Some of them are. 'world class athlete' just means being world class at your respective sport. Define it better if you mean Hill won't be winning a 100m dash any time soon.

I'll guess most RM posters are too young to remember those shows from the 1970s called "The Superstars," where athletes from various sports competed in different format games/events/exercises. The point was to try to see who is the best "athlete" in the generic sense, not in the sport-specific sense.

That's probably way before everyone here's time in front of the Toob though.

You're a mental midget who made a comparison to road cycling, proving that you're a fool. That much is obvious.

What's not as obvious to you, is that I'm probably fitter than you, and definitely more intelligent.

Look at you, watching your pen!s shrink because you have no intellectual chops, so you resort to stupid 4th grader insult.

That's impressive.

Seriously.

If you want to measure cocks on the internet, I'll let you fratboys play that game and deal with your closeted status.

"No seriously, we're totally straight, we just needed to compare pen!s size!"

You're probably one of those guys who thinks IQ from a Stanford-Binet test is the same thing as intelligence.

Kettle and Pot, all in one post. Not too bright eh? I've proved you wrong one more than one occasion on here, so maybe you should start bowing down to my superior mental prowess. You can’t hide from the fact that I pretty much own you, b!tch.

It was done a few times. I seem to remember a soccer player once, MX guy once. I think the soccer player was Kyle Rote Jr and the MX guy was Brad Lackey but don't quote me on it, the 70s were a long time and many parties ago. I remember a bunch of my friends saying it was fake because their favorite Helmetball player or Hoopster didn't win.

Hah! If by "own" you mean "am your servant" then I agree!

Where did you "prove me wrong"? Got a cite or quote? I like when I've been shown wrong. Humility is the gasoline of life's engine.

It's pretty obvious i'm the man in this relationship. What with all your whining and all. But hey, I still love you. Not because you're smart, or beautiful. But because you're a great source of entertainment.

So we're back to the fratboys in the closet and you want me to rush your frat?

Sorry. I've played for the other team all my life. Although I've seen the movie "Kinsey" and understand it to suggest all men secretly want to have sex with another man, it hasn't happened for me yet. Besides, how you gonna roll into the Maternity Ward with those tied tubes, ladyboy?

Yes, I'm aware that top road cyclists dope their blood, and ride a totally different style which puts a lot of emphasis on stamina for many hours on the bike each racing day.

So maybe pick a top amateur who's not doping. Is Aaron Gwin as cycling-fit as a top US amateur road racer who specializes in stage races? Is he as cycling-fit as a velodrome racer or keirin racer?

You already lost your argument right here, yet your brain still continues commanding your fingers to dribble bull**** onto your computer screen.

Your whole argument is based on YOUR ASSUMPTION that top riders do not train or do not train as hard as top athletes in other sports. You fight continually for this with no proof whatsoever....Just stop.

DH isn't road, which isn't track, and all the top competitors would get smoked in the other guys sport, even if the other guy had a few beers for breakfast.

hell even within gravity MTB you can not compare. Jared Graves is a world champ in 4x and raced BMX in the olympics. He would get smoked in DH despite his amazing fitness and dedication to training. Why do you think he has changed his program to drop 15lbs of muscle and focus on being able to pedal for more than 60 seconds.

different sports different training different results.

and let's not forget that you still need to go out and RIDE and become more SKILLED. Danny Hart didn't win Champery by 12 seconds because he spent too much time in the gym and on a road bike trying to be like Contador.

as for the having a beer comments others have thrown around... TDF riders regularly drink wine at night between stages. Just saying ;-)

Sam and Troy are awesome riders and dedicated athletes... please shut the **** up and troll elsewhere.

You are high...the last few years, the bulk of the field has had more than its fair share of drunk derelicts, who did not take a real approach to 'training' and did not have a whole lot of dedication to creating a life as an athlete. This changed when Gwin got involved, and everyone has realized that you can't ride a pump track a few times a week, do a few DH runs, and get wasted on the weekends...and still find your way to the podium.

honnestly,Danny is the perfect example,he drinks and doesn't hesmoke ????

If you ask me,he won not only cause he has the skills,but having that women behind you and some poon on race weekend im sure that will make someone win over hours andhours and hours and hours in the gym ( not that danny doesn't spend time in the gym either )

my god...

does having a cigar at your buddies Bachelor Party or after becoming a father make you a smoker? NO

Does smoking a cig after you won worlds and after training all season, and now that the season is over make you a smoker? NO

Lots of Pro soccer players, FIS Skiers, Rugby players, etc enjoy a casual cigarette from time to time... no big deal.

There were photos of Minnaar having cigars With Rob and Peaty and no one commented. I have smoked cigs with Cedric while getting wasted in Chile after a race and none of us are smokers

**** the original earthed movie has Peaty trying to drink beers as it slides down his overall WC trophy while he has a cig coming out each corner of his mouth.

get over it fellas and stop trolling with all this bull****.

these guys work extremely hard and are the best in the world at what they do. But they are still human just like you and me.

The internet is awesome today! What's the problem? Is everyone stuck inside getting wasted and/or angry because they can't ride?

You train for your discipline. Fitness is discipline specific. Gwin would get smoked by any cat 2 roadie on a 70 mile road ride because he does not spend 15 hours a week riding a road bike. Just like Gwin would smoke any roadie on a DH course. They are both "fit" for what they do.

Didn't Minaar (Kovarik?) do some race XC races a few years back and struggle to finish midpack?

Ball shot w/ Hill FTW.:thumb:

(Since I live in the utopia that is NorCal, I am going to ride my bike now. Can you say hero dirt?)

guys, guys, guys! Luge racers from the X-Games in 1994 train WAYYYYY harder than Sam Hill ever did or has. I remember seeing Bob Pereyra SPRINTING up the Pacific Coast Highway in between runs. Downhillers are such pussies.

Doesn't your dopamine level drop after sex? I recently read an article about sex frequency vs sports and actually some poon on the race weekend can hurt your results as far as brain chemistry goes ;)

There's been a few studies, with inconclusive results. But, all agree that right after sex a male is producing a lot of testosterone, which is the key to performance. Some conclude then, that it may enhance performance if it’s right after. Dopamine isn’t as critical for muscular function in comparison.

Geez, and I was afraid someone would think my statements were long winded.

I only have one thing to add to skew this stew. Nathan Rennie told me (long story as to why he was emailing me)that when they went to the Olympic training center for the Aussie National team the year CK won Ft. Bill by 14 seconds, that Kovarik had the lowest wattage of anyone on the team.

Man love. :rockout:
