We could have almost lost Aaron Gwin today, he was hit by a truck! Only a DH racer could get away with this!

Because it's not worth $10 to watch an hour of face close ups, 15 minutes of what you've seen in the teasers and s**t music

Its old news now. Vital MTB had it up yesterday morning. Pinkbike is a great website and all, but Vital MTB is so much faster in getting stories up.

Wow, that took all day to read, including reading everyones comments about every article. It was a great 1/2 year, cant wait for the 2nd half of the year, even though its December.

Congratulations to PinkBike reader Dogshat, he was the only one to predict that Gwin would win the WC overall.

Nice year! The moment, when I saw the run of Danny Hart when he became World Champion that moment was so f*cking great! But I think we shall see that, in the next part. Good summary!
