im assuming they muted the video because of the horrendous wind noise you get when using a contour?

You know why he flies down ?, it is because hes sponsored by red bull "it gives you wings" Razz

charleyboy14 (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:56)

@Oli it's a Contour plus they could have plugged there own mic in

RaleighVoid (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:57)

haha oli funny, i was thinking the same Razz

- if he went and faster he may as well have hucked straight to the finish line!

Ruts are apearing everywhere, i think the tech on this track is harder than what it appers apart from at 1:02 whereas if you are of atherton breed however you just jump straight over. come on Gee!!

Contour (Aug 6, 2011 at 15:15)

There's no sound in the video because that's how the file was sent to me from La Bresse this morning. With or without sound, Gee is frickin' moving.

unbeleivable, i know theres a big difference between ridding a course to seeing it rode through the eye of a contour in the sence that its easier to see whats comming and what the grounds like but damn this vid deffo shows why gee is pretty much on the podiums all the time coz watching the vid i barely had time to see the ground in the corners and gee just rides them like they aint there at all,total respect for gee and all other riders at this level, awesome..

I think they muted the sound because by the looks of it you'd think Gee had a engine strapped to the bike

d4zd34n (Aug 8, 2011 at 8:21)

haha,yeah it would of sounded like f15 engines with the speed gee was hauling

let me guess! the wind nose was so bad from the contour they just turned the sound off?

mpathic (Aug 7, 2011 at 15:52)

As opposed to any other camera with an onboard mic when you're riding like the wind? You think other camera brands magically make wind noise disappear?

haha he´s hitting all of these big lines that are almost vertical with huge drops on slippery grass and he makes it look easy. Big Grin

Gee´s gonna win it!

RaleighVoid (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:59)

Surely this track is far too short to be used for World Cups?

jezzah (Aug 6, 2011 at 16:03)

Quality not quantity, it still sets people apart, look at the quali results

antmav (Aug 6, 2011 at 14:10)

IMO, this track seems pretty lame. Maybe because Gee is railing the hell outta it, it just seems short. I dunno. For a WC race, this may be the weakest track yet. Not that it looks like an easy course by all means, but c'mon, less ski slope grass and wood, and more tech/rocky trails in the woods would be nice.

lmbngtracer7975 (Aug 6, 2011 at 14:41)

totally agree. The first half of the track is mostly just grass.

MrLski (Aug 7, 2011 at 12:05)

I second that, weak looking track fo sho.

mpathic (Aug 7, 2011 at 15:52)

Third. Looks like the most boring DH track yet.

billy860 (Aug 6, 2011 at 10:38)

ZachTurple (Aug 6, 2011 at 10:19)

Whoa I never knew they go so freakin' fast!

vassilis (Aug 6, 2011 at 10:28)

I'm with you on that one, this is one of the only videos where i can see the difference between "slower" world cup riders!

Jayb1rd (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:22)

Sorry to be neg.. But I really don't like the contours.. They are so jumpy and glitchy.. Not the best quality :/

pierpoint33 (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:45)

It doesnt show me the video Frown

, bad cack that like

RaleighVoid (Aug 6, 2011 at 12:02)

go pros rule, and drift HDs are as good if not better

Contour (Aug 6, 2011 at 15:13)

If the video is jumpy or glitchy then you may want to try watching it on a different computer. It plays perfectly smooth on my machine. As with any HD video the speed of the processor will have a big influence on how smoothly the video plays.

Straner Plus (Aug 6, 2011 at 17:35)

It is real smooth on mine too... love contour by the way

hoolydooly (Aug 6, 2011 at 18:31)

Contour's video player always takes a while to get started, once it gets started it is fine tho. On another note, i had a dream about riding this track last night, although some of the Claw's Invitational course was mixed in there. i was a bit puzzled about why they would have skinnies on a downhill track.

Straner Plus (Aug 6, 2011 at 19:16)

I wish I had dreams like that... I still have dreams about woody and buzz light-year fighting off giant crabs trying to destroy a sacred watermelon

KonaStinkyKid100 (Aug 8, 2011 at 20:06)

zachturple do you live in a cave?

ZachTurple (Aug 8, 2011 at 21:47)

don't know how that question came from "Whoa I never knew they go so freakin' fast!" but to answer your question no, no I do not.

chrisrussell (Aug 6, 2011 at 15:54)

Ive not seen many videos but it seems like all the men are just making the last jump. Are the women not going to be pretty f*cked?

[Reply]

Idaho (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:29)

wow, WTF are his contour settings as I can't get a single video to not get wash-out when going from shadows to light and vice-versa...?

[Reply]

dhmad (Aug 7, 2011 at 7:16)

Really fast ! It's fun to see what confidence does... Look a the line choices in the rocky sections ! : )
With all this grass: hope it won't rain...

jackmackenzie95 (Aug 7, 2011 at 5:46)

JustGeorge (Aug 6, 2011 at 12:12)

Thats one pretty short course, can imagine the times are going to be incredibly quick this weekend! Maybe some rain will liven it up a bit?

steezyspeezy (Aug 8, 2011 at 0:15)

Course looks "easier" than some WC tracks. The riders must be having an absolute blast smashing runs flat out!

dirtjumper771 (Aug 8, 2011 at 8:41)

course looked easy...this isnt a world cup race is it?

laars (Aug 6, 2011 at 11:53)

He just makes it look so darn easy

chettjames (Aug 6, 2011 at 12:00)

if you think its easy then you should qualify right.......?

cGonzalez (Aug 6, 2011 at 15:21)

it looks like a fairly easy course to ride down, but racing down it takes it to a whole other level

[Reply]

Maverickdh00 (Aug 6, 2011 at 12:53)

Tracks pretty disappointing really - too many wooden structures as well, MTB is about dirt not wood.

dexterrobson (Aug 6, 2011 at 21:23)

I agree about the course being rather odd, especially the amount of grass he's riding.
