To put into perspective how hard this mountain is and how insane the run is, here is a pic of part of the track. Most of the track is as steep as this, no joke. I couldn't even walk up it.
This is the steepest and hardest track on the world cup circuit and is 100x more difficult with mud.
Rob Warner was a WC DH racer for years, retired in 2004ish. Nigel Paige also raced world cup DH and is now the owner of Chain Reaction Cycles/ Nukeproof. Both know their **** and both were perfect for the best DH run in any race in the past 10 years.
The commentary made the run on tv. I wish everyone could have watched at LEAST the other top 10 riders to see just how amazing this run by Hart's run was.
DH is insane. I would never be able to even try it dry.XC is good enough for me in the MTB world.
Danny Hart's balls yeah... all 6 billion of them. I mean 10 seconds. That's ridiculous. I looked up the 2nd place guy he beat, Damien and he only beat 3rd by less than half a second!
I like the whimpering noises you can hear on the video linked above: and that's from someone brave enough to risk his neck riding that chute. DHers are nuts!
that was insane!! The commentary got me into the race and yelling for him to get it!! I love it
