Duane_Bosch Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Except he really was squatting with no right to be there as it turns out. Poor guy. Pity. If anyone wants to support the young lad his DH bike is for sale in the classifieds.....
Headshot Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Must say I didn't think much of the course. If i reckon I could ride down it even very slowly, then its too easy. Thee slopestyle was way more entertaining. Some real stand out performances and madness from Rogatkin as usual. Those guys really take it to the next level.
Hairy Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 Feels like forever till we see the racing at Andorra ... it will also be the first time this season that we see both the XCO and DH racing on the same weekend ... BONUS!

Odinson Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Referring to Mcmaster? what's the story? I'd also like to know.

Those guys really take it to the next level.slopestyle has reached the point where i think, that without slow-mo, more specifically ultra-slow-mo, we won't know wth a rider just did viewing in real-time. It will look crazy, we'll clap and high5 just because everyone else is. But we Joe&JanePublic won't appreciate the tricks.It's becoming very complicated to watch without the aid of video playback.
Duane_Bosch Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I'd also like to know. They screwed up his start time. something like that. Sounds a bit low tech. Don't the bikes have transponders now? or is that only WC races?

Don't the bikes have transponders now? or is that only WC races?Ya sounds like a local race. Basically his time was 30secs too fast. He apparently also thought it was wrong and said so while on the hot seat. They eventually worked out the error. i suspect some riders were on the list but dropped out and he maybe started his run in someone else's slot but finished as himself :-)

But we Joe&JanePublic won't appreciate the tricks.It's becoming very complicated to watch without the aid of video playback.They have ultra slow playback of every trick these days. Its amazing. I find you can see the trick is awesome in real time, like Godzieks twister suicide or whatever it was but the fine points come out in the slow mo. This one was probably the most hotly contested event I've ever seen
Duane_Bosch Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Chris Philogene 4th at this weekends IXS. Tayho binned it. Not sure where Ike ended up. That lightie is the real deal. Unfortunately his mech and driver had a crash of his own breaking his wrist. Good few Saffers living the privateer van life over there right now. IMO this is the only realistic way for a local to make it over there. The amount of fast guys making beds and cooking eggs in Morz to finance their dreams is astounding DuranTayhoPhilogeneIke KlaasenCasper JasperSharjah (spelling)

Duane_Bosch Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Absolutely!!That's terrible advice. My dreams invariably involve me falling off a cliff whilst semi naked waiting to write an exam that I didn't study for.
