The first corner of the Downhill Mania course had lots of action especially in the earlier rounds. Here are a few shots.

That first pic has to be one of the funniest things ive seen in a long time. Looks like someone tied all their shoestrings together and they didnt find out untill it was too late......

For the racers in the pics, I'd definitely put it in the "worse" category.

The race was cool if the racers managed to stay close together, but I think it should be a special event type thing, not the new format for DH racing altogether.

I assume the guy in the Oakley Jersey won in the first pic. This would have been the perfect race for me. Get smoked out of the gate, then wait for the other 3 guys to get tangled up, then I come from behind.

someone needs to rig a shimano airlines shifter unit to provide 100% oxygen, then hook it up to a filter-demand system and breathing apparatus....

In the round of eight Marla used Anka as a berm in the first corner.

it does work an aussie guy Steven Bradbury won olympic gold in short track ice skating

he was running last half a corner behind everyone, when the rest took each other out on the last corner, he just casually skated accross the line first

we call that now "doing a Bradbury"



that first pic is hillarious, well at least it was exciting at the start

It looks like the first guy going down in the first is a guy from Colorado Springs, In fact I'm almost sure it is. I won't mention any names so as to protect the innocent I'll have to get the skinny about how it all got started when he gets back home.

The rider in third place tried the inside line. He just tried a little too far inside. He smacked that pole really had and it didn't move!

 

[Spunger]

Sick shots ya got there.

I guess the FOX DH fork was out in full effect at BB this last weekend? 2 riders in one of those pics have them. They look pretty nice, well built pieces. I just wonder how they'll do against the already proven DH forks out (dorados, boxxers, marzocchi line of dual crown DH forks).

Looks like Mike Ambrose face first in the dirt to me!!

 

[woody415]

Well since you put it that way....YEAH it is!!
