kinda wish minar would stop winging, sure its a hard track but learn to ride it. If you want smooth go do runs of the 4x track. Wyn and brcye seem like new bum buddies tho.
You 3 idiots need to change your pampers, show some respect for the top world cup guys, they have years of experience to know what works and what doesn’t at race speed.
minar again moaning hes like an old man, seriously a track being to hard its a WC it should be. might see peaty having a few problems up top again then for this race show some respect ? there the top guys and there moaning about a track being to hard.
I’d have more time for his complaints if he hadn’t been moaning about Fort William being dangerous too. Oh well, at least they managed to get through a whole video without mentioning the carbon V10
Oh yes you guys know well enough what Minnaar should whine about. You don’t like the attitude right? Watch some Tv-market if you want happy faces, should suit you right.
at the same time WC guys: welcome to Leogang, welcome to Brake Bump Mountain
I totally agree with you Ceephax Acid, The top pros don’t want to be slowing down for drops and shit, they want to flat out all the way. If a track flows it flows, if it doesnt, then it needs work!
If DIRT want their opinion then why should they not be honest about what they like and dont like. The better the track the better the action is for us and the sport. Dont ever complain about anything you ride if you have that attitude and you might as well go watch something else…
Question. Are the pro’s winging beacause the track is to hard on the body or on the bike(read carbon rims)?
Any idea why Greg Minnaar finished 3tht in Fort Will?
Good vid, interesting points of discussion, will be interesting to see how the track actually rides.
I just wish this damn website wouldn’t take you to a frickin’ advert every time you click on the background to scroll down! At least give us a clue by using changing the mouse cursor!
i guess that they find that track too dangerous.. if it is possible to hit a steep section with like warp speed you can crash very hard.. and that guys will have to hit it like this to win…
To be honest we all know that when a track starts to get big holes at a race it becomes much more dangerous to ride, not because its rough but the chance of getting bucked or stuck in a hole. So imagine what these guys thinking when they are seeing these holes which sound like they are the size of the holes you would expect to see right at the end of a world cup
I dont think its only about the holes. Its rough but the main problem is that where you have no place to slow down in a section (as they mentioned ) you will have to slow down before it and therefore loose flow and make it less spectator friendly. Also at race pressure some guys might go all out and seriously hurt themselves. Some tracks are dangerous because they are hard but there are also dangerous only because of silly features. For a regular rider leogang dh track imho would be much less dangerous than for anyone going at WC speed.
I hope they make a new track for the 2011 WC. Its a great opportunity for them to market a new track and the current one is quite old and a new one wouldnt hurt leo. Id gladly visit that place again. if they build something new.
