So happy to see some more credit given to Rachel! I feel like the announcers/commentators weren't giving her the props she deserves.
Rachel allways just chilling in quali
Yeah, she doesn't want to hurt herself. there are so few women in pro downhill that she can relax and easily qualify. in mens racing the field is thicker and you have to go hard just to qualify. We need more women in pro DH, they are the most hardcore women's athletes in the world
What an incredible athlete!!
She's and incredible athlete , I need not say anymore :) Well done Rachel !
Absolutely one incredible DH season...for both men and women, but Rachel's riding was in another realm. I could hit "replay' all day watching everyone of her races. 4 days and a wake up to the start of another season. Can't wait. Being 2016 I have to mention the loss of Steve Smith, he was and will be missed. Bring on the DH's
...and for 2017, all the 1°place qualification too
Yes! can't wait for my first mtb season next year
A good recap of "how she done(sic) it".
Big thanks Martyn!
she should do hardline?
The Leogang clips were re-shown instead of the final round clips...
I'm a mountain biker see gmbn watch it even it is 1:30 am
can you do an unboxing with go pro's new karma package please??
especially the drone
That'll be a tad expensive...
they don't pay for them, but i want to see it in the flesh before even thinking about buying it- it'd be good publicity for go pro
Your paying for durability compatibility
The Blogger ??
Fresh cut Martin !
Are some of these race available online?
Seasons over now but they were live streamed on RedBullTV and they might have the races archived. You can also look at the GoPro captures from Rachel's races on TH-cam 'Atherton Racing'.

there are two false clips when he talks about val di sol they are from fort william and leogang not from val di sol
4:53 is lourdes
He forgot to give credit to her brothers
The poor rat was squeezed in the vise!! I think you should name the rat and make it your dirtshed maskot!!
This should make every aspiring champ stick with training plans. :)
are men's and women's races in the same exact tracks/lines? I'd like to see how she failed in times compared to the men's races. I think she could be a good contender in there
Yes same track. There are b-lines around big features on some courses (like the Stevie Smith drop on Mont St. anne) but the elite women hit everything. Times are 30+ seconds slower than men often (so Rach wouldn't be top 30 I don't believe).
That said, she is truly amazing and in a class of her own. Love watching her ride. I don't think we should compare men and women's times as strength plays such a factor in DH.
by riding with her brothers :p
Did anyone notice the rat in the vice!
& races is not a whole lot of races for an entire season, or is it? How come no USA spots, and why Mt St. Ann in Quebec over Whistler BC? It's a weird spread of race locations, no? How about some history and some reasons why things are the way they are.
Damn martyn, ur hair is gray af
first thing I noticed too... and had never noticed it that much before
yus
Matches his jumper.
#HowSheDoneIt
does anyone else wonder how did she do it? because to me something seems wrong i would say.
the only way to cheat in downhill would be to cut corners, and Im pretty sure theres people/cameras watching for that...
The field in the women's event is a lot smaller so there isn't the same competition. Plus she trains day in day out with some of the best riders in the men's event so she's far ahead of the other girls. She's fearless.
But, the finish line was the same each time.
