Burry goes goldmining

[CAAD4]

Fontana was brave, true olympic spirit, and of course introduced the commentators to the "Lefty". Kulhavy to ride a ds bike, albeit with hardly any movement in that rear shock, and of course the victory wellington boots, as podium shoes, priceless...

Well thank goodness you started a 100 threads of what tools, shoes and helmet you should get, the beachfront rides do get technical

 

you were implying that the coarse was More designed for the 29er and that is why I asked why you ride a 26 inch

Never underestimate the beachfront ride, you need all your wits about you. From having to bunny hop an ice cream munching kid, to the switchbacks getting around the longboarders, for me it's the dowhill run from uShaka that best tests your technical abilties.

Hey, did you guys see Fontana go outside the pink markers when he hit Kulhavey wheel and went off track, technically he should be disqualified. Hermida should have bronze!

Heehehe, those Wellies surely made for a great podium, I think it would have won him over some new fans too.

I could be wrong but they are allowed a number of infringements, as well as the fact that he did not intentionally cut a corner or go off the course.

Dangle you normally pick up those details?

[CAAD4]

I reckon those boots are Czech team issue, as there was a female athlete that wore them on the podium a few days ago..

Hi Sharky, which details ?

All to impress the Brit's of course

[sharkysa]

Fontana going outside the pink markers when he touched wheels with Kulhavey, should be DQ

Ah, I see.

I recall the commentators talking about the markers yesterday and they mention that the riders would be allowed x-amount of infringements outside of the markers.

As I said, I could be wrong.

[sharkysa]

O I thought automatic DQ, maybe I just like Hermida too much...????????

Some mean handle bars on that chap

 

He also impressed Me today, very stubborn and just didn't want to go away

[sharkysa]

And overall attitude to life.

That would of been a bit harsh though in my opinion, because that infringement came from riding hard to stay there, not to cut a corner or something
