US Open - DH Finals Video

Posted: May 25, 2009

The guys were all over the course capturing clips for you all to enjoy. The downhill race at this year's US Open was one hell of a good time. The weather played it's part and made a tough course that much harder for the racers to navigate, but Sam Hill and Miranda Miller each went home $5000 richer!

Check out the video from the race and the podium shots inside:

why's Brian Lopes not standing on the slalom podium? did he whinge about not being paid enough and sulk off home again?

brule (May 26, 2009 at 7:17)

They did the slalom awards on Sunday night. The race was on Saturday night and Brian's flight was on Sunday morning, so he was unable to attend the awards.

Armhouse (May 26, 2009 at 5:20)

When did Lopes do that? Sam finally wins this year, but not the normal WC level competition. $5000 1st place purse is good to see, especially in these times.
