that snow wasnt, he must of hit it pretty hard to make it splashhe looked like a rag doll at the end. thankfully snow is soft and cuddly
Nope, he isnt human, he's an Australian! Tough as an old boot, tough as nails :biggrin:Sam go boom! Best angle so far. Still can't fathom how he was just over 5 sec. off the pace after that...let alone get back up and finish. He's definitely not human.
If one good thing comes out of that crash, I hope it's seeing less riders give up after a minor bobble. To see a guy take a smash like that and get back into a run like it was a minor set back makes me embarrassed for anytime I took a hit and rolled out the rest of my run.plus when he falls, he doesnt cry and run around waving his hands in the air yelling, I crashed, I crashed, look at me I crashed. Nope, he just gets back on with it, the way it should be
I don't care what you say, that's how I handle it when I go down. Hell, I even have some bottle rockets and marine flares I use to make sure people know I got worked.plus when he falls, he doesnt cry and run around waving his hands in the air yelling, I crashed, I crashed, look at me I crashed
We just got finished with the 3rd round of the world cups, I felt really good all week and qualified 1st with a very mellow run so i was confident going into the finals today. Unfortunatly I had a big crash during my run, I was 1.8 seconds faster at the first split which was only 45 seconds into the course so I was definatly on a good run. I just went off a drop a little too fast and pushed down to stay lower, I ended up landing on my front wheel a bit heavy and went over the front end. It was probably one of the biggest crashes I have ever had and I am lucky to have been able to get back up. When i was crashing I was headed right into a huge rock which I somehow missed, then missed a big stump and landed in a snow bank. I bent my bars, pushed my front brake lever up and got snow which covered most of my goggle vision and that sucked for the rest of my run, I was still trying to push it the rest of the way down. I was just trying to salvage as many points for the championship as I could. I ended up in 31st position only 5.5 seconds off 1st. It is nice knowing I have the speed to win, I just need to keep it together next time. There are still 5 races to go and a lot can happen between now and then so I am staying positive and will keep riding as fast as I can.
Brendan had a solid result today with 7th place, he was not feeling too good during practice so it's cool he put down a good run in the finals. I am now 5th overall and Bren is 7th so we got pushed back a little but will be on the hunt in Ft William.
Who gives a ****, he crashed hard because he can't just win he has to try and destroy people. Peaty became an even bigger legend this past weekend, stop focusing on the fact that Sam can't stay upright.
come on....Hopefully Sam's not becoming the Bodie Miller of the bike world, you know, more talented and faster than everybody else but with a penchant to explode in pressure situations? Don't get me wrong, Sam and Gee are my favorite riders to watch and I hope Sam goes on to prove me wrong, but it does seem like he kinda rides with a chip on his shoulder some times and it has cost him a couple races, but maybe it's just bad luck. of course, i'd pay a million dollars to be able to ride like him so what do I know.
Taller, older, and more bald.But how does Vouilloz compare?
Just going to throw it out there, these boys are only at the top because they can crash super hard and get away lightly or atleast not let the injury worry them.Sam go boom! Best angle so far. Still can't fathom how he was just over 5 sec. off the pace after that...let alone get back up and finish. He's definitely not human.
i thought nico v. (i won't attempt to spell it) is pretty short? sam hill is shorter?Taller, older, and more bald.
Grow up dude, you're just plain lame. You're an old man who talks **** on the internet, you've never once said anything to my face. I have no problem with you but you continue to be a moron, I haven't whined about my "little baby crash" I raced and didn't do all that bad for not being able to pedal. The next day I couldn't move my leg and went to the doctor to get it checked out. They thought that I fractured a vertabrae, most have been a little baby crash huh? Turns out I bruised 2 bones and tore some muscles in my lower back, great big deal I'm racing this weekend. Get over yourself and shut your mouth or say it to my face.
You better hope pterodyctl does not participate in the crash off.I'll beat sam hill in a crash-off.
Yeah. I'm sure that's the ONLY reason they are the best in the world. I'm sure that if we all wore sumo suits, we'd all be up there with the rest of them too since we'd be able to crash super hard and get away lightly.Just going to throw it out there, these boys are only at the top because they can crash super hard and get away lightly or atleast not let the injury worry them.

You're not one to talk... It's obvious your brother got all the good-looking genes.george, i wont talk to you because i think you are ugly

And yes I'm just in a pissy mood since I'm not going to be drinking Labatts at the finish line either.
