Dear YT and Gwin: Congrats to the WC title.
And what a run from Vergier.
Seeing the reactions of Brosnan and Vergier on the hotseat I'd say DH is in good hands.
Good lads all around.

Wasn't it Steve Smith who tossed a no-hander at World's in 2013 after a crash? Hannah paying tribute today?

in europe we have our own shitty music, no need to import anything from you guys ;)
Supposedly Jimmy Fallon just introduced the US to Scooter. Somehow we managed to keep that dirty secret hidden for two decades, although i still cling to the believe that their following must be predominantly ironic.

If you were at a concert of them you would know that these ravers are deadly serious when it comes to H.P. Baxxter and his squad.
Why do I know that? A drunk evening with a promise by myself followed by one hell of a strange date.:D

Another dream destroyed. I always imagined going to a Scooter show only to find the crowd entirely comprised of like-minded people who all asked themselves the same question: what kind of people would ever attend a Scooter show?

Since that question has been unsatisfactorily answered (drunk involuntary attendees + people who take a man that calls himself H.P. Baxxter seriously) the only remaining mystery is what the price of the damn fish is.

There were even people with band portraits on their hoodies. Paired with Buffalo shoes and these pants:

What has been seen cannot be unseen I tell you :panic:
They said it was WICKED.:D

I liked this quote from Vergier:

"I think I pushed as much as possible, it was almost perfect... Aaron Gwin is just crazy fast so I don't care, I am just so happy to be second and for the moment I keep it cool with my expectations."

Agree. T'was a good race to watch, even if I knew the end result caus' friggin' Dirt Magazine tweeted the result. (Thanks Dirt... I'm no longer following you now.) Luckily they hadn't published the rest of the podium, so it was fun to watch the rest of the field to see how things would shape up. Interesting podium for sure. Very cool to see Danny's consistency... I'm sure he's hoping for a higher step, but to see that consistency has to be good for his confidence. Can't wait to see him win one soon.

Anyone else notice Ratboy coasting down after his crash (i.e. "chainless" run)?
I saw Minaar looking down at his bike a couple of times during his run too. In the WynTV post-race interviews Minaar said something went bang and the bike felt strange afterwards. Wonder if something snapped?

Something should be said also about Phil Atwill's natural talent to provide great entertainement. Always super loose and ramming that bike rack at the finish was quite something. Eliot Jackson and his mechanic were certainly stoked as well... :p
