<b>Seeing Aaron Gwin push himself to the ragged edge is unforgettable. There was no denying he wanted this win bad...and he got it. 3.5-seconds up in a demonstration of raw power. #mindblown.</b> @maddogboris
<b>The fans get a glimpse of all the racers as they head up on the chairlift. There was a deafening roar when this man came into view.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>...who stormed the course right behind him!</b> @maddogboris
<b>Gwin on the home straight in front of a home crowd...</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Rachel Atherton is untouchable with a win by almost 10-seconds on a 3-minute track. She thought she could get just under three minutes and she came oh so close with a 3:00 flat.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>#superfans</b> -Sven Martin
<b>It's a done deal. Laurie Greenland is the Junior World C up overall winner this year!</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Laurie Greenland has held it together all year and after today it looks like the overall series is his, too.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Minnaar never cracks. He held it together for 2nd after a massive crash on his last practice run on race day morning. #iceveins</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Manon Carpenter with a 2nd place and in one piece at a venue that hasn't been kind to her in the past.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>There were a couple of break-out rides this weekend but none will top that of Loris Vergier. His ass must be on fire due to the long stay in the hotseat, finishing up in 3rd!</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Welcome to the podium. After a rough start to the season Loris Vergier has rebounded extremely well and straight to 3rd place on the box. What a result for the young Frenchman. It was mixed feelings for him as he was more bummed for Loic's misfortune than his own result. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>#deathgrip and perfect style technique and form is how you win races. Loic pre-race run. His audio says it all. #flatssuck</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Ireland's Jacob Dickson came so close to getting his first World Cup win here in Windham</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Neil Stewart was back to his old playful self on the bike and would take any opportunity to whip, turnbar or manual.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Weightless in the rocks for a 3rd place finish. Tahnee Seagrave.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Gee getting back up to speed and on the podium again. He lost a little on the bottom part of the course but is happy.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>A return to form for Stevie Smith, breaking onto the podium for the first time since he won the overall in Leogang 2013.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Pom Pon looked to be the only one that could touch Rachel. She pushed hard for the win and suffered a crash as a result. Still on the podium and looking ahead to World Champs near home.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Charlie Harrison less than half a second off the podium. Good to see the young USA Junior pushing his potential. </b> -Sven Martin
Video is processing. Try again soon.
<b>Wonder what Trump would think about Eddie Masters? Who cares? Eddie gets our vote.</b>
<b>Last year's winner styling into 7th place.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Birthday boy Andrew Crimmins lost out on the chase for the leader's jersey today. However looking back to an injury-filled season as a first-year Junior, it's been a vast improvement!</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Troy Brosnan missed the podium by the tiniest of margins due to an OTB crash. What could have been?</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Matt Walker, 11th place. Kiwi cojones and privateer power.</b> @maddogboris
<b>Matt Walker, dangling.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Kiwi for "hobo."</b> -Sven Martin
<b>A gracious defeat as Phil Kmetz pushes a little too hard for the home crowd. After a mistake up top, he was reclaiming places at an alarming rate.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Way to pin it this weekend, Phil! </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Sam Hill is one of the sickest bike handlers out there, but we rarely get to witness it! After a crash up top he styled it for the rowdy American crowd.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Brenwiggle.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Simmonds backing up his Worlds selection with a strong 8th place. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Spurred on by the stars and stripes, Luca Shaw brought it home to 16th place.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Marcelo is still as focused as ever. 19th.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>Brannigan wins the award for the wildest run hands down. 3 crashes and exiting the tape once on top of that. This didn't stop him going insanely fast in between each mishap though.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>That Blenki style can't be beat. SO NASTY!</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Never enough Blenki. Boom, bam, boosh, berm blasting.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>#prayforduncan</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Why we love her - #deathgrip and heart! Missy, 3rd fastest in the speed trap. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Shawn Neer, finish line smear.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>YOO ESS AYY!</b> -Sven Martin
<b>World Cup of Rednecking.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Patriot power.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>This weekend's fastest brothers were the Pierron brothers bagging 23rd and 26th place! Amaury Pierron pictured.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Gwin stepping in to take out Trump in the presidential race? He has the campaigner power to pull it off.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>#legend</b> @maddogboris
<b>Woodstock isn't that far from here.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>Loris Vergier full gas towards the bottom of the course. If you got airborne here it's because you were pushing hard and coming in hot just before the speed trap. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Loris comin' in hot.</b> -Fraser Britton
<b>One more Loic, because we care.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Shhhh. Hear that? We don't hear it either. Greg Minnaar is an MTB sniper. You know he's there, but you don't know what he's done to you until it's too late.</b> @maddogboris
<b>Transponder placement isn't the most straight forward with an upside down fork, but Casey takes no notice as she's busy sending it in style to the finish.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>3rd and 3rd for FMD!</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>I don't think Gwin's listening.</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>The racing in the States is over and it's time to cross the pond again! $6 per baggage cart doesn't seem like too bad of a deal with this many bikes!</b> -Duncan Philpott
<b>That's a wrap from the U.S.A. We'll see you in Val di Sole for the final World Cup of 2015 in just a couple weeks!</b> -Duncan Philpott
