To be honest; with that wind, I’m surprised it’s running at all.

You can tell all the riders are nervous.

Gee’s got this in the bag

I suspect that as great as Gee’s run was, if the wind wasn’t so high, he probably wouldn’t be leading right now.

To ba fair, he’s the only person to land that hip to wall (I think). One bloke who tried snapped some bomber 888s!

Gully for the win in his 2nd run if he gets it

Yeah I realise that but if Zink had landed his 360 off the Icon drop then he would almost definitely be leading. Plus I wonder how much others are reigning in their tricks because of the wind.

I do think Gee deserves to be leading at the moment though.

I agree Jedi: His first run was definitely a highlight.

Now they are dissing short travel hardtails, for sale in flea markets 😆

Hopefully next they will dis singlespeeds and really cause an upset here.

Damn this is making me want to ride my bike: This is exactly the type of riding I like. Obviously nowhere near that level but the thought of putting your own line together to get down a hillside is where its at
Picking different line choices, technical lines, fast lines, steep lines etc, and putting it all together into one flowing trail.

Loving watching this. This type of riding is just a completely different level. It’s also making me want to buy a full sus even though I’ll never ride anything like this.

Some huge crashes, dunno how they walk away from them! And to think I saw a bit of the footy earlier and they were rolling around in “agony” after tripping over another player 😆

They were Fox 40s that snapped. What’s with ‘ifs’!!?? Gee’s run was smooth and fast and clean. That’s why he’s leading.

Zink 360 off the Oakley sender 😀

No freakin’ way!

thats a big 360!

Oh shit son! 🙂

That was a huge 360, almost looked like slow motion the rotation was so slow 😯

zink nailed it

eighty f***in nine! Awesome skills on that 360

He deserves to win for that trick alone.

i like gullavich ( sp) and that 360 by zink was mental and deserves first shame about kyle, just then.

andreau is mental too. shame he didn’t land the no hander flip.Liked Cedrics run too.

few teething problems at first but wasn’t that awesome!

Definitely betterer than x factor

Hm, not convinced he wasn’t going to make that if he didn’t bail..

zink! some skills there!

Props to the Claw

good to see Bender involved too.Shame Warner was not there!

Gee 2nd so smooooooth 🙂

I can assure you they were Marzicchi 888s.

i dont think he deserved it for the 360 alone at all. amazing trick but they should have just held the contest on that drop only if that was all that mattered. i feel bearclaws run was awesome and gullys was just stoopidly smooth as he always is.

i’d have put it
claw
gully
gee

Damn – missed the second run and sounds like I really did miss out.

so did zinc win?

i was too shagged and had to go to bed

yeah he did. 360 on the oakley drop

claws run was pure entertainment but there were a few dabs which would have marked him down.

cam should not have won with just one trick (mental tho it was) the rest of his run was nothing special.

i missed gees run but the highlights of it i saw were good. the gap to wall was bonkers. especially as 2 others came up short and he overjumped it!

gullys run was smooth but not inventive enough for the win i recon.

bloody glad i’m not a judge though.

who was doing hte massive table hip on the top of the ridge. that was amazing. not vanderham the other guy.

i was loving bourdons billy goat lines. insanely steep and tech.

Was that Aggassiz doing the table hip – looked mental!!!

To be honest Bearclaw’s run was my favourite, but he did dab in a few places, and it wasn’t quite as smooth as the others, which obviously marked him down.

Zink’s run was seriously smooth throughout, as well as being impressive with the 360.

Did anyone catch Elbry’s run? 😈

Bearclaws save at the start of his runn was the raddest thing I think I’ve ever seen. How he got back on I have no idea.

got a bit excited yesterday. really enjoyed the event.

I wanted to see bearclaw’s save from the other side to see exactly what went on

Innit! They could at least have had a guy with a camera filming from the top as they went off in addition to the chopper.

Disappointed I missed Gee’s run, the snippet in the final highlights looked amazing. Hope it gets on YouTube soon.
