So cool! Perfect way to see some of the new tech in action, MTB looks so good in slo-mo

[@barrakingbeatz7794]

Look like the Specialized team had the best and most compliant setup all weekend!

[@brian6speed]

those specialized bikes are so smooth.

[@mikeunderwater1]

amazing video ! thank you!

[@stirfrybry1]

Slow it down to 1/4% speed and it's unreal how active the suspensions are. amazing engineering these days.

[@cordless157]

That slowed whistle sound is sending me rolling 😂. Good stuff as always Vital!

[@Peanutdenver]

Sounds like an old western film from the 1950s with the Indians screaming before they attack a wagon train of settlers heading out west lol

GAmUX is Magic silent. cheers Vital

Some slick editing there John, killer shots as always 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍

[@Bjoern_the_Baer]

What I've been waiting for :)

[@amgoatee3700]

Some Indian tribes apparently watching the race 😆

[@Jake-wb8wd]

Thought that was mutant turkeys

[@virendra_mali]

huhauhauahuahauha

[@mattmikuska]

What a rad wild comment lol

[@jptothetree]

The difference between Finn and the rider after him at 12:28 is crazy. Finn did that about as smooth and perfect as humanly possible, whereas the other guy lost a ton of speed on that landing!

[@KB-gu2sc]

My favorite kind of youtube video!

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

Oh oh, the rotor guards are back! I had the originals on my Santa Cruz Super 8 way back in the day!! They would flex and hit the front rotor on the rough stuff and make a very disturbing noice. Surly Loic's are of superior quality...

[@BrenanLow]

Awesome! 👏🏻

[@MrEtnie]

Thanks for that amazing video.

[@MonsterPredatorPL]

Therapy session🤤

[@Peanutdenver]

Gotta admit those gold over gold/kashima colored forks look pretty dope...apparently a ton of riders agree with me

[@roflKartofflel]

5:02 for everybody that came for the thumbnail
What is Magura hiding here? And when can we finally see that swedish gold?

[@watsonthedog264]

whatever it is what a weird way to do it, cover the front rotor entirely but not the caliper and cover the rear caliper fully but not the rotor (which looks like a normal storm rotor) are they trying to get more thermal consistency by not allowing the brakes to cool as much or something?

[@roflKartofflel]

@@watsonthedog264 my guess was some New caliper

[@leoperez5003]

@@roflKartofflel This was only to prevent mud to get in the rotors. Bruni said to Wyn in WynTv.

[@roflKartofflel]

@@leoperez5003I see, thank you

[@roddas26]

Dak with the hair flowin out back

[@Ricobonito1]

That... "Orulurolulululululululu......"😁

[@orlandoyapura]

Hermoso.

[@MarkusFinholt]

It looks like high pivot actually has quite a large impact on rear wheel hangups

[@BestKiteboardingOfficial]

That commentary was better than the live broadcast.

[@Bluhawaii]

I missed the cows the bulls and the whole farm🤣🤣

[@mtbalpinecounty]

💪

[@DavidLaburglier]

what kind of bird is making those beautiful calls?

[@DrCrimp-sg5pb]

gamux are smoooooth

[@mountaincruiser817]

I always thought these DH races were much faster. Also I would never thought night owls would hangout so close to these events.

[@gregggytt1446]

I didn’t see one privateer on this or any other content , is there a reason for this ?

[@vitalmtb]

there are privateers in our Juniors video and Vital RAW vids (cruise our channel). afaik, this slowmo was after qualifying, so some maybe only a few privateers may not have made it through to these practice rounds. even privateers out there look pro/factory with their bikes and kits these days.

[@sladoid]

0:48 what's that?

[@bombe8000]

That's a Gamux Sego.

[@shanemullins925]

Go Dylan Maples

[@Prodiod]

Got another supporter here!

[@Ivanoff685]

Шалом , шок и трепет

[@Lou-f]

Fantastic tracking shots John! The boxers have caught up but the other two have definitely moved on 👌🏻
The spec looks to be the most level bike and you can even see the commie rear end twisting on some landings.

[@janicejackson2016]

We are exhausted just looking at this period why are there no knee pads or elbow pads

[@virendra_mali]

That specialized forgot to land

[@hyperslow556gungamer]

What is that bike at 0:54. Yummy!

[@MoriTouge]

So kids bike's guards were right all the time? 😧

[@bmx08]

Fox mestre em lançar cores horríveis. Lanja e agora essa dourada cor de coco

[@mrhqyangtechnic_q_emx8180]

are the new Boxxers 38mm finally?
