I don't know if any of you watched the World Cup DH this morning, but Aaron Gwin flatted about 100 meters out of the the start gate and still pretty much rode the very rough track faster than any of us could have by far.

Maybe... I've seen worse that weren't ridden jumped on a world cup track with no tire.  DT Swiss is probably loving this.

The guy sure gave the fans a good show.

I'll tell you what. I'll race him on my rigid SS down that course.

Him on rims.

Who you think'll win?

'cause if I hit a couple of those things he gingerly waltz over, even with good tires, I'm going to go completely airborne, upside down, land on my head and am probably going to need the ambulance. How's that for some entertainment?

Shearing the shaft member after a hard ride is acceptable in my book.

Haha, that's awesome.  that's one of those things I've always wanted to try just to see if it was possible.  Apparently, if you're good enough, you can still manage a good bit of speed.
