Somewhere in this lies a really, really good polock joke.
Why do they bury polocks with their asscheeks sticking out of the ground?Somewhere in this lies a really, really good polock joke.
So they will have a place to park their bicycles at funerals.
Hey, its not that funny but its bike related.
Confirmed.Well looks like Sam had a 3c on the front, normally he loves his Super Tacky Slow Rezzy's
It says so on his myspace page. I've got it bookmarked if you want it. You'd be shocked at his boxers or briefs answer.
Just rewatched this clip and it sounds like they sing "Sam Sam Sam Sam a murda", and indeed he killed everybody out there. Fvck Gee, that was Sams race. And that drift was insane!

Not sure if its up already but here is a sam vs gee split screen

Well, it was Sam's race to lose when he got to that last turn. Gee stayed upright and stopped the clock first. He won, plain and simple.
Sam is probably the best rider right now but the bottom line is that you gotta get across the line first. Whether you get beat or "beat yourself" doesn't really matter, the pure sweet objectivity of the clock does not lie. That's DH racing. I don't know the guy but hopefully Sam would be the first to agree.
And personally, despite the adrenalin-fueled trash-talking, I have mad respect for Gee - his run was pretty awesome.
Clearly Sam's crash was the fault of Iron Horse...if they had re-bagged his bike as a Saturday, he would have been all set.
The FC guys have clearly altered the timeline a few times so we can see people on the same bits at the same times, which is kinda cool, but also a bit of a shame. A necessary evil I guess with 3 seconds between them in places.

If you watch closely, there's a random specator who jumps away from the fencing just before the crash. I wonder if that distrated Bryn for a split second and he veered off into that bank because of it?

Sam was up over 4 seconds on Gee at the second split.
And somebody said he was up over 6 seconds on the big jump before he crashed. Without that crash, he would have won by what 7 seconds.
Insane.
Man, what you don't know is that I'm a fan of Hammarby IF, a football club, and as one I don't care about losing as long as we play the best looking game. The beauty is in the game and scooring 3 points is just a small part of it. No disrespecting toward Gee but Sams riding is out of this world, he's riding that bike like Luke Skywalker swings his sword. Gee's a mere mortal, all he won was a sweater, Sam has the highest source of trichlorides (hope my StarWars memory is right about that name..
) of all beings.
Midi-chloriansSam has the highest source of trichlorides (hope my StarWars memory is right about that name..
Sam was up by 6.83 seconds at the drop onto the super fast part where Bryn crashed. That is just about 3/4 of the way down the course. He was well over 8 seconds by the nissan jump.
Gee's a tourist, somebody please hand him his electrical fan so he won't burn up in Sams afterburner exhaust.
Hey, fellow nerd!!Midi-chlorians

and by normally you mean not since 2006 right? Except for when he runs spikes i haven't seen him use anything other than 3c minions the past 2 years. If you're going to sweat the details make sure you pay attentionWell looks like Sam had a 3c on the front, normally he loves his Super Tacky Slow Rezzy's
Well my copy of Dirt magazine must have photochopped his tires!
and did a switch on me
and did a switch on me
I hear ya and that's one of the reasons I don't race very often. (Another reason is that I just ain't very fast!) But we are talking about racing here. A win is a win and this time it was Gee's day.
As for Gee being a "mere mortal", if Saturday proved anything it proved that Sam is also mortal.
I dunno about that.... Well this one would give it a run for its money for sure.

Holy crap. That is a rough, rough sequence. His limbs and head are all over as he rolls. Blood and dirt all over his face at the end. Nasty. Glad he looks like he's okay at the end, though.
And, I just watched the vid of Bryn's crash. HOLY CRAP. Guess he didn't see that coming. WTF happened? Did he go faster there than he was thinking or forget where he was and just hit that compression over the front and not ready? If you haven't checked it out, take a look. Not too brutal, but very bizarre.
jesus christ. one of these days he's really gonna let one rip with a winning margin as big as rachel atherton over sabrina.5.5 over Gee; 8.4 over Peaty:
Sam:
Gee:
Peaty:
That ain't Bryn.
Duh! Duh!Um, that was the point
Or maybe let one rip like when Kovarik ruined everyones day at fort william.
I just let one rip, it must have ruined the dog's day because she just left the room . . . damn asparagus :biggrin:
Haha... You´re crazy. Haha...
Yup, they're cursed. If you're a Japanese bike, a German bike, or a bike of any other nationality, you're fine. I don't understand it either...
i dont sense the sarcasim in your post so ill go ahead and say it.
polished bikes, not polish.
polished, shiny :biggrin:
