That rock definitely wasn't happy to have been disturbed by Keegan Wright.
Heal up soon!

We have never stopped doing one-a-day RAW...? Are you saying you would prefer less content from World Cups? You could always just not click the stuff you don't like?

WTF Bruni's bike again. I know he's mega but that thing looks like it has Play Doh tires.

Exactly what I was going to say! His suspension setup must be dialeddddd, super composed, stable, smooth. The wheels are glued to the ground. Insane

These are so much better than any other DH media out there. It's like being at the race. I know the six minute version is "more boring" than the shorter, more intense Vital RAW of the past, but getting to see rider after rider trying the same section gives a much more accurate representation of what downhill racing is. It's methodical, it's repetitive, it's intellectual, and yeah, it's kind of boring when you're watching trackside. Hell, it's actually kind of boring when you're racing. A lot of the time is spent sitting and waiting, or talking, or hiking. DOWNHILL FOREVER

@5:16, sounds like Gwin clipped the pole with the end of his handlebar.

Man I really hope we'll get race footage from that rock garden. Gonna be (even more) gnarly at race speeds.

Awesome footage as always! I'm really digging this track, at least from a viewer's standpoint. Does anyone else watch Connor Fearon and wonder if he would be even faster on a different bike? For the last 2-3 years I've always watched him ride and it just looks like the bike can't handle his riding style.

A lot of people think my bikes not working because the way that i ride, but i can assure you the bike is working properly. In my opinion- Its hard to compare my riding to how smooth greg, troy, loic and the rest are because I'm not clipped in. You have to ride the track in a completely different manner, look at Brendog as well. Also thats my natural style to ride loose its been that way since my first downhill bike 10 years ago... kona slay

Oh man. Keegan Wrights crash. And that boulder chased him down to boot. Ouch.

Greg nailed the rock garden and whoever followed his line had a better pace. Also, Loic and his ohlins suspension are looking smooth as butter!
