  • ► Relive Leogang 2015, an iconic UCI Mountain Bike DH Finals, only on Red Bull TV: www.redbull.co...
    After breaking his chain right at the start gate, Aaron Gwin heads off for a run that will go down in the DH history books. Probably one of the most memorable MTB Downhill runs ever!
    This was the scene of the greatest UCI World Cup downhill race victory of all-time. Sure, we've had big winning margins and wild riding, but never before has a rider snapped a chain at the start of his or her run and go on to take the victory. Leogang 2015 produced one of the most breathtaking, nail-biting and spectacular races of that season.

    It's crazy to realize how much more potential you've got when you have to rail into the turns like that when you know braking isn't a option. Gwin definitely went for it!
    Not to take anything away from him, Harts run in the rain is the most inspiring for me.
