29er will almost always be faster on a DH course. Enduro on the other hand, or any riding where you don't know the course like the back of your hand, it's easier to make emergency (unexpected) changes in direction on a 27.5.
@@BenDeakinMTB If its super steep and tight (i.e alpine switchbacks) than 27.5 FTW, that's not your typical DH course though. Edit: ...or your typical bike park. I know some really steep, tight, exposed trails in Chamonix where you'd find it easier on a 26", the shorter wheelbase the better!
Ben, you did a vid for me today about how I owe my dad six quid l, thank you very much! I was in bits. Can’t believe I got oi oied 😂
Met you this weekend! Had such a sick time at my first DH race, you make the vibe so lit. Cheers for including me at 13:52 Oi Oiiiii!
Well done on the win. Great video. Love the racing line lessons. Really interesting.
Hope the lad/lass that took the tumble is OK.
15.08 :) its us and the marshal Paul :) We did not get on bike that day but was nice to watch the action
That run was really smooth Ben! Congrats.
Nice one Ben. Good to see you again today. Enjoy your off season.
Well done Deaks!!
Just noticed the spectator had his ass out at 0:14 seconds into the intro or a fake ass. Either way it’s hilarious 😂
Lol I can confirm that arse is 100% real and now thanks to Deaks 100% famous 😂😂😂

Not sure, if it’s super steep and tight?

I rode my downhill bike which turns like a barge and the bottom of that tree took me down yay
The geezer with his ass out on the race run made me chuckle
Nearly did me, my arms went weak 🤣
Pause it at 14:52 😂😂😂
