What a run by Hart! Seriously amazing, don't have any words to describe what he has just put down! For someone to put that much time into the rest at world champs is out of this world!!! Seriously unbelievable! Congrats mr hart!
2011 World Championships: Champery
- Thread starter RUFUS
- Start date
he also rode in COMPLETELY different conditions.
Holy crap that was awsome.
Congrats on Danny and cheers freecaster for the coverage!!

Well blow me down.
was 0.9 down at split 1, crashed and wrapped his bar in the catch netting on one of the bridges.
I think it would have been worth $50.
Danny Hart, WOW! Amazing win and pretty much the best riding I have ever seen.
Did gee race?
holy sh1t that was nutty. Fycking crazy run, huge whip, so rad! and gwins run was on pace too, I couldn't believe he was ALSO on a run to take 10 seconds out of the field, wtf why are they so much better?!
that was awesome by hart, and he couldn't have picked a better place to win his first elite WC.

yah, he didn't look right and took like 4 falls though, hope he's ok
52nd place
That whip was a big exclamation point on his run too! so awesome!
barely. several crashes.
Kind of......not on form and a few spills. 50th I think he placed
Fvcking EPIC!
Danny Hart - please don't get all sam hill fat now on us over the winter.

Can please someone tell Hart that the Glory's HA is too steep.
think this will put to rest the "glory HA is too steep for the tracks i ride" opinion prevalent on the forums?
I think JCL on here can handle that for you. He has been good at that in the past.Can please someone tell Hart that the Glory's HA is too steep.
If he was on a stock Glory with zero mods to the angles (like, no angleset), then maybe.
Absolutely!!
I hope those assholes who were raving "Blenki lost a step... his Lapierre bike sux blah blah blah blah blah" will have learned to shut their mouths.
Seriously?
Are we back to this again?
Clearly, you must've been watching a different race because this "fat" guy just pulled a 6th place ahead of Gee, Greg, Gwin, etc. on the hardest track on the WC circuit and in the worst conditions--short of a hurricane--possible.
Can we please drop the "Sam Hill is fat and slow" thing because it's obviously not much of an issue?
Jus' sayin'.......
Wow!!!! Just Wow!!!!

As much as everyone is giving it to hart, he was on another level
for the mear mortals champion something has to be said about Spagnolo. what a run. He held that seat forever and training under barel is clearly shining though. He knew what to do in every corner and going in and out of every line. When he was standing waiting to get on the podium Danny had the bewilderment of what he had just done and Blenki looked disappointed in himself for 3rd... But you couldnt have wiped the smile off Damian Spagnolo's face with a 120 grit sandpaper covered maul. Total pro and glad after his last few years of coming close to the top to see him come out on top like that.
Congrats to Hart, Brossy, Emmeline and Manon

Well said.. also Pascal, that must be his best result in years! i think its maybe the whole french camp had something up their sleves.
Its funny how all the winning margins were 10+ secs
most epic run I've ever seen! The five of us (in the room) couldnt believe what we were seeing, no one realized how fast he was going untill the first split, it was crazy!!! Sucks for Gwin, he fell in a really awkard place, he could have had it to!
and officially, Sam Hill did beat Gwin.. hahaha Flame on 8ters 
but as others have said: fantastic worlds. Feed from freecaster was simply superb. zero glitches, which give world cup coverage, was out of this world. way2go Freecaster, and cheers till what, 4 years hence?? maybe?
Gee Atherton: Annus Horribilus. on to 2012 G-man!
But it's back to the drawing board for everyone re the world cup being gwin-ified. Can't wait for the first race next year.

There were no mods. He rides a slacker proto
TBH giant team used anglesets and other tricks to steepen their bikes for a long time (remember Reid rewelding his ATX?).As for Hart and Gwin being on another level. I think such insanely steep and muddy track in Champery is much more dependant on confidence than anything we have seen this year. They both claimed to be a bit suprised with how good their results were this year so their confidence probably pretty high.
Too bad some of the better technical riders were injured. Brendog, Hill , Blenki (I know he wasnt injured at the time of the race but the injury wasnt long ago). Could have been more interesting.
Im super stoked for Hart. Now he needs to put some training in the winter and he can rock next year. Imagine him under someone like Tomac, Barel or Nico.
I got back super late last night and slept in. Is there a video anywhere especially of Harts run?
Training? no way man, he just needs a smoke pre-racerun to get take the edge off.... the Giant/Marboro team for 2012! truly smoking the competition
damn, he came so close to sliding out a few turns before the wooden bridge.
someone on FB posted the video but not sure if i can link it
