I think some of the antics crossed the line at triple treat, there is lighthearted humour and there is downright stupidity.You guys all suck. Too much s#!t talk, not enough about the fun that was had or the atmospehere.
The weekend was amazing. Crowds were incredible. EVERYBODY HAD A BLAST, including all the riders. That has to count for something right?
Ill give you a brief rundown of some antics where i was standing at tripple treat:
Copius amounts of Beer.
Fireworks.
Spraying beer on the scout rider (canberra local) as he came past.
An airhorn so loud officials stopped them from using it.
Frisbees crowd to crowd across between riders (including jonniers run).
Epic esky's (check litter).
Douchebag marshall stopping the fun and subsequently getting 3 cans of beer thrown in his face.
Beer runs across the track in between riders.
Cowboy line dancing contests waiting for riding to come.
Some of the most intense cheering you have ever witnessed.
Watch the freecaster vids (turn the sound off first uurgh) and see what a great weekend was had. You wish you were here!
You sure you guys did not overdub in the crowd horns and cheering?By the sounds of it nobody wants to watch anymore, but here's our vid anyway

nope, but slovak fans will come...Can they be shipped over to Schladming?
Nah, no dubbing needed, apparently they really were nuts.You sure you guys did not overdub in the crowd horns and cheering?
Praise to the aussie fans. Can they be shipped over to Schladming?
I see all three riders in the above pics are running their brakes motostyle. what do you think the percentage is that run them that way? Also is it because of the motorcycle configuration, or is it a Euro thing?
Greg Minnaar runs moto from his years of riding moto x before downhill. over here in South Africa, some of us run moto and others run front brake on the left.Its a rest of the world thing! I think the US may be the only country who runs them the wrong way round?
Nah, no dubbing needed, apparently they really were nuts.
The guy in the middle is a genius
:huh: I suppose you can vouch for that that the Oz fans cannot be shipped over...???nope, but slovak fans will come...
I thought the track looked pretty decent myself, but the way it was shot with one camera for most of the course was pretty bad, alot of the more interesting terrain seemed to be out of shot because the camera was so low, looking up the hill and everyone looked slow because they were so far away.Just got back from my own racing and skipped over the last few pages.
Pack of whingers.
The track looked wicked fun. Obviously the last bit would have tested the fitness of the riders, but the track itself looked well flowy and awesome fun. The crowd really got into it, but then again, they are Aussies.
Good to see a different set of faces on the podium.
Nah, no dubbing needed, apparently they really were nuts.
Is it me or does it look like the old guy in the white poncho is enjoying the race a little too much
ouch!Where was Tracey Hannah on her home turf?
Did she have marketing class that day?
Are you a fan of the skinsuit then :huh:rachel Atherton gets my lthumbsdown: for that dig at Tracey on the podium
Rachel did the same thing last time Tracy beat her (Ft William). There is no rule that says no skinsuit (such as BMX has). Deal with it. If you select fashion over utility and get beat, it's your own damn fault/choice.Are you a fan of the skinsuit then :huh:
Agreed. While they are an awesome family of riders, it has become apparent that they are sore losers and not very gracious winners.It seems to me that the athertons are picking up a somewhat bad image due to their behavior in the pits, starting with gee at the worlds and now rachel, its all in the heat of the moment but still not a good way to behave...
