    Such a sick vid. I hadn't seen the part where Gwin came close to eating sh*t on Peaty's drop.

    I just checked the definition of Pinned. It referenced this video at 5:30 and also said review the word Puckered.

    It would be nice if the broadcast showed more of the track like this video does. Seems like the broadcast does a terrible job at showing the steeps and fast sections.

    Gwin has been dodging a few bullets last two races. How many more can he dodge?

    Is he dodging bullets? or is it that he has the skills and strength to pull it off? I think he's got both!

    Either way if its skill to dodge the bullet or luck to dodge the bullet either way it dodging bullets. Did he plan to slide rear tire into a crack in rock, nope, look at his reaction at end of race he knew he got away with one there and then nearly hitting a tree and doing all you can to miss it is likely not in the plan either. Even the best racer can only dodge so many bullets before he gets hit.

    "Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control." Days of Thunder :lol:

    Even though it was a movie Harry was right with that quote. It may not be the smoothest or prettiest line all the time, but when your racing at TOP world cup levels you have to be able to accept and take a certain amount of risk to have a good result. The man has a 75% world cup win ratio, he won 9 out of the last 12 events, I think he knows what has to be done to win.
