You said "they don't all ride world cups", I pointed out that they did. You said "they don't all ride world cups now" and I pointed out that they did. I'm being a pedant, isn't it obvious
I sometimes forget I am on STW.
For the Op (as you don't follow enduro)
Martin Maes is a junior and regularly beats the worlds best elite men in EWS. He picks up a DH rides it for a few days and wins Fort william juniors. Enters Sea Otter dual slalom and wins.
He is embarrassing Both Dan Atherton and Taylor Vernon on GT.
One of the most talented bicycle riders on the planet and he is still a teenager.

e's POV video. [/url]
He doesn't hit the big step up though, big jessie.
This'll be why I guess.
😯 Sheeeeeeeit
Gee's POV video.He doesn't hit the big step up though, big jessie.
Whoa, mental course.
euans2 - MemberWhen did Gee stop becoming an "A Lister"?
more of an A-hole lol
That is one utterly insane track. Big respect to anyone who rides that, regardless of whether I've heard of them or not.
Tickets are sold out. I'd love to take my lad if you want to sell yours?
Just to let you know.. Reece Wilson is only 19.. he's fairly local to me but he can ride well!
Colp - I have a friend who's no longer going, would you like me to ask them if they want to sell you ticket?
Yes please if they have 2, thanks
I've just looked at the red bull rampage there are quite a few riders there I've not heard of. That'll probably suck too...
I watched that Gee POV vid three times last night. That course is insane and it looks like they've made it a bit harder this year.
Maes just looks so natural on a bike. If he can cope with the monster jumps in this then i wouldn't put it past him to be right up there.
WRT Kye Forte and DH palmares- he only started racing DH a couple of years ago and in that time has won the BDS masters overall twice, national champs masters twice and had two masters world champs top 10s. This is on top of his stellar bmx career... One of the most exciting riders there imo.
😯This'll be why I guess.
Is Elbry on the list yet?
im with the dude here.
not the same without hart fairclough & co.
especially amazed hart isnt defending his crown from last year .
ill be watching it & im sure it will be a cracking event but no idea who half them are.
colp - I've sent them a message, i'll email you if they have the ticket/s still
Does anyone know if this is strictly pre paid tickets or can you get in if you just turn up at the gate? I'll gladly buy a car pass off someone if theres any going spare! Cheers, C
I'd like to know if you can turn up without the car and go and watch or do you have to have a ticket, is the event limited to the numbers on the hill?
Thanks harry
My mates working there over the weekend. unfortunatly the hardline has proved to be proper hard and there have been a few offs resulting in trips to hospital today . Some riders just broke bikes and looking at his FB posts I can see why
Nothing too serious I hope.

^^^^ Wonders if Adam will ever be able to have children after that "Landing"....... ooff!
I'm pretty sure he has balls of adamantium so I reckon he'll be grand.
Kye Forte; probably the best 360 tabletops in the history of cycling. The OP must be trolling.

Apart from Chase Hawk,Chris Doyle and BF.
Nah, way better than Doyle and Foster. Only Hawk and Inman are comparable.
The [url= http://digbmx.com/videos/bf-it-the-story-of-brian-foster ]Blue Falcon[/url] is beyond reproach

No love for Mike Aitken? Style for miles.

Praise Odin, that's mental.
Praise Odin, that's mental.
Wish I was going, it is badshit crazy. The run in to some of those jumps..........
That video Vital really gives a feel of how crazy the track is. I know he's rode it probably every week but Gee looks super smooth.
Wish I was going along too.
Bernard Kerry looking super smooth in every clip there.
Fair play those jumps must be difficult for so many cases, reckon they've got a team just sat at the bottom constantly building wheels? Seeing some of those cases and stacks it does make me wonder why I'm terrified of a 6 foot gap mind...
oh well that didn't work
🙁
What didn't?
I tried to post a video.
Just click on here instead...
🙂
Great to see them getting plenty of practice in beforehand, I did wonder how much of a preview the riders get....also interesting to see the pros get caught out the first time they hit big features!....not just me then. 😳
No love for Mike Aitken? Style for miles.
Yeh, style for miles; his tables are a bit wishy washy though. Not as good as his team mate's

It's proper nuts
oops already posted above
I'm guessing you can't watch it live anywhere ?
Which rider was it that came up short and went over the bars on that massive speed double?
That was brutal. I assume they are OK?
You would think it would be on Red Bull TV, but alas no. 🙁
Taylor Vernon was the rider who came up short. Snapped front wheel in half and his foot apparently!
From last year
