And all after facing the Black Snake, then with arms and legs. Sam Hill knows it well, who threw the world championship to the wind in 2008 after a run that went down in history: for the record, despite the crash he risked winning anyway from a standing start. An unprecedented run! (see the video).

HENRY KERR

Among the Elite men, another who cursed her is Henry Kerr, who was doing the run of his life but a slip has relegated him to the backup positions. He wouldn't have won but he was playing a position in the top 5. See the video below.

JACKSON GOLDSTONE FALLS

Jackson Goldstone in the last few races is falling often because, needless to hide it, he feels the pressure of another crystalline talent, namely Jordan Williams. British born in 2004, he is always running on times often better than the Elite and many insiders are unbalanced by saying that Goldstone and Williams will be the future of world DH together with Goldstone.

Here is the fall in sequence and then the video. In the fall Goldstone broke the handlebars… nice blow! Eventually Goldstone will finish in 4th place but still win the Cup overall (junior race report).

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
