Boy this kid can ride a bike,Brilliant win Jackson absloutely awesome dude!!!Superb racing from the elite men.Thank You Guys!!

[@jg2408]

Crazy to think about Jackson improving significantly, but he will. Once he matures physically he's going to be something we've never seen before. The kid is special.

[@timster99uk]

agreed, he's hugely talented, just bounces off everything

[@doesnotknowwheretopuit]

Papa Minaar carrying him at the end though. 😂 Awesome race!

Incredible the level of this guys!!! Congrats Jackson

It really was only a matter of when it would happen with this phenom… but to smash the field on this monster of a track just cements that the Jacko era has officially begun. I’m here for that ride!

What a place to do it right! Especially after his handlebar incident last year!

Jack and Jordan era definitely, I can see some close times over the next few years between the two.

[@fillfreakin2245]

@@AJR-gg It's going to be a great rivalry to watch. I think Jordan is always a threat to win, but he isn't as consistent as Jackson is. For now - that could change.

[@arrkana8387]

@@AJR-gg truth, *taps wood* if both stay healthy for their respective careers we’ll be witnessing one of the greatest head to head battles in sports, ie Ronaldo v Messi (then you add Bruni, Iles, the French fleet along with 5 other riders capable of multi WC wins…) what a time to be alive!

Where were these great bikes and courses in the early 90's? Very cool to watch. This kind of track would've been great for me and my MX XC experience but the bikes couldn't handle it. Keep it coming.

Nicely done Jackson! Flying on some Fillmore Valves!

[@EthanIzeta]

This is the one race I thought he didn't have a strong case for because of how physical it is, Jackson yet again surprising everyone.

[@lamefart]

So winning Redbull Hardline wasn't physical enough for you?😆 Nobody was as surprised as you. He's literally the number 1 choice to win in the Pink Bike poll and by a massive margin.

[@EthanIzeta]

@@lamefart I wouldn't say pinkbike poll is what the expert things it's mostly teenagers voting and Jackson Goldstone is very loved and has lots of fans of which I am one. Hardline is a 2:30 min race with lots of massive jumps with smooth landings and berms, val di sole is a 3:30 min race with lots of chunck and barely any man made wooden drop or jump it's much more physical. No need to come at me like that either I just commented what I though and I didn't even say anything bad, as fast of a rider as he is I thought this wasn't the race suited to him that's why he surprised me.

[@Bozza36]

He is a bit like Troy Brosnan, their weight allows them to float over things heavier guys can't. Tracks like this suit their physiology.

[@lamefart]

​​@@EthanIzetaI based my statements off of your own. You said surprising everyone, so I said about the poll then you refute it by reducing the poll to teenagers' vote and not the experts based on your reply. So I guess you're an expert then. Sorry you know everything and we're clueless. Hardline resulted to blown ankles. It's not a Fest Series jump track. It's a proper downhill track with massive drops, tech, gaps, and massive jumps. It's the most challenging as what the racers said. For an expert, you sounded misinformed if you just thought about comparing track times without considering other factors. It's like there's no smooth lines in VDS. No jumps. Heck there's even an uphill part. A bridge where you can take off your hands from the handlebar. 😆

Amazing run. I always thought it was preferable to be heavier in DH! But at only 65 kg, JG is bossing it!!! Many more wins to come, am sure!

[@DavidFoundCo]

I think fast twitch muscles/reflexes come first

[@falk.r.h8963]

i think beeing light can help on a track like this because its so rough that you can more easily float over the compressions

[@TrailAtlas]

He really put the power down in those two final corners. That must take serious balls after what happened last year.

[@tartiflette3830]

Bravo Thibault !

[@CalgaryDynastar]

The racing has been something else so far this season and we’re only 3 races in!

[@justzachandkaitlan]

What a result for the young fella! And how about the drone pilot, back to back runs!

Really exciting racing, but have to question why you would have Loic's run in this package over say Troy's?? Still very enjoyable.

Wow we all knew that Jackson and Finn were special Stevie Smith would be so proud of them and as I am from the UK well done to your boy BK and Danny heart specially BK had a decent crash this weekend so sick to see. them both in the top 10 any news on Charlie Hatton he had a big big crash in semi finals

[@manabiker]

It was only a matter of time, Jackson is AMAZING,, that screaming anouncer is the most eratating anouncer ever,, I miss RED BULL TV even more now..

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

Why does Rick Mclaughlin kept thinking people can make back 3 seconds of time on the last 300m of track, where everyone is basically going the same speed as each other cos it's a motorway?

[@gmbnracing]

Not quite 3 seconds, but if your exit speed from that last corner is mid 50's, someone who exits at early 60kph will carry (and gain) more speed over that long section of track - so there's probably at least a second to be won or lost, nail the corners, gearing and timing and there's the rest.

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

@@gmbnracing Ok, lets do the Maths. 300m at 60kph takes 18 seconds. 300m at 50kph takes 21.6 seconds. So according to Mr Mclaughlin's theory of commentary, it is doable, but no one was riding even close to 10kph faster than everyone else on that last stretch, maybe 1-2kph max which is going to gain you some time, but nowhere near enough to make up that sort of deficit.

I've heard that suspension tuners often set a baseline by getting the forks stiff enough that the rider is not afraid of going over the bars, then build from there. It appears that Finn Iles is NOT afraid of going over the bars...ever...

So far, every race this season, I find that I can only watch a few downhill runs with the sound on but then I end up having to mute it. Obviously, everyone is different, but for me, the commentary actually gets fatiguing. I don't hate watching it without the sound but I wish I didn't feel like I needed to.
