Danny Hart World Downhill Champion

Below is the winning run of Danny Hart at the World Downhill Championships in 2011. The guy is amazing. Watch how well he uses his body to lean into the corners to change direction of his bicycle. Leaning a bicycle is more important than the actually turning of the bars in most situations. He makes it look easy. And how about the announcers. Think they are excited?

There’s nothing left to say about his race that the announcers didn’t already say, especially “what the hell!” thanks, that was well worth watching.

The UK guys seem to have an advantage in the wet, but don’t forget about Aaron Gwin (First US guy to win World Cup overall!) http://youtu.be/Vp3a_st75bE I think with Rampage coming back and the DH World Cup excitement 2012 is going to be a big year in bike riding!

Back story here is every other guy couldn’t get down the hill without crashing and here he is carving like an amphibian. Clearly the UK guys have webbed digits.

Wow. I can only say wow. Insane. Worth watching a thousand times for a thousand reasons.

I would have used a fender.
