    Unbelievable! How can you ride down a trail like that on a rim?! And how is that rim in one piece at the end?! Did you see it through the rock garden?!

    How the wheel kept rolling and didn't bind up is beyond me... I'm not sure if this is the best ad for DT Swiss, or the worst (why did the tire come off in the first place?). Regardless - this was a masterpiece of man and machine.

    The announcers were kind of dullards. Especially the one dude. They didn't even get excited until over halfway. Talking about four different, so and so one last time, etc. finally they started showing excitement, but come on. Lame announcers.

    That's because they expected Gwin to either pull off and not finish, or barely limp down the course, like anyone else who flats. They had already moved on. They didn't expect what they would see. And calling Rob Warner a lame announcer is like calling Chuck Norris a sissy.
