Wowsers, just stumbled across this [url= http://mtbsocial.co.uk/home/the-aaron-gwin-meaning-of-speed ]video of Aaron Gwin[/url]! That man has some skills. Wish I could ride like that. Can't buy that sort of speed
Quite fast?
Cool video, does look almost speeded up at times!
I dunno - he looks pretty slow on some of that
Hope hubs 🙂

Marketing fail by shimano then, isn't the point of that video to sell you the new saint because clearly it'll make us all that fast 😛
Who was it that said (words to this effect, racing driver I think?) that everyone can go fast arround a corner, 100% on the limit, it's the ability to do it perfectly at 99% of the limit, on every corner, on every lap that wins races.
There's plenty of people who could star in that video, and do it just as 'fast', what marks out the racers is their ability to probably do that track repeatedly at the same pace, whereas others would take an entire day to get enough shots of enough corners to make it look like they rode the track that quickly. Bit like the freeride/dirt jump sections in videos, it looks effortless and easy, because if they showed the unedited footage it'd be 2 days of crashes and dodgy landings.

Does it???! You must be Berrecloth and I claim my prize.

Does it look like Bearcloth is trying hard?
I would say he is very fast, really nicely shot video as well.
Great little edit that. Thanks for the link.

You ever even been to an NPS race?
There is a HUGE difference in speed between the top Elite riders and everyone else even down some of the straight rocky sections.
Good video, he's certainly got bike skills.
Lucky bugger he gets to ride bikes all day, everyday apart from when he doesn't want to.
Bet I'm faster than him at using Indesign that is.
I just can't stop watching it! Cracking sound track too
stupid sped up slowed down videoing! i have no idea how fast he is as the damn thing never showed him in real time.
pet hate.
