What race were you watching? Jill took herself outwith no one very close to her. I am not sure if she tried to pedal to soon out of the corner or what, but her front tire briefly slid out then her rear tire slid out. She did a great job of stepping up into the berm to block the other riders coming down though.
What no official Mont Sainte Anne WC thread yet?
- Thread starter DIRT-HQ
- Start date
What about Billy Trailmix (Dirt) I heard he was releasing a WC Pit Chit Chat DVD too?
I'm aware of where she went down and how. The fact is, she started contact right out of the gate, again (3rd week in a row?). karma can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.
Do we have ourselves a female version of Karim Amour?
Awesome...
Gotta say, that's one of those MSA pics and it's fricken spot on. Love it.
22 pics with audio clips from sam, peaty, gwin, greg and others. such a f'ing sick race!

Crazy....but, I'd like to see some internet videos from Blenky's jump in his race run.
Me too! How mental was Blinky LAUNCHING that hip in fairly slick conditions. he had the hucker head slap and all going on.
There was also some guy that littermag raves about, american guy, 'groz' or something, he was like 130th in quali.
As said, pretty sweet that Palmer qualified after not racing WC's in 10 yrs and only being on a MTB for a month.
I am sure that idiot in here that always talks about Palmers former drug issues will chime in with one of his lame cheap shots, but I for one am proud of the old legend.
Ok, who is the Rapper or band in this video? Sick song for the video edit!!!

think its a Scratch Perverts remix
Thanks, he is sick!!!!
Can't wait the dvd's from Lawlor, Reynolds and Theo.
Stoked on this guy as well. Listen to a fair whack of grime and never even heard the name. Thanks!
No probs
You've got to be kidding
Actually that's "Griz" real name: Sean McClendon (spelling?). He took over a spot after another rider broke his collar bone and jacked up his wrist at the US Open.
I was away this weekend out on the mountain, but from what I heard Palmer Quali'ed 72nd - which (as has already been pointed out) is pretty amazing considering he's been away from DH for 10 years. 12th at Nationals isn't anything to sneeze at either. I know and have ridden with some of the guys he went up against and they are SUPER fast.
So - (EDIT - Nevermind...
)BTW - Congrats to GWIN!!! USA on the podium for a change.

what Palmer did was incredible. I know guys who train their asses off to just try and qualify for a world cup, and they are half Palmers age, and spend way more time on their bikes than he does. So a big congratulations to him. I hope that I am even a fifth as fast as he is when I am 40!!
Anyone knows where you can see 4X footage?
Anyone know where Palmer ended up?
Stoked for Steve Smith's 7 too!

Nah, it is all the bike. Those guys should ride Intense and all would be good!
*kidding*Seriously, UCI should start a Vet Pro ranking. Like they have an U18.
well said!
Anybody besides me cringe during the whole Palmer/Warner exchange of "I'm sober now. Can't drink anymore." from Palmer and Warner just twisting the knife of "yeah, but that was awesome. we were so wasted. you were so drunk" Not exact quotes, but it sounded painful for Palmer to have to stand there and just be reminded of drinking binges and Warner sounding like the devil whispering in his ear. Just my take. Maybe others heard it in a different light?
I agree with you, it was quite painful to listen to...
Palmer made a bit of a show of Warner IMO particularly when he spotted Brendan's line through the rock section. Asking him what sort of commentator was he...
Warner was terrible at MSA.
Why do that, Peaty would have a 10 million point lead.Nah, it is all the bike. Those guys should ride Intense and all would be good!

Just watched the replay, that was awesome! Great race for sure!
LOOK AT THE TIME! lol
I can't believe warner is getting paid for his commentating, and he actually admits it.
The UCI camera and production peeps need to get their ducks in a row. Jeebus.
Good on ya Gwinny!

it wasnt his finest hour..I agree with you, it was quite painful to listen to...

Warner was terrible at MSA.
the whole commentary just felt awkward, and they barely discussed the riders.
can anyone who was there give some insight into why noone was beating Gins top section time. did it rain or was Gwin just that fast?
it would be nice to have the commentators actually commentate on the race instead of reliving old glory days every time. I do feel sorry for the bottom 60 racers who don't even get mentioned, or at best ridiculed. A little info about bike setup, what gear people are running, some history. there has to be someone like barel out there to keep warner in line.
I'd rather see Barel riding but his is the best commentator ever.
Does anyone know if there is footage of Blenkinsop's crazy hip boost? I missed it due to freecaster not working.

I was amazed when Gwin went through the section under the lift, def fastest of the riders while I was there. It did threaten to rain and perhaps a few drops fell on course but nothing that would make a difference.
I think I may have been somewhat responsible for Warners performance at this race
glad to hear it! it was just a bit of a surprise just how many people he smoked on that top section. i was sneakily hoping hed take the win after gee came down, but 3rd is phenomenal.
do you work in a liquor store??I think I may have been somewhat responsible for Warners performance at this race
Start here, work your way down the page.
honestly i think they should keep warner as a commentator
even though he was bad that weekend
still he needs to step up his a game a little
to find the besdt mix between funny bullsh!t and information for the viewers
do you really think you could stand whole race of some commentator just rattling facts he reads from a piece of paper?
that would be boring
and yes fabien barel needs to qualify worse in order to get into that booth and commentate the race

One of my favorites that I took of Palmer this weekend.
