Shooting/edit-wise, this is the best that VitalRAW has ever been. I love the new slomo bits too (just not too many, ok?) So lucky to watch this free content. Well done @steelcitymedia and @creativeconcept

Nope. Peaty is the greatest human to ride a DH bike ever. And by human, I mean the guy who has been at the pinnacle of the sport his whole life, all while partying harder than any other rider to date and yet at the same time being responsible for mentoring almost 2 full generations of riders and racers, fundraising, filming, and last but not least promoting the sport itself through events, sponsorships, started grassroots teams...you name it.

Anything you can do FOR the sport of downhill, he's done it.

GM has the race wins total, but Peaty is knighted.

That's just like, your opinion, man...

When all is said and done, Gwin most likely will be the GOAT.
Legend, or Greatest Ambassador, sure.

Gwin as ambassador, legend? Lay of the kool-aid buddy, except winning he's done slim to none for the sport itself.

"Legend, or Greatest Ambassador, sure" was in reference to Peaty. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
To me, Greatest of all time is based on results. The point of the whole thing is to be the fastest down the hill, right?
Gwin has already matched him for WC wins, in WAAAY shorter a careeer, In his prime, Peaty was not winning as prolifically as Gwin.
No one has even mentioned NIco and his run of World Championships.
As far as drinking Kool-Aid...that might be the pot calling the kettle black.
