lower place should be expected. It's hard to race both dh and 4x.
WC Round 1: Pietermaritzburg, SA

- Start date
Well unless it starts to rain every day at the same time like it did in Champery or some other venues but then you would see some of the top pros further away.

that hip gap thing where they filmed Riffle and Gracia is nuts. Looks like a flat landing after a huge gap....

Ow boy, Freecaster troubles even for 4x... I'm already thinking the worst for DH... 
I thought Gee said he hated the brace? Sam B. has his pedal form down!
Slavik out of 4x!!

this might seem like a dumb question, but what giant chain tool does Ricky Bobby have here?
Uhm...air pump for Vivid shock?
theres a chain tool next to the adjustable wrench if you look at the pic

I guess the pedaling section is as bad as it looks. I love Harts take on it. "get me on the next plane to Fort William."dirt tv vid of practice is up.

Matti's camera setup @ 2:40 sure is interesting.
Stoked on this. Good to see him doing well the last couple years.
They seem very similar to lezyne. At least design wise. I like it.
Also anyone notice that comment on vital - track gains 25feet in the middle section...
Bummer. Hope the best for him!
Has anybody heard what happened to Danny Hart? Hopefully just a bad hangover and he didn't want to pedal
Mechanical. He's all good.
Jess Stone took a digger in the vid, DNS as well. Any news? Collar bone/shoulder out maybe? Katy Curd with a DNS and Manon Carpenter waaay back

when did sam hill get a crazy hand tattoo?
It's a full sleeve. He has ink everywhere this year.when did sam hill get a crazy hand tattoo?
did he get the mike tyson-esque face tattoo as well?
In 2009 when Sam Hill wore Palmer's gold jacket, who would have thought he would go full on Palmer status...
