Elliot seems like such a joy to be around! Such a sick dude and does amazing things for the community!

Good to see Asa Vermette in here. He and Ali Ostgaard are going to be the next big stuff in downhill.

mechenic asking pro riders about their bikes and throwing them off opening with the GOAT questions is pure gold, great stuff Quinney 👍👍

Henry is working so hard. Everywhere I look on pinkbike I just see him. Someone bring Levy back to give the man a break

Excellent job, Henry 🤙

How soon we forget about Anne Caroline? Not taking away from Rachel's accomplishments, but AC was the default GOAT.

All time is quite a staple, i agree with Minaar, but what about John Tomac... i meen... yeh Tomac!

Is it just me, or did the Trek seat tube at 24 sec look like it has a huge crack?

please make sure no one misunderstands, norco has a low pivot alloy aurum dh bike as well, that rides completely differently than the high pivot HSP carbon aurum. the crestline looks dope.

@TheDingopaul 11 ай бұрын

OK Sheldon 😂

@danharvey3096 11 ай бұрын

Yeah and Blenky would've ridden most of the Aurum generations, he rode for Norco for 6 years..

@Tazznbk 11 ай бұрын

They've also just revealed a new prototype DH bike.. Looks the goods, and nothing like the old gen Aurum, HSP, or Range.

oh Henry them glasses mate, you been there too long

@alanmartinezrodriguez884 11 ай бұрын

Can't believe nobody mentioned either Nicolas Vouilloz or Anne Caroline. Objectively (numbers), they are the two best DH riders of all time. Minaar and Rachel are close seconds though. Don't forget those legends guys!

@wonderwatch2239 11 ай бұрын

Guess they included personality, and results, it’s a personal choice 🤣🤣

@hobmarg 10 ай бұрын

Thought the same, also I am partial to Greg/Rachel because they are from the era that I have been watching WCDH, maybe the same for some of the racers on this video?

@louislienard 11 ай бұрын

Nicolas Vouilloz and Anne Caroline Chausson are the two goats for me.

Loam is actually mineral soil. It is found beneath the organic matter which is the top surface which is called duff.

Wow, anyone notice how just like todays SUV's, downhill mountain bikes are all starting to look the same? Weird

@nickthaskater 11 ай бұрын

They all look pretty different, actually.

@danharvey3096 11 ай бұрын

Actually they look alot different from each other than they used to.. Have a look at late 90s photos when different brands, like Giant, Haro, Foes, litterally just re-stickered the same Intense M1 frame.. While some methodologies might be similar, the differences in linkage & pivots is way more diverse than even just 10 years ago..

@@danharvey3096 you're wrong about Foes they made their own frames
