Capricorn Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Race Weekend!! Special event this one as it's 10 years of racing at Fort William and they're special vibe is going to be even better. hotdamn, wish i had gone Promo vid:http://youtu.be/pnU65DjaEk4 But first up, Sam Hill's pink bike for Fort Bill. All for a good cause: his pink racing kit will be auctioned off, to raise awareness around breast cancer. A savage disease, and worthy of the cause. Good on you Sammo...sure fireway to get some boobies in return http://lp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb6674190/p4pb6674190.jpg

Capricorn Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) So when r u getting your Demo? Care to give your Intense to a charitable association? Apparently the OmegaMan Foundation for ExMorewoodMad Recoverees has called dibs on any donations... Unfortunately, janitors dont really earn that well, so I'm gonna have to wait a bit, squirrel away measly pickings and hope the local distributors pulls a massive thumb from his singletrack Edited June 4, 2011 by Jarek Wysocki
Capricorn Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) hotdamn, T-Mo was as beast in the pedally section. Gutted for my girl Rachel 1. Tracy Mosely2. Rachel Atherton3. Floriane Pugin4. Myriam Nicole5. SackofPotatoes 6. Jill Kintner Edited June 5, 2011 by Jarek Wysocki
LazyTrailRider Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Damn! Minnaar's run was super slick, looks like his pedalling is what won it for him though... How insane was Danny Hart drifting all over the place but still getting 2nd?! Reminded me of Sam Hill's Val Di Sol run.
Capricorn Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 i love this photo! http://lp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb6687397/p4pb6687397.jpg

LazyTrailRider Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 http://lp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb6686575/p4pb6686575.jpg I loved Rob Warner's comments just after this slide, something like "hanging his butt out like a vintage golf bag!" That, and "more dangerous than a Spanish cucumber!"
Tumbleweed Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Whats with Needles these days? Apparently he punctured at the top of the course, and opted for a gondola ride down the hill. Gwin was on a flyer - almost four seconds ahead of anyone at the split - but, according to reports, slipped a pedal and crashed near the bottom. I think he's the man to beat this year. Good win for Greg!
