    Aaron Gwin is insane on a bike.

    A lot of you have probably seen this but dang, this dude is ridiculously fast.

    Too funny. I just sent this video to a bunch of buddies before opening TGR and seeing this thread.

    It's one of the best videos I've seen for giving a taste of how fast and smooth these guys are.
    The rest of us truly are mere mortals.

    I'm always amazed how stiff his suspension is. Guess it needs to be too ride at that speed but holy shit that bike would toss me in a second. Guy is crazy strong.
    I wear crocs for the style, not the comfort.

    Saw him race up in Port Angeles this weekend in the NW cup. Honestly he didn't look as fast as a lot of the other guys, but then you see the times and he's in a different league. He just looks so smooth and composed on the bike, even in the most rugged of sections.
