Amazing race... its no secret that I think Greg is the best since sliced bread...

 

These guys are all riding so close to the edge/line.

 

It is not bad luck that Aaron exploded his tire on a rock - he had a bad line choice.  Don't get me wrong... Aaron has more talent in one of his ball-hairs than i could ever have, but its not Lady Luck who made him loose that race.

Does Gwin seem like a bit of a jerk to anyone else or is it just me?

Trying hard to feel sorry for him but somehow I can't. I should support him as he represents my brand but he just seems a bit too cool for school.

Not to take anything away from Greg but Gwin was the fastest down that mountain.

Seems a cool guy to me . Took it on the chin...

Unfortunately you need to get down the mountain and then through the finish gantry too. Gwinn was racing on the edge.. When you race on the edge you take lines that are not 100% of what was intended and you things like blown tyres happen. It's hard luck.. But it's the fine line between racing and winning

I thought he seemed nice! Pleasant and friendly. His interview at least I thought was very friendly for a guy who just lost a race he had in the. He could/should have been alot angrier!

 

Like GM was last week! He was proper pissed

You're probably right. Just a vibe I got, nothing more concrete. Legend talent though.

This just in: WynTV Finals episode confirms Phill Atwill is a tuh-wat.

 

But having heard his manager speak about 29'ers I'm sure he's got a team spot for life. Losers everywhere.

I'm not too bothered by the guy. He's the quintessential English yob. 

 

Also keep in mind he's only 22. None of us we're our best selves at that age.

I used to think he was a bit arrogant until I read his story on PB on how he got to where he is now.  Then I realised that it was not arrogance but confidence.  Having had so little experience in DH racing and yet doing so well that by the end of that year he basically had full a contract with Yeti.  You must believe 100% in yourself to achieve that. 

Still not his biggest fan but when he is fast he is pretty damn fast!

Phill is a yob but he's 22. So give him a break. His riding style is amazing. I'm very happy for him and expect him to do well if he looks after his body. Talent wise he is right up there with the best.
