The peak of Leogang; manicured bike-park had to be Gwin's chainless win in 2015.
Leogang was actually pretty technical the first few years. It was only when the trees were removed in the mid section that it became more straight forward. I raced the world cup there in 2013 and it was plenty challenging
You had a good run iirc 👌🤘
Can't wait to see who comes out on top this weekend!
Its gonna be a close one I think!
i think andi kolb has a good chance
That music at the end, is Henry thinking he’s on BBC Newsround 😂
I think it's sick, more CNN music!!
Going next week can't wait. Very concerned I picked the wrong time to visit. Seems to be very popular at the moment
Some new off-piste grass or wooded sections that venues tend to add don't really substitute for a proper gnarly DH track. Yeah, it's better, but not quite reinvented. If you go to the same venue often enough, it does become stale.
Hardline should be the reference if you ask me... But yeah I'm not participating 😅
Can't wait. Go Lachlan!
Leogang is the hardline of the world cups imo, big jumps, gnarly tech it has the lot imo
That's the kind of content that suits Henry well. Don't let him loose tho 😂
best track is Val di sole
Natural, steep and rutted? Lol
Who doesn’t love bumbling down Leogang
I'm not Saying Leo is smooth but sorry a sample size of 1 doesn't contradict anything. Henry. You're supposed to be the tech guy there so plotting trend lines from 1 data point is a bit silly of you
Ever since Henry got to pinkbike, it's been obvious someone else was doing the thinking for his scripts at GCN.
@@conman1395 It's just annoying his knee jerk reaction is "every popular opinion online is wrong and therefore the opposite opinion is 100% correct". I get that online commenters often know shit and throw out dumb opinions but being a contrarian is as bad.
@@NotADuncon to help me understand, could you explain further? Is it concerning the comment referring to wheel size? Thanks
What’s this single data point? He went over the changes made each year…
What are you talking about? He ran through the changes since 2017 - are you sure you watched the video and understood what is is about?
Good video thanks. And thanks for not having dark rimmed glasses and weak facial hair that’s a plus in my book you stand out sir. We need to bring back Champery and Shlodming and Norway tracks. I still have the very bike the last year they made the 2014 V10 in 26 inch. 10 inches of travel a true V10 great bike
