holy friggen sweet! That's some sick muddy slidy action

I'm going to start off the armchair quarterbacking by saying this (I'm probably interpreting it wrong though): in Beaumont's section, it looks like the rear suspension totally locks out when he's on the brakes.... It could just be that the terrain was really smooth there, or that his weight wasn't on the pedals, but it seems like a good illustration of brake jack (or is that squat?)...

Cool vid, did you see the huge pile of Ming that fell off Stevie Smiths bike?!

 

[fluider]

Beaumont locked the rear brake. But if you carefully look at beginning of his slide at 2:05 and later, you can see that suspension is working.

those guys are going so slow in that video.

 

[Gridds]

Yeha what the hell is with the extreme slow mo....


...The entire way through that video?


Good tune though

I didn't realize Gee had gone to flats for that race. I wonder if Minnaar did too.

I'm not much of a cameraman, DirtTV and MTBcut do the full speed stuff way better - you would have felt sick looking anything in normal speed with my un-steadyhand®.

Pascal doubling that section It was so steep, and tres, tres slippery.

Spagnolo, feet up, clipped in, smooth.

Agreed, whatever format vital uses 90% of their videos are blocked at my work too.

He did for practice, but I thought he moved to clips for the finals?

He's always run his levers like that. Also, he apparently didn't get the low-rise memo.

$hit sticky sicky

from the photos i've got, he kept on the flats for the race too. Pretty sure he talked about it in a post-race interview on Dirt or Vital

Well, he's a heretic then. He must be burned at the stake for choosing the most appropriate tool for the job.
