First Ever Backflip At A DH World Cup? // Snowshoe DH World Cup Day 2 //

[@vitalmtb]

FWIW, Nathan Rennie did a backflip at the World Cup Dual in Durango, 2003. When he was on Iron Horse.

[@JustJake77]

Yep

[@rualert1602]

Does this one count since it was in practice?

[@BenCathro]

I remember that from one of the old season vids. Was it Hypnosis? Anyone done one in DH before?

[@jayfreeride]

Ben Cathro - Didn’t Gracia do it?

[@Mitzkal]

You right! 2nd Gracia at Les Gets in 4X

[@daveaufradern6658]

your coverage is a big bonus to the regular footage and makes the worldcups even more interesting. Double thumbs up !

[@SkillsWithPhil]

That rock garden doesn't look like much, but there are so many little places to get thrown off your line. It doesn't help that it's almost always greasy through there and the rocks are really awkwardly spaced/placed.

[@digbysirchickentf2315]

It's entertaining, but no-one would choose to ride terrain like that in the real world. Seems like a waste for bike mfr's to evolve machines which aren't suited for riding real trails.

DigbySirChickenTF2 I’d ride stuff like that. They are making bikes progressively better and more capable so why would you want that to change? Just buy a hardtail or trail bike if you don’t want a DH... I certainly would never buy a DH...

Just keeps getting better, thanks! "You're in my shot!" "No you're in MY shot!!"

[@BenCathro]

For those just here for the flip it's at 1:40 As many have pointed out there HAVE been backflips at world cups in the past. Namely Nathan Rennie racing dual slalom in Durango and Cedric Gracia racing 4x in Les Gets. I'm sure there have been others as well. I've changed the title to make me look like slightly less of an idiot. Anyone know of any DH backflips world cups in the past?

[@jacobstangier7528]

Ben Cathro Does practice count? Brendog did one

[@adamrobens6640]

Cathro, mate, just wanted to say that your coverage has made this season for me. The races are much more interesting with that extra bit of insight. Your enthusiasm is a great bonus, and it’s cool to see the riders really responding to it. I hope you’re proud of what you have done for the sport.

[@jonnie2bad]

Hardest part of riding the shoe for me was staying off the brakes when it was moist. Funny thing is, it's almost always at least damp in the trees there. So that thin layer of mud on the rocks is gonna be there all weekend most likely. That mountain makes it's own weather due to the elevation. You get some type of precipitation almost daily in varying quantities. Most of it is pre-dawn mist that condenses on everything. Really enjoying watching these guys ride a mountain I'm familiar with finally. Shaping up to be a wild one for sure.

[@PedroPereira-tl6mr]

I have been watching your videos for a while now.... and in my mind when Rob Warner retires you are a really good replacement!

[@dukedoker8899]

Having ridden a lot at snowshoe over the last several years ,I'm just so impressed with the job they have done with help from Neko and Sean,to everyone involved,hats off for putting together a truly world class event,best of luck to all the riders, you have done us east coasters proud,Cheers!

[@edwoodcostin]

The new annotation stuff working really well on the line choice pieces. Well done again

@@BenCathro you know what, now that I think about it more... you are right it was not in DH! It was at the end of a 4X race(wish they still had those!) and it was a young Kyle Strait! here is a picture! (www.pinkbike.com/photo/246021/) and a bit better shot of the gap in this picture!

Tape the first jump so they have to hit it and scrub... why even have it so they can go off the side?!?!

fuck that, if a rider chooses to take the fast line, so be it. don't you dare tape that shit

[@ethandaly1818]

@@TheMykHyn bullshit its part of the course do u know how much time and effort goes into making a jump like that?

[@crush1221]

@@TheMykHyn It's a timed race, no one is going to elect to hit it and cost themselves time. Might as well have the track 4 feet to the side as is, just a tease. Tape it in so it's a feature and a challenge for the riders to stay low.

Do they let people ride these trails when there arent any races? I went to snowshoe a couple of months ago and I didn't see any of this lol.

The girl at 6:13 flopping her wrist around, I though she hurt it...

[@bobby5031]

Tahnee is one of the only girls that spread their legs out when riding and look natural like the boys. Even at 13:40 Myriam Nicole hugs the bike with her legs and can’t absorb things as well... (again at 14:16)

[@ghostofjakeblues]

That's a fascinating insight. You should get in touch with professional mountain biker and World Champion Myriam Nicole and share your advice. I gave Loic a few pointers last year, and look at him now. Anyway, I can't hang around to chat as I need to give Wyn Masters a wheelie lesson.

[@bobby5031]

ghostofjakeblues when did I ever say it didn’t work. But I’m sure once Tahnee gets her fitness and confidence back she’ll win everything. Also I guess you don’t ride, because the way she hugs the bike like that is not the correct technique.

[@hondacota4rt]

UCI back at screwing it up 👌

[@SkillsWithPhil]

The UCI officials in these situations usually have pretty valid reasons for making the changes they do. 1. The lippy jump at race speed could be insanely dangerous when riders are pushing hard out of the gate. 2. The second tape modification is out of the Wild Zone. The following section is ridiculously steep and once you drop in, you can't slow down. I suspect, the course builder opened up the inside to potentially allow riders to send it off the boulder into the the bank after which you can't slow down. While these changes are a bummer for spectators, they are most often are good for the riders. There's a fine line between acceptable, and too dangerous.

[@skyla-idiot]

Anyone else trying to find a time stamp for the backflip?
