Action recap coming soon!
Aw man cut em some slack! They dont even have hay bales or curved wood at X Games!Second worst case scenario for a crash right there.
Worst would be roughly 2-3 feet short of that. Glad he wasn't hurt more seriously. Are there no hay bales or curved wood in that country?
I was at a massive BBQ last night, at the guy's house who crashed. 20+ stitches in his shin. Besides that, he walked away and threw a massive BBQ, that's just how they roll here.That crash. Heal up quick, whoever you are.
I think it's awesome that a DH race can have that much spectators.
They should have at least one WC race down there. It would be awesome and they deserve it.
Also good to see Tschugg riding.
Thanks dude, I appreciate it. The angles weren't 100% my choice this year. I got stuck in the massive crowd down below and was sort of limited, it worked out alright in the end, but I wasn't pleased. Normally I can stay ahead of the rush of people working their way down the track, but there was a big delay in starting, so the crowd got ahead of me and I was boned. The new photo gallery software I am using also doesn't destroy the image compression like the old one did, thankfully!Ok, just looked through Fraser's gallery and want to say that may be your best free gallery of pics ever. I can't imagine what you have stashed away for sale to your clients if those are one step down?
What did you different? The colors have a different feel than any of your past trips and virtually every single pic seemed to be a different angle than you've used in the past. Also, great pics fo the BBQ.
He's doing it wrong. Just gotta turn it right side up at he'll be all set.was this from the race?
Martin's style is so sick. I've seen some pretty gnarly crash pics and clips from Valpo this year, I hope every one is okay!He's doing it wrong. Just gotta turn it right side up at he'll be all set.

Balls? Yes. Balls of Steel? No. Throwing "caution to the wind?" Definitely not. Why you may ask? Well, this entire course was set up, measured, scoped and cleaned up. There was little need for anticipation or caution on the part of the rider. He obviously already knew the entire course. I think real bike riding down a steep hill in a real "Urban" setting with real long jumps, not fabricated, would be a tad more ballsy. And I'm sure there are plenty of video's to be found of just that. Still though, nice biking. Now, if you really want to see a real Olympiad, show me the Uphill competitions.
This is all nice and dandy, until something goes wrong. Incredible to see the control the drivers have over their bikes, but still, it's a 200+ kg (I'm just pulling that number out of my arse, but I guess those bikes have to weight a nice bit) thing and if that gets a mind of its own, people standing behind some puny metal contraption some 50 cm away will be toast.
Nice to see my work going viral!helmet cam of the winning run made gizmodo:
