I think the real problem is that ridic tight transition at the bottom of the roll-in (who designed that?)... I bet the frame actually failed there at first (see his wobble) and just came apart on the case later. Bad show for Polygon though...

If you want to avoid going OTB so much, lose that long stem and go to a 35-50mm stem. Longer than 50 and you're guaranteed to eat sh*t when dropping steeps.

Couple of points... judging from the armored berms and several apparent jumps, this looks to be a downhill trail. Always yield to the faster rider, and don't stop in the trail tread. Younger guy: yeah, should have just pulled over and taken a short breather to let the other guy move on down the trail... following someone who obviously isn't going to move over isn't fun for anyone. Older guy: you committed assault, plain and simple. Hope you pay a huge fine ..and you're a total douche. just saying, you should probably watch out next time you're at this trail network... downhillers are mostly bros that stick together.... I wouldn't be surprised if in the future you just get run-the-f*ck-over by a train of guys on 40lb DH rigs.

The intro was the best part... I was expecting some seriouly horizontal riding after that, but it was mostly riding past really tall piles of dirt. Still awesome....

If there's any bike rider that makes mountainbiking look like slashing cornices in powder, it's the Claw.

I just think it's lame to race the same course twice in one year... WC should be on a track that is not part of the UCI tour.
