    Good to see Asa Vermette in here. He and Ali Ostgaard are going to be the next big stuff in downhill.

    mechenic asking pro riders about their bikes and throwing them off opening with the GOAT questions is pure gold, great stuff Quinney 👍👍

    please make sure no one misunderstands, norco has a low pivot alloy aurum dh bike as well, that rides completely differently than the high pivot HSP carbon aurum. the crestline looks dope.

      Yeah and Blenky would've ridden most of the Aurum generations, he rode for Norco for 6 years..

      They've also just revealed a new prototype DH bike.. Looks the goods, and nothing like the old gen Aurum, HSP, or Range.

    Can't believe nobody mentioned either Nicolas Vouilloz or Anne Caroline. Objectively (numbers), they are the two best DH riders of all time. Minaar and Rachel are close seconds though. Don't forget those legends guys!

      Thought the same, also I am partial to Greg/Rachel because they are from the era that I have been watching WCDH, maybe the same for some of the racers on this video?

    • @danharvey3096

      Actually they look alot different from each other than they used to.. Have a look at late 90s photos when different brands, like Giant, Haro, Foes, litterally just re-stickered the same Intense M1 frame.. While some methodologies might be similar, the differences in linkage & pivots is way more diverse than even just 10 years ago..
