Amazing by minaar, he was hardly on the ground at the top!

an awesome champion

Impressed graves managed to hold on to third on his trail bike.

Minnaars line into the off-camber rock garden was something else!

Greg credits his win to the pep talk he got from a slightly inebriated Scotsman at the start of the season

That was awesome.

…and Minaar only just got away with running single ply’s by the sounds of it.

double post

yep, only just is the difference between gold and silver
Talent, fitness, crowd & luck

and was that right that the bike weighed 31lb!!

32.something lb I think

still lighter than most of the 28lb bikes round here then 🙂

Great vid link too – top bloke

So after all that, 26″ is far from dead/being replaced even on a course like that. Impressive run on the custom 27.5 devinci but an even more impressive run on a SB-66, very impressive the frame could cope running a 180mm fork.

Thanks for the link I enjoyed that

yes you can watch it after the event

Sam hill face plant made me laugh,first time watched a race live,big up red bull !

Is Minaar trying to hide the label on his beer up there?

Only one thing you can say, really.

Lekker Gregy, Lekker.

Is Minaar trying to hide the label on his beer up there?

Ha, never noticed what it said on the label before!

If you get the chance have a look back at the Eliminator finals, it finally seems to be finding itself (or that course was a fluke) it was actually getting exciting with some contact 🙂 and yes that Ozzy is twice the size of everyone else, top bloke though his dad showed us round some of their local trails earlier in the year.
