Well it's not going to be a Champrey 2011 but should still be good to watch.
on now
might not be gnarly but it looks tough
i don't watch downhill that much but how long is it since Rachel lost?
Every one I watch she scoots it.
she "lost" Mt StAnne, she fell off
twice iirc, 'pin it to win it, win it or bin it' springs to mind!
Still it's good that one of the outstanding athletes of her generation will get the press coverage she deserves. Or not.
Warner having to mute the microphone after he announced Max Bender was on track 😆
Any one know when the men's start times are?
Now!
Doh! Saw The women top three right thanks mate!
It's no different to on here - half the talk so far has been wheel size..
That will fuel the wheel debate!
And the 29er bites the dust....
29er = face full of floor apparently!
29'er Fail!
#win
had to laugh at that !!!
Damn beaten by 18seconds 😛
29er oops
29ers roll over anything....
29er would win the Towpath WC
Too much cornering grip on the 29er...? Lol
27.5 ruling so far
and single crown
Graves was on 26" wheels wasn't he?
edit: seems not!
I thought graves was 26" too
They just said a trail 27.5 so guess he was on a 27.5 then.
I think the commentators have got it wrong
hahaha they've just said 26" now, pretty sure he was on 26" as he has been for the EWS.
Graves is on 26" SB66, a time set by fitness, strength & talent.
Semi-slick tyres, that's nuts!
Tyre tread makes more difference to speed than tyre size shocker 🙂
more racing ralph with chunky side knobs than semi slick

what happened to Hart there?
[quote=jimmy ]what happened to Hart there?
not that good on the pedals/not as good as the hype?
Looked like Hart had mud down the left side of his shorts.
Just got in chaps, is there a way I can watch it from beginning or is it just the live feed?
Blenky pedalling mid air while whipping. Magic.
the party is down under so far...
ouch !
ooof!
HillDown world champs!
good job Sam has kids already
WOW - Go Greg
Amazing by minaar, he was hardly on the ground at the top!
and can we put these silly big wheels to bed now......
650b and a trail bike in the top 5. Pretty interesting race!
nuttier than squirrel turd - genius
an awesome champion
Impressed graves managed to hold on to third on his trail bike.
Minnaars line into the off-camber rock garden was something else!
Greg credits his win to the pep talk he got from a slightly inebriated Scotsman at the start of the season

That was awesome.
...and Minaar only just got away with running single ply's by the sounds of it.
double post
yep, only just is the difference between gold and silver
Talent, fitness, crowd & luck
and was that right that the bike weighed 31lb!!
32.something lb I think
[quote=winch ]32.something lb I think
still lighter than most of the 28lb bikes round here then 🙂
8)still lighter than most of the 28lb bikes round here then
Great vid link too - top bloke
So after all that, 26" is far from dead/being replaced even on a course like that. Impressive run on the custom 27.5 devinci but an even more impressive run on a SB-66, very impressive the frame could cope running a 180mm fork.
Thanks for the link I enjoyed that
yes you can watch it after the event
Sam hill face plant made me laugh,first time watched a race live,big up red bull !
Is Minaar trying to hide the label on his beer up there?
Only one thing you can say, really.
Lekker Gregy, Lekker.
Is Minaar trying to hide the label on his beer up there?
Ha, never noticed what it said on the label before!
If you get the chance have a look back at the Eliminator finals, it finally seems to be finding itself (or that course was a fluke) it was actually getting exciting with some contact 🙂 and yes that Ozzy is twice the size of everyone else, top bloke though his dad showed us round some of their local trails earlier in the year.
