Greatest Downhill Run Ever?

[Roxtar]

Gwin's chainless win?
Rockwell's Kamikaze?

Then I rewatched this for, oh, the hundredth time:



Hands down;
Best riding, best announcing

"How does Danny sit down with balls that big!!!"

Anyone have other choices?

Not sure it beats Danny, but Sam Hill at Champery is a classic.

Watching that now most of those guys look like they're on bikes two sizes too small and bars they borrowed off a commuter.

That's the one for me. Riding at the limit from top to bottom.

That's the one for me. Riding at the limit from top to bottom.

There was a lot of talk before the race about how the old school course would put the new breed at a disadvantage and then AP put on that cornering demonstration.

Also- Gwin at MSA in the rain, and his 8 second win at VDS.

Yeah, Danny's famous run sure is fun, but holy shit that Pierron run might be the best riding ever documented.

Id go with Sam at val di sol. I dont know if we'll ever see that type of raw speed again. 1:35-40 is insane. All of it actually but that section is unbelievable speed

Possibly the best non-winning run ever

[NW_SKIER]

And he was hardly wearing any protective gear. Crazy

[grinch]

Mustve watched yhat 40x by now. All of Sams teamates have lifted their game being with him, for good reason. Same for Stevie RIP. I think Brannigan has his best year to date with Stevie and his other teamate(name escapes me now, he retired yr or 2 later).A definite contenda of a run. Incredible precision on a slick rocky and rooty course. MSA is no joke. Still cant believe he was able to win ,after the weather came in on him, let alone by almost a second

Ha, I remember watching Roam and Seasons and laughing about Steve Peat’s kiddie bike.

Gwin's MSA run is up there for me, especially when put in context of the full race. It just didn't seem possible at that point for anyone to find that kind of time in those conditions. And how bout when he comes into the rock section in the woods and almost stalls out? I thought he was done there.

Danny Hart at Snowshoe last year?

That one may take the cake for me. Mostly because I was lucky enough to see it in person. It was so incredible to be at the finish line that day!

LOOK AT THE WHIP!

I’m here for that Amaury run. Some of the dopest riding I’ve ever seen. Taking that much time out of people on a dry course is just mental.
Gwin’s chainless run is close.

Wow, I’ve never watched DH. Pretty blown away!

Yeah that Amaury run was insane thanks for posting that one

Oh man. That was great. I miss movies like this. They tell a good story of the race.

I REALLY miss full length Alex Rankin movies

[SB]

Good stuff

[toast2266]

This is a good thread.

It was mentioned up above, but here's the video. Gwin chainless:

[joetron]

I watched all the posted videos last night...and I’ve concluded that they are all the greatest.
This thread rules.
I miss racing.

I put on Roam once when my kid was 6 or 7 (he's 10 now) and starting to turn into a solid little rider. The Whistler segment comes on and almost immediately he says, "Why are their bars so narrow?"

Wow, I’ve never watched DH. Pretty blown away!

There are few things better than going on a big ride early in the morning mid-summer, then parking your ass on the couch all afternoon watching World Cup DH while it's hot as balls outside.

It feels wrong saying this, but this thread needs more POV. It's like the footage has been sped up. Incomprehensible speed.
