capediver Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I think we can all agree that when Gwin was a rag doll flung in the air, your heart skipped a beat!Ricky Bobby....!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyrgBNlCumc Looks like user error! Didn't stay high enough, clipped a rock, dived into hole...all stop!
Stretch Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Ricky Bobby....!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyrgBNlCumc Looks like user error! Didn't stay high enough, clipped a rock, dived into hole...all stop!That dude better monetise his channel because that video is going to get used and watched by millions
capediver Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 That dude better monetise his channel because that video is going to get used and watched by millionsYip, expect frame-by-frame analysis by experts...like me..... Â Â But in all seriousness, is it possible that the guys at that level don't pay attention to these routine sections and one small twitch ends it all on a relatively simple straightaway?AG was lucky not to land on his bad ankle and to miss that rock.....he'll be back, I'm sure!

DieselnDust Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Well, in this case it's true. Not every surface is JUST tar or JUST rock or JUST pebbles. Little bits of detritus fall / form on top of the substrate, rock, etc etc and the rain washes them away. The soil gets damp and the loose stone on top sink in to the soil, giving a less squiggly surface than the loose stuff would have been in the dry. Moon dust clumps together to form a slightly better base for grip, until it doesn't.  Wet roots, though, are death-logs.   except in the case of the FW DH WC the rain was falling heavily and it was soaking wet and muddy, not a gentle sprinkle to settle the dust.Do youself a favour and buy a ticket to go and watch that race live next year. It'll give you a whole new appreciation for just how treacherous that course is in the dry and then when the afternoon rain comes through (and it will) see if you can walk up or down that course without slipping and banging yourself black and blue.(don't chicken out and use the cable cars)What you're talking about is more true for the less steep forest section of the course, and then still only for a limited time.
Duane_Bosch Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Yissie those 2 crashes of Bruni and Gwin were huge. Shows just how ridiculously fast they are going to get flicked like that. Â Gravity fueled motocross.

tinmug Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 @Meezo watch the first 10-15 minutes of the Men's Race 'Live' Feed on Red Bull TV, they show the replay of Bruni's off.Â
Capricorn Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Still haven't found a video of bruni's crash... Link please I posted the clip of it on my FB page, which is linked to a previous post in this thread, but i think the privacy settings were fudged, so external link fails. But goto 05:05 of the redbull replay.
Hairy Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 Damned ... he also got lucky! I posted the clip of it on my FB page, which is linked to a previous post in this thread, but i think the privacy settings were fudged, so external link fails. But goto 05:05 of the redbull replay.
Capricorn Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Damned ... he also got lucky!that first guy down in the replay, that slam of his in the mud section was sickening as well. The way his head smashed into the wall of the rut on the outside line... urgh. . Conditions ripe for spinal cord compression.
