TOP SHIZZLE
yeah Strobel!!! And Gwin! When was the last time 2 US riders placed Top 10? Its been awhile!!!!! Congrats to Sam Hill too for staying in the fight.
omfg im f*ckin hyped right now that sam hill took the overall and won schladmig. 4 out of 5 years isnt half bad at all. gwin got 3rd, 4th and 5th this year! great 1st full WC year bromo. luke is up on that top 10!
hendu...peaty didnt fail at this, he didnt seem to push too hard, whats the point? hes won many world cup races, what he wanted so badly was the world champs, and he got them, so hes had a good year, no pressure on him today, go blenkinsop, shame about fairclough though 
Schladming never has been Peaty's course. I really didn't expect Hill to take it though. I thought it would be blenky or fairclough.
good results for gwin n blinki!! sam hill going sick once again, looked awesome! big up moseley aswell ^^

Gee Came off on the top section. He didnt look too happy. poor guy. awesome race though blinki pinned it, Hill was just awesome, what a run he had. Minaar was on it took long enough for some1 to come and beat his time. Also Well done bryceland, another good run reaching top 10. Superb season 
Wow. Great way to end an incredible season! Yeti with 3 in the top-6 and Santa Cruz with 3 in the top-8 = very impressive. Better yet, two Yanks in the top-10...way to go Gwin and Strobel!!! 2010 season is going to be wide-open and I can't wait to see how it all goes down.
there are only two yeti riders in the top ten, dont know where youve been but leov rides for trek now. anyways, good to see my favorite team doin so well, right on for blinky and gwin! sad to see gee crash his season hasnt been all he had hoped for
45- Steve Smith (Crashed)
That's an understatement
He Fred Flinstone'd it down the whole woods section lol

the girls a whole f*cking minute behind... if i were i a girl id be kicking there asses! OMFG STEP IT UP GIRLS!
haha i remember that bs. Speicialized is better then iron horse anyway. and they look better too.Ya Hill!
theoretically speaking the Sams IH bike was superior to his current Specialized in terms of suspension. but he is backed by a better company now and could destroy most of the kids on here on a Wal-Mart bike.
odin333 you are a kid, not an engineer so don't even make those useless comments without thinking twice. 15 years and don't know sh*t.
you honestly think that Horst is superior to DW-link? i probably know alot more then you do, age has nothing to do with intelligence. Sam has nearly the same geometry on his specialized as his IH. here is the catch, his iron horse was lighter, and had a better suspension system. so your saying that a heavier, less technologically advanced bike is better then one that is lighter and has one of the best suspension platform available?
Yes, I'm sure you know more than me, even though you're still at high school while I'm studying Civil Engineering with vehicular and aeronautical enginnering. Little kid, you need to learn that you have to use arguments in order to win a discussion. Please show me a CAD/MATLAB simulation that shows that the DW link is superior to FSR. Please do.
Besides, you don't know sh*t, I'm 100% sure you haven't read linear algebra, vector geometry or anything that has to do with suspension design.

why does Steve deserve a special mention (crashed) over Gee atherton a much better rider, who more people would expect to see in the top ten then Steve Smith
yeah, Steve Smith is one of the few Canadians who are in the World Circuit and get mentioned frequently. seeing as largely Canadian Users and Canadian run it makes sense for us to cheer for him.

If there is something I cant stand its people who support riders from other country's more then they do there own. For instance what is all the fuss over hill if your from the UK. Surely Peaty, Gee etc are the guys you should be rooting for. Same with Gwin Its a sport and I think you should root for your home grown first before anyone else. I am presonaly pretty gutted that Pete and Gee didnt end up in the top 3 but then its good to see the up and coming riders coming through.
people like to support who inspires them. you probably shouldn't "root" for anyone who isn't on an Orange according to your view. sam's pure talent on flats and Peat is world champ..!!! great season for everybody, yeah?
Huge props to Steve Smith! When's the last time we had a Canadian finish top 15 in the overall? Shandro? Dustin?

did you see the size of the braking bumps at the bottom of the track?! those things could swallow a class of first graders.
