except that bottom turn section. Sam was substantially slower there!Wow I just watched the sam vs. gee side by side, and sam was so much faster in every section. Freecaster is awesome, bringing the masses to the best sport in the world.
Freecaster is the Devil! They're the new "opium for the people". It used to be the church who captured peoples minds, as well as educated them. Then the tabloids took over the role of dopyfying the masses (I guess some stupid bitches thought they got educated from them). Now we're seeing the break of the new dawn; Sam Hill will dazzle the masses with his balls out riding. Hail to the new Pope!Wow I just watched the sam vs. gee side by side, and sam was so much faster in every section. Freecaster is awesome, bringing the masses to the best sport in the world.
Ohh man, that's a pity. I race because it gets me pumped like nothing else, not because I can tudor the others in Shaolinbiking. If it get's you crazy, DO IT!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.
no freaking way! Thanks Freecaster!
not a full replay but still...that's rad that they put that up!! Rob Warner is on fiyah!!!
Yeah, no luck here either. I have no problems with the other Freecaster vids or the live feed, but the live replay vid just isn't working for me.Is the vid not working for anyone else?
probably look a lot like the non-rainbow one he already wears on a regular basisI wonder what Sam Hills new non rainbow stripes helmets guna look like???????
It does not start playing as fast as normal videos. My computer sat for about 45mins before the video started to play.Yeah, no luck here either. I have no problems with the other Freecaster vids or the live feed, but the live replay vid just isn't working for me.
yeah, I noticed the same. bummer for him, maybe a collapsed spring?Any of you noticed the italian guy in the beginning of the full replay? His Fox 40 looks very broken. He appears to have about 3 inches of travel available throughout his race run.
Word, couldnt have put it better myself. I was talking to my uncle who raced with nico about sam. He didnt know who sam was until I showed him the freecaster vids of sam. He said vico is truely and alien but sam has the potential to change the sport as we know it.Did my daily freecaster.com replay of Sam Hill's run at worlds.....
I don't get it? how can a human being stay upright all the time while going so fast? (I am talking about the gnar sections, not the final sweeper turn).
Just amazing.
I will say however, there are times I watch sam hill and say to myself 'self, this is the fastest guy ever on a bike, holy crap!!!"
Then I watch some old vids of Nico and remember there was this astonishing talent before. Did not think there would be another alien-like rider so soon.
My experiances of the Force while in Jedi Academy is that Sam is projecting the future of his ride while riding. He has seen him self over every obstacle and corner and seen that "I'm going to skid this much", and that is why he can stay soo cool and sometimes even keep his foot up with confidence.Did my daily freecaster.com replay of Sam Hill's run at worlds.....

Did you get to see the GT team video they were showing of Nico in practice airing out some rock to G-out at St. Anne that Cully & Peaty said was f-ing impossible to do that was cutting some 2 seconds off his time?Did my daily freecaster.com replay of Sam Hill's run at worlds.....

I've got this theory - and no evidence to prove it - that some people have nervous systems that are wired so differently from the rest of us that they actually perceive time differently. There are other examples in nature - think of, say, a house fly or a chipmunk - some little creature that can make sudden movements almost instantaneously and faster than the human eye can perceive. I've read that studies have shown that because their nervous systems are basically faster than ours, we appear to move in slow motion to them (how many times have you tried to swat a house fly with your hand and that sumbitch somehow moves just before you squash it?).I don't get it? how can a human being stay upright all the time while going so fast?

There was a late 80's - early 90's movie about a guy that had that ability. Wasn't it called The Fly?I've got this theory - and no evidence to prove it - that some people have nervous systems that are wired so differently from the rest of us that they actually perceive time differently.

Basically, I wonder if the same thing holds true for some people - they can perceive and process information at a rate the rest of us cannot, making things like obstacles in a DH course seem to come at them more slowly. If that were true, it would literally be impossible for most of the rest of us to do the things these people can.

BTW, none of this is meant to diminish Sam's freakish ability to cut insane turns, his dedication, and his huge drive to win - those are also huge factors in his performance.
Graves chose a bad line for the turn is all. If Deldyke hadn't taken him, he had 2 other riders who were aimed right at him too. He swung wide early thinking he would cause the others to scrub speed and force them all wide.I haven't heard much mention of Jared Graves getting taken down in the 4x final. I can't help but feel like this was his race. Watch the Yeti podcast...
I agree. Coming from a background in BMX, Graves made a mistake and it ultimately led to what transpired. Had he taken the same line the other 2 riders took (low - high), I think his chances would have been better that he would have been able to hold them off and come out of the turn in first.Graves chose a bad line for the turn is all.

I agree. However, had Graves not been there to begin with I think he has a better chance to come out in first taking the low-high line. Deldycke was out of control no doubt about that but bottom line is, Graves made a mistake and the rest is history. I hope he can pull off a Win at the Olympics. That would be very cool. I have always thought Graves has a great style! IMHO, he is the most overall talented rider out there! In 2007, he was the only rider in the world to participate in 3 of cycling worlds. BMX, 4x and DH. The guy can ride a bike and it's only a matter of time before he gets his World Championship!Graves did leave a window open for Deldycke but it was Deldycke that screwed up, watch the video you can see his feet are all out of place and his body is too far forward like he's tripped up on himself.
that b&w set is hot hot hot!and the other that i shot in B&W with a little more behind the scenes perspective here: http://www.flipper.co.za/gallery/Worlds_2008_BW/
