$5 says Waylon could kick Gwin's A&*!

Nothing about Port Angeles?!
- Thread starter slyfink
- Start date
A.) It wasn't wet. It was damp in the morning but was well burned off by the time the pros went. PNW hero dirt.
B.) There are maybe 15-20 roots on the whole damn track.
This is the worst race report thread I've ever seen.
flat left hander after the whoops, there's like 16 roots there
You weren't at the track. It was anything but pedally OR flat. It was in fact, quite greasy in sections and tech in others with plenty of super tight corners. There's no sustained pedalling except for the start straight, but lots of tiny 3 pedal explosions.
If you can corner like a boss, you can do well in PA.

True story. Had to be on your game there.
Why is it fuggin news that gwin lost? Again, unabashed gwin fanboy speaking, but expecting him to win at every single race is goddamn retarded. Especially when people like bryceland, mcdonald, and smith are there. I would not be surprised to see one of those names at the top of the list at a world cup that gwin was racing at.
Yeah from the helmet cams and pics that track looked like a freeway, a narrow freeway, but smooooooth.
Have we learned nothing about judging a track by helmet cam in the past 4 years since La Bresse? It bet even MBA know better.
Forum analysis of helmet cam < WC riders who say the track is rad (and who incidentally hate smooth, one line freeway tracks)
I have no idea what you're talking about. All those 'preview' helmet cam video clips that pop up during a race make me know I'm really getting a feel for exactly what it's like to ride the course.
Shlt I've not recognized helmet cam footage of trails I built.
It's not. People don't understand contracts and priorities.
Great vid.
A) I based it off of what Gwin said about roots and wet and the few photos I saw, but I understand now
B) How does this detract from the point of my post?
c) I added another letter so my point is better than yours.
Exactly.
Like I said, viewing helmet cam footage makes me think I can drop the 50 footer and send the 70 foot gap at rampage. Easy right?
More facts from Vital to go with the speculation ;-)

Here is my guesses for upcoming world cup season.
Gwin remains man to beat, wins overall, but we will see more faces on top step.
Stevie wins one at least, finishes top 3 overall. Gee pushed out of top 3, and he is really mature and happy about it.
This will be the year that Samiam's finally give up the dream that Hill will return to dominant form.

only 5 weeks to go until round 1 - you should shart a 2013 WC speculation thread. by the time the first race quali's happen it should be nice and ripe...
My guess. Gwin barely breaks top 5 all year. Hill returns to form. Everybody concludes that you can't win on a Demo.
Here's some "smooth and flat" for you:

Nice filming in that video really dynamic and great angles.
Also the 3.13 the guy jumping down the hill into another jump is brilliant.

Gracia is now and always will remain the Steeze McQueen of downhill racing. I could give a **** if he took 20th.
