raw dh qualifying footage.Anyone else notice what appears to be the orange logo on top of Peatys helmet after his OTB?

does no one else think even the infamous Schladming has become a bit bike parky in sections. Rode Champery WC again this summer and it felt alot more 'mainline' then years previous.

I actually like riding more man made open stuff as there is none where i live

Wait what? What has champery to do with Schlad being bike parky? The parts of Schlad WC track that are under the lift and not in the forest were always bike parky in a way since they were on some kind of gravely thing. The only thing that made it non bike park is that it was warp speed, rough and sometimes very steep. Is there less of the woods since 2008?

Televised at 9:15am on the East Coast of USA. Correct?

Possibly in support of Michael Bonney?

Hart took a bad spill and gashed his hand this morning and sadly has been forced to hang up his clips for the 2013 season early.

Three of the top ten out in half a weekend...

 

[6thElement]

That sucks, those conditions looked good for Hart

 

[stiksandstones]

You also said he is taking over for Gwin at Trek, which was...'pretty clear', and pretty bat**** crazy.

I guess when I said "next year is going to be his breakout year" I wasn't quite clear enough. I'll rephrase so the internet sleuths can follow along.

next year is going to be his breakout year.

Another slideshow.

Steve Peat's full front flip over the roots is a crazy sight. Tuck and roll....tuck and roll.

Tough luck for Hart too.

I don't really hate Gee, I just like Stevie a lot more.

I second that, a lot of haters for Gee. I did route for him at the red bull rampage, he doesn't seem to radiate much charisma in the interviews. All business and no fun for Gee, being as fast as he is I am sure it puts a target on him as well. Palmer would kick his ass off the bus

Gwin will have his hands full next year being the team captain, would it be more difficult at trek or specialized?

What Mic does deserve is a contract with one of the big guns, no denying that or knocking Hutchinson.

The short season sure did turn out to be thrilling!!

It would be great to see (I am an east coaster), old macdonald would have to turn the keys over.

Hutchinson-UR might not have huge transporters, but they seem pretty legit to me.

 

[atrokz]

Palmer would kiss his ass
!

ftfy. A drunk bozo the clown would have zero chance against Gee in any spectrum of athleticism. The sport got serious for the top guys a while ago, and while Palmer is legendary, he wasn't exactly a nice person in any connotation of the word nice.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

^^^ Agreed, I hope Mik stays put and goes even faster next season. After his best season ever why change?

Why is the iPad Redbull TV app showing Sebastian Vettel flying a helicopter instead of the DH race?

 

[Verskis]

Luckily the redbull TV website is showing the race! Usually been watching it through the app.

 

[CBJ]

Redbull TV site has worked flawlessly all year. Crips pictures today and even more camera angles to go.

Nice racing from the ladies today.

 

[Da Peach]

make sure you've updated your app. I had the same issue last week, updated the app, and voila.

 

[toodles]

Just got home and chucked on the coverage. Everytime I watch it, I'm blown away by the Redbull coverage. Love their work

 

[RayB]

Great ride by Fearon. Super nice kid.

 

[toodles]

Poor Beaumont. How frustrating would that be..

 

[4gnegative]

Beaumont chokes... too bad it was a good run!

 

[RayB]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Bryceland. Huuge off that last jump

 

[CBJ]

Some great racing already today.

 

[Jeremy R]

Yep. Peat is still awesome.

 

[RayB]

Brosnan's bike.... drool

 

[RayB]

Doesn't matter where Blenkinsop finishes, he is ALWAYS the most stylish rider.

 

[CBJ]

Yep. Peat is still awesome.

So cool as Warner said its like the old Peat is back with the bike moving around under him style riding.

 

[toodles]

Where is Bruni finding these seconds?

 

[4gnegative]

Damn Bruni!

 

[RayB]

Bruni might've just won this....

 

[RayB]

Holy shh!!!!tttt this is INCREDIBLE racing.

 

[4gnegative]

Stevie!!!!! Look at the time!!!!

 

[toodles]

Solid. Best racing in ages.

 

[Jeremy R]

North america!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RayB]

Incredible.

 

[Jeremy R]

Ha, Awesome run by Steve. That was incredible.

 

[CBJ]

What a run what a run

 

[toodles]

That was effin sick.

 

[drkenan]

This is the only race I've ever watched that made me physically sick from nerves. Holy crap.
