Making It: How YT Industries and Aaron Gwin Changed the Game. Part One - the Rise of Gwin

[@willlucas1032]

PART 2! I NEED PART 2!

[@TommyHuynh]

Great video! Aaron Gwin is such a beast on the bike. Some people think that he's just "naturally fast", but he is a true professional and trains like a beast. I think he is the reason why a lot of people realize that it's not the bike it's the rider. Not to take anything away from all the times that he won with huge margins, or when he won without a chain. But to me the most impressive race he finished was at Leogang in 2014 where his rear tire blurped at the beginning of the race and he rode the whole way down on just the rim. He didn't win but he finished. Anyone else in their right mind would have stopped .... that's beast mode.

[@cup_and_cone]

Naturally fast = Rat Boy That'd be a better example than Gwin, who has structure and regimen.

[@MrHamncheez]

Don't think for a second that the Rat didn't train hard, smart, and have structure when he was on top.

[@kodycoggin]

Rumor has it, Rat is an undercover gym rat (no pun intended). He works super hard.

[@martin.B777]

Respect! Today in Lenzerheide AG showed again his sportsmanship and great attitude.

[@NNICKKK]

Stoked on this. That was a great watch, looking forward to more.

[@deesley90]

Can't wait for part 2...... good work guys.

[@doppler327]

Glaspell is right about the amount of young groms wanting to be like gwin after his 2011 season and Aaron's revival of the scene in the US because I became one of the young kids he inspired! Aaron was literally my hero when I was 11 and 12 or so. I got to meet Aaron in 2013 at the national championships in Angel Fire, He had just won the pro race and I had podiumed in my category as well, we got a picture together and I had about 1000 questions to ask him but before I could even get out 1 he was asking me how my run was and where I was from. I don't think I asked him a single thing, It was such a normal interaction I was almost baffled at how regular he was. I'm still racing and inspired by what Gwin has done for the sport and there are loads of people who race Pro GRT's on the west and east coast who could tell a similar story of motivation from Aaron.

Dirt, This was awesome... I'm hanging for Part 2.

[@scspur5262]

I remember in the early 2000s driving over 70 miles to the only place (gas station) I knew of to get copies of Dirt magazine. Damn I miss riding.

[@Pete_simons]

V-Nice. Looking forward to the rest!

[@nynomadfjc3907]

Gwin. Humble, Respected... MONSTER

[@ArcticPride1]

Had his AMA pro license and trained by none other than ET3's father. I'd like to see some more Pro MX'ers try DH

[@jvlienj]

Seach a good video, you need to do more of that dirt magazine with more riders more team more history about MTB

[@mogulhopper]

hurry up with the next episode guys

[@zanetaylor7]

Savage cliffhanger.

[@TheSubieFan]

with tomac as his trainer no wonder he did well.

[@cxmmxndev]

[@nicoloweiss6529]

[@justinshearer5029]

[@bimmer666]

???? Where is the rest of that video?

[@TheDirthound]

DH is serious business, pro or weekend warrior.

[@lookingfordiscovery]

John Tomac with today's bikes would destroy everyone ... maybe !! .?!?!

[@TwoGuysOneVan]

Just to clear something up YT...My series [Not Quite] Making it! launched just over 2 months back... So... I didn't copy the name from you...

[@justinalvarado7351]

um.... Shawn Palmer.... don't get me wrong I Love Aaron Gwin. I guess Shawn was too much of a bad boy

[@cup_and_cone]

Shaun definitely changed DH scene from skinsuits and Tioga disc wheels to motocross helmets and baggy clothes, which brought more popularity, but he didn't dominate like Gwin.

[@justinalvarado7351]

I agree. Aaron is a bad ass. Shaun was just who i grew up watching.

[@dinoXAs2]

I call him Gwyn yes i like dark souls

[@brianrichards782]

what happened in 2012?

[@cup_and_cone]

Contract dispute.

[@dahmess]

So it's all about 'Murica.. what a surprise..
