http://lp3.pinkbike.org/p1pb6168857/p1pb6168857.jpg Doerfling had a sea of eager photographers raising and lowering their cameras in unison for his 8 or so runs-ins during Friday afternoon. Finally ready, he came in hot and you would have backed him to grease it nicely. In the end he was forced into a picture perfect ejection, just enough to clear the knuckle and to slide cleanly the full length of the transition, standing up totally unscathed...to the absolute disbelief and stoke of stunned onlookers.

I have to say it is disconcerting to see a DH helmet come loose in a crash. Surely that is a claim right there.

Can't believe the bikes these guys used to use, most of them don't even have suspension!

That's the stuff we used to ride, road bike with flat bars and knobly tires...

And that's exactly how I used to bounce, now I just splat!
