Interesting that the dude on the 29er did what every other dude on a 29er seems to do when faced with a technical rocky section........ Crash.

Stevie Smith the great Canadian hope on his "one night stand" bike from Devinci Global Racing with interestingly enough, a custom tuned BlackBox fork.

I suspect some foul play...

 

Here's a certain World Champ telling Stevie Smith which line to take

LOL. He may have had his glasses out for the race run. Something along the lines of "if I can't see it it isn't there, and I can't *** out 'cos of it"

"Don't worry, I fixed that big hole in the first corner. Just go for it!"

So we mortals on 150mm bikes have no excuses - downhill tracks can be hammered on them. Or is it the rider :-)

Yeah what happened there, looked like to me that Hill's feet came off his FLAT pedals causing him to loose control

Nah. He just cased a landing. His feet remained on the pedals. He just had ALL of his weight transfer to the front of the bike and went OTB. If he had come off the pedals there would have been a far more spectacular stack.

Watch the vid, his left foot definitely came off as a result of "casing" something, maybe even his right foot, leaving him without the preverbal leg to stand on....

 

He might have saved it if he had both feet on the pedals, clipped onto the pedals

Swissvan,are you a runner or a swimmer? Because no cyclist could make such an doff comment.
