But non of them didn't. Imagine the sacrifice they did for what some consider to be a fashion statment. Obvoiusly it's something that isn't a part of their personalities that some are trying to make them wear. Soldidarity is a beautiful thing.
That's a good pic! While Gee is smiling in the back.Greg capped it all off for me by stuffing the sword straight through the champagne bottle, trying to indulge in a spot of sabrage... Magic.
Gee smiled, Rennie literally exploded in hilarity at it!

When I used to bike courrier there was one guy (taht I know of for sure) who put a sock in his tights.I think there's just a lot of small-penis-syndrome on here, and everyone's getting worried
man I am delighted for those guys on the podium, minnaar, peat and rennie! amazing, at last rennie is back there where he should be, encouraging!
Hill looked slightly uncomfortable in 5th ah well, nothing like a bit of healthy competition!
savage result for the Syndicate!

Damn straightawsome, some people here confuses dh-racing with some kind of beauty contest or whatever
i thought we raced bikes down mountains not catwalks
hey all,
6 years at the same venue sure takes it out of you ... plus weeks on the road missing the loved ones. but the racing was sweet as ... all the better for my mate Greg Minnaar winning ...
so after a tough weekend of soul searching and weighing up of options i give you some photos ... http://www.flipper.co.za/gallery/FortWilliam_2008/

Your pics are always years ahead of all the others Gary.
Cheers again.
Cheers again.
Most creative shooter on the circuit-yet again slays it. Well done Gary.
I have really enjoyed watching the races on Freecaster and would like to thank everyone involved. I am thinking it is just me, but the voice comentarry is always ahead of the Video. It can be pretty confusing. I am using wireless broad band with my lap top and patching it into my big screen. I live in the middle of no where at the moment and the broad band is all i have for a connection. I would guess it is too slow as it stops to buffer an annoying ammount.
other than that I am stoked .
Thanks all.

Thanks all.
The amazing run of Cerdic is up on freecaster.....no hands, table tops
As always Gary you out do yourself, the light and composition and all that stuff I don't understand much about are just so good in all those shots.
The shot of the leaderboard in the foreground with the track in the distance is gold. The shots of Blinky and Sammy framed by the trees while hopping that stump are mean as too! Gold all round.
once again, after each race, when the dust settles and everything shakes out, this is the one post i look forward to most......
thanks gary, no one captures the essence of our sport as well as you do.....pure nostalgia....you're amazing
We should all get a room with Gary or something..........ha, solid photos rock!
Agree with Ian Collins, some amazing shots once again! I'm liking the 'early sunday morning practice' shot, lush.
I agree. That was pretty sick!
Hahaha, yeah I can see the Cruzians now, not often I've seen a podium that happy!Gee smiled, Rennie literally exploded in hilarity at it!

Guess that was a common thing among racers back in the day.
Look at the catsuit Michelle Pfifer is wearing in Batman Returns and compare it to the skinsuit the Mojo team wore, and you'll realize which of the two styles belong on the catwalk...Damn straight

gee is like sticking his crotch out feeling hella sexual
minnaar is like revenge!! arrg
peat is lovin it all
and hill. . . . . well hes just staring at minnaar thinking, that looks like fun, that should be me up there you bastard
ahahha
Yeah Hill doesn't look very into it in any of those pictures. He may be a graceful loser and all, but you can tell it's eating him up. He's lost the last 3 weekends in a row, so I'd expect him to snap back hard any time now. Minnaar's gonna be ridiculous this year with a working shoulder.
Awesome pics from everyone! The whole weekend was an absolute blast! I even got sunburnt! In Fort Bill!

It's a good race season when you know next podium you may not even see any of those faces from this week. Next week it might be:
Kovarik
Barel
Gracia
Smith
Fairclough
Nah, maybe just Barel and Kovarik.It's a good race season when you know next podium you may not even see any of those faces from this week. Next week it might be:
Kovarik
Barel
Gracia
Smith
Fairclough
-Gracia is transforming into a worldclass new era sport-commentator.
-Smith is to hot. Needs to chill with some fruitsallad.
-Fairclough is just not fast enough right now.
I´d say Kovarik. The man is do or die imporsonate. He can destroy the feel anytime he puts a run together.
He is still leading the overall. And there are some more races to come which suit his style better, so I bet he will win the last round in schladming and keep the jersey and by the way smoke everyone at Val di Sole, another great track for Sam.....
...'cept Peaty is FINALLY going to do it!
Peaty would definitly derserve to become World Champ!!
Would be great for the sport but I still put my money on Hill becouse he has prooved that he can handle the pressure at the worlds better than the rest of the riders
The only way Peat is ever going to win a World Champs is if some fan-boy of his at the UCI pulls some strings and gets the event held on the Lisbon Downtown track. And £10 says he'd manage to **** that up too :biggrin:
"those look like tombstones in his mouth" Warner on Peaty's teeth.
Haahahha yeah, didn't he also say like "look he's showing his teeth"?"those look like tombstones in his mouth" Warner on Peaty's teeth.
The new freecaster final runs are up. They include footage shot by 2 of our exclusive cameras in the woods, which TV somehow thought was a good idea to not have cameras in.
you got a link?
maybe it's just me, but the most recent video I'm seeing is the interview with Greg. (posted June 11)
the run videos date from June 08 and June 09
