  1. Think the wont back down peaty story sums this up nicely.. he was never the best racer but stuck at it until he achieved his goals. He wasnt the best rider in the beginning or towards his world champ win finally.. he fought Vouilloz to the bitter end of his career and only then won,,, never backing down just continuing to plow on..! There was younger riders like hill,fabien who came up and affected his efforts aswell by winning races early on in their careers. He knew he wasnt as smooth as them... but its was about his game and not theirs,to conquer the things which he sees as accomplishments. Peaty says he still cant believe he rides a bike for a living.... and just happens to be a legend .. even if he wasnt the best just on pure effort and determination alone. + hes blue collar just like the rest of us .. which makes the victories even more sweet. "Just riding my bike with mates and a couple of races inbetween" Its like me giving up the feelings and freedom i feel from sk8boarding just because the kids are so good quickly nowadays.... like i said when i started " ill stop when my body wont let me anymore" same goes for my bike

  7. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11069508/p5pb11069508.jpg Like most riders on the circuit, Fairclough is running a seven speed cassette, with a custom spacer taking the place of the missing three cogs. Shimano's Saint gruppo handles shifting and braking duties - note the two different caliper mounting positions to be used when changing the bike's wheelbase http://www.pinkbike.com/news/world-cup-dh-bike-check-brendan-faircloughs-scott-gambler-2014.html
  8. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11069509/p5pb11069509.jpg A 'First Ride' set of Schwalbe's Magic Mary tires are mounted on a DT Swiss wheelset. The wheels don't have Schwalbe's dual valve system, but take a look at that note near the valve stem: .8 to 1.6bar equates to 12-23psi, which is low pressure no matter how you measure it. Those two buttons at the back of the Fox Air 40 fork are bleed valves to release any air that may have built up internally.
  9. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11069299/p5pb11069299.jpg There are two rear wheel positions along with two rear shock positions, making it possible to change both the wheelbase and bottom bracket height depending on the demands of the course.

  13. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11062056/p5pb11062056.jpg You'll soon discover that despite what you assumed from watching endless GoPro footage, the track is much steeper than it looked.
  14. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11062053/p5pb11062053.jpg Always be sure to adhere to all course markings.
  15. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb11062054/p5pb11062054.jpg Lesson learned: Real pro's always bring an umbrella. Look how much more pro it looks to point out lines to your teammates using your umbrella. If all you have is a water bottle it isn't pro.

  18. HAHAHa http://es.pinkbike.org/sprt/f2/s/166.gif cebelar123 (3 hours ago) This video makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hyperthermia, DIE, go to the pearly gates, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for buddah, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subject to bring me a computer, watch this video again, and cry my self to sleep. Such a bad ass track .

  20. We're focusing and worrying about all these other disciplines coming and going, but to me downhill is a piece of gold that just needs to be cleansed.
  21. Went from 20" wheels x 2,down to 55mm wheels x 4,then back to 20" x 2, then up to 26" x 2.. Some weekends ive even gone straight from the 55mm's to a 29".. with little worry Jokes aside 20" to 26" way bigger step and then its not even... 55mm is a sk8board wheel Like saying im scared to go from a cruiser board to a longboard...
