This track is INSANE! Never seen so many riders absolutely puzzled where to go on most sections. Should come down to luck and a few ballsy moves come race day.
thanks a lot to @VITAL RAW for always showing the real level of the tracks and performance of the downhillers, I learned a lot watching the videos grateful... success to all of you, I'm from SANTA MARIA BRASIL
The level of bike control here is incredible (obviously.) The riders’ bodies follow basically a straight path down while their bikes and limbs eat everything. Blows my mind.
Loic still has the #12 plate? Even after missing those races? Also new respect for this track, hard to see the roots and rocks scattered everywhere in the POV vids!
1:33 - 2:35 - 3:48 - 5:05 Vali ...where is rachel now? 3:43 #18 looks like Rachel. I stand corrected... Rachel is #44 😃 1:06 Thank you again Vital MTB !
I think your referring to the photographer at 9:48 who had his bag hit, his bag was behind the tapped line so wasn't in anyways way, albeit not the best place in the world to put down a bag considering how many riders are struggling with that turn ahah
@@shdw_co Yup, looked like it was inside the course; regardless it’s like you said, riders were still dialing the right lines, please give them all the room/space they need 👍🏻
@@wallyr.7854 oh 100% I was recently shooting at a National Cup in Les Arcs and unless your bag is 20ft away it wasn't safe ahha, some riders get loose goosey and god knows where they will end up ahha
Why do they blow whistles? czcams.com/video/kHRJJ5amK70/video.html
rolling 🧀 on this one for sure
To keep the wolves at bay! Toot.
Bernard showing everyone how it's done with that beast of a whip 😍
Magnum

Love that “Move your bag please” tire tap intro
Yeah and what made it better was its jimbo 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for this John
10:17 love how this track has a mandatory shralp zone 😂

Ronan Dunne 11:39 mint !
what a track...I love the new sections. Loic is all business doing runs on different bikes.
Can't wait to see how qualifying goes tomorrow.
YESSSSS
New top section looks rad.
13:27 AP's bike control at speed is otherworldly
What an awesome course

those guys blow my mind!!
Lol was that grandad at 10:04? 😂 He's been giving those shoulders an awful hard time lately!
Adam Brayton doing the most Adam Brayton thing possible... catching up to a top 10 rider, crashing into a tree, and then shrugging it off
7:17 new specialized:
no pullrods anymore,
horst link,
upper link seems to be mounted inside the shock tunneled seattube
Hahaha love they captured Laurie talking his way down the track preview
+1 for the sawyer following up with a karate kick.
I always wondered how loud the riders talked when doing the track preview POVs. Seeing Laurie, now I know. 😂
Buckwild! 🤩
6:19 loic looking fast
Rachel 👑
Nice to see Brendog on the thumb
it's bernard kerr (but brendog would be sick too! : )
Palazzari s got the best whip, hands down🤙
How many near OTBs at the top? Only a tiny fraction of riders greased it. Everyone else was on unicycles.
That rock field at the start gets smashed by some and hopped over by others. I wonder what the decision is based on. Hopping seems preferable
5:36 what's that noise ? Broken spoke ? Rock hitting the frame ?
1:33 - 2:35 - 3:48 - 5:05 Vali ...where is rachel now? 3:43 #18 looks like Rachel. I stand corrected... Rachel is #44 😃 1:06 Thank you again Vital MTB !
rachel is #44. she's right at the start in those first rocks and through off-camber (hauling!)
@@vitalmtb Thank you! I saw #44
Excuse me your backpack.."braaapppp!"
quite a lot of riders use mullet setup
What bike is that at 2:49?
Hey Jorge where's the B-zone?
You just need to see Rachel Atherton once in that new section to know she’s probably about to destroy the field all over again…
hasn't raced for years no training and showing some of the men how its done :D
new banshee at 7:38 ?
Yessir
Millie and Matt Walker looking spruce
Shteeeps
it's just me I miss the videos with a good heavy metal!?
Yes journalists, get rekt!
Come on people, don’t put any of your crap in between the tape 😡!
