The controlled chaos these riders have over muddy rocks is sick. Idk how they steer and control the bike the way they do.

[@danieldd3846]

100%. Anyone that’s rode this track also know how steep it is in sections. These guys are truly gifted on two wheels.

[@thinkbig9578]

Rear Break allow you to corner better in then conditions

[@miatamx]

The trust and confidence of these riders on their knobbies are insane.

[@ArmorOfZeus]

You know a track is next level narly when a pack of world class riders look pedestrian on two wheels. That slam at the end was kinda horrific.

[@Fish_-ce6kk]

That, and the actual screaming in some parts of the video. And the hauling on the brakes to stop just before that second of the two drops. Crazy.

[@21armyn]

the arm and core strength of these athletes are just insane!!

[@matthewoneill5354]

This is by far the best channel for seeing the key parts of track and what lines folk are taking. By far the best footage of practice anywhere!!!! Also really makes you realise how difficult it is. A lot of the details you get from these vids are missed out on the coverage of the finals. Thanks...👍

[@olik136]

3:36 the rag on the belt to clean your grips when you eventually fall into the mud.. is a motocross trick I haven't seen for a long time :)

[@NextLevelRiding]

That is some unbelievable mountain biking! Wow! This is next level balance!! The agility, reaction times and strength of those riders is incredible. Great footage John. A little part of me is worried for those riders though. Holy smokes.

[@saxifrage8124]

At 8:00 When he say "I'm gone to stop montain biking. It's too mutch ! It's shit !" It's just hilarious.

[@Austintron]

Not the coverage we deserve but the coverage we need. Thank you.

[@stewartdoherty4037]

superbruni and minnar almost taken out... those are bad arse off cambery roots right there. so much talent and commitment on display here

[@pierroleloup91]

7:55, Bruni « i stop biking, I’m pissed off, it’s shitty !!! »

[@JustJake77]

Finn looks on good form.

[@marauder7412]

Agreed and so does Loris

[@diogosilva4622]

track looking minttttt

[@eric9432]

I have rode at the shoe in this nasty wet weather before and makes it even more amazing seeing how these guys can down the mountain the way they do. Absolutely incredible

[@podge1549]

This is absolute madness, amazing to watch, thanks!

[@4KMTBRider]

Just making it down to the bottom of this track would be a win in itself 😧

[@walterbrown6388]

Loving the early morning clips of riders coming at you through the fog. Great stuff.

[@pauljellybeanjones5740]

John that was the best bit of technical riding/filming yet super tough ! Thanks mucker 🙏

[@danharvey3096]

That is just ridiculous.. All of it, the mud, the rocks, the mist, the insane level of skill to stay upright over all of that while riding at speed.. Its brutal! The only winner is going to be the last rider standing.. ;)

[@ruckusflow]

Top footage as always from Lawler, that's a brutal track and no mistake!

[@discmotoslots]

brutal rocks. that last one was gnarly!

[@jt_mtb9186]

I love watching DH laps but I cannot describe how much I hate the whistles

[@danharvey3096]

They're for the riders benefit, not ours.. It's a safety thing. When all the riders are on the track all at once, practicing different sections, stopping, getting familiar with their lines, falling over more because its practice, working out what speed they can hit stuff, & if they can do different lines than planned from track walk day.. Without the whistles the riders would crash into each other & probably literally die at some points.. Complaining about the whistles is like complaining about walking with the pedestrian lights & complaining about the beeping noise when its time to walk. The beeping noise is for the blind who cant see the green man on the lights. In the same note, the riders cant see other riders around blind corners or blind drops at speed. Hence the whistles..

[@johncast9565]

2:41 has the best brakes out there!

[@kenai_the_asian8106]

they look like trickstuff, theyre pretty cheap, just 1200 usd lol

[@danharvey3096]

I actually have to agree there that is some pretty epic stopping power.. I wonder if they're Maguras maybe ;) Though i hear Formula are pretty sick too, but i cant comment on Formula myself .. But Loic Bruni rides Magura MT7s for 5 years at least now, as does Danny McCaskill, so they must be alright ;) .. I have Magura MT5s & theyre amazing for the price, awesome stopping power & also modulation. Not the best levers (You can upgrade them) but the callipers are very similar to MT7s. They're a total steal for the $250 nzd i paid front & rear incl delivery UK-NZ from Merlin cycles. I honestly cant recommend them enough, & I always support riders who use them haha! If brakes are like phones then i feel Saint is Samsung/equivalent & Sram is Apple. Magura is a boutique Android phone brand that's actually better but also cheaper..

[@kenai_the_asian8106]

@@danharvey3096 u can see theyre trickstuff cause the brake top is orange

[@ryanj9245]

If loris can keep it upright he will take this one, although I would like to see Greenland take one this year.

[@quitemountainous2528]

Amazing video, cheers John, much appreciated 👍🏼

[@aidansontag6603]

Finally, World Cup guys get to see the REAL American East Coast riding. Have fun in the slop!

[@ringwearvinyl]

Best coverage anywhere 👏

[@_3.time_]

So gnarly! Those flat turns look death ☠️ good to see the Atherton boys going strong 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@craigivison2951]

Ridiculous ! Great footage as always. Would love to make it there sometime

[@borrowedbikejoe5121]

Watch out for Laurie. His gonna take this one.

[@llamatoots7699]

[@yattaran1484]

Wish every riders safe !.🙏

[@islandaerial3414]

Looks like a Cush Core course! 😅

[@_Michael_James]

Я тоже когда-то занимался данхелям! Смотрю, ничего не поменялось, я лучший!

[@jeffgoatley441]

Yes!!!!!

[@arf138]

"take the day off? wait for the weather to clear out?" .. "NAH.. WE GON JUST F@CK SHIT UP FOR ..... REASONS... "

[@marauder7412]

Peanut butter and jelly is delicious. Peanut butter and rocks, not so much.

[@TheGurnzilla]

It's amazing watching the riders fight for traction across that off-camber rock garden. True skill in action!

[@jptothetree]

Watching them send it in oil slick peanut butter is just mental.

[@enduromtb9587]

Rad!

[@stirfrybry1]

Proper course! The rock gardens are nasty good! Best skills required. East coast riding at its best

[@jeremiemcclean1635]

Jackson not putting a knob out of place out there..sheesh 😳

[@nilsnilsnilsify]

Dear Lord that looks sketchy. Greenland looking good though, so is Finn!

[@JB50713]

Punishing course!

[@bhew7409]

[@brockellis1022]

Wyn Masters roll off's naaa rag in the pocket

[@ejej6934]

[@gweflj]

[@dubosjc]

What tires are they running! Oh boy

[@Tehasce]

[@bumbalaridesmtb4910]

It's going to be a very interesting race to watch, the rocks are too tricky. Might be interesting results :)

[@tolgaakyay]

Send it!

[@ImDownGetMe]

2:42 what sets of brakes he using? lol

[@kenai_the_asian8106]

trickstuff, theyre sick but cost 1200 usd and idk if u can get them in america rn

[@michael_the_chef]

I am running trickstuff rotors with shimano sintered pads and shimano zee calipers, brake power is crazy!

[@krneki1070]

What is Luic Bruni saying about mechanic? :)

[@guillaumegirard3601]

He said « j’arrête le vélo, ça m’a gaver c’est de la merde » wich basically mean « I m gonna stop riding bike, it pisses me off, it’s shit »

[@Tehasce]

[@kenai_the_asian8106]
