That was awesome. Awesome track, awesome riders, awesome tricks!

Yeah the commentator didn't know all that much. Well done to Corey Bohan; winning run was crazy.

Got some pics i took on my phone (i'm no photographer). Some are ok, but i'm sure mono shot some good ones. My favs:



Anyone else get some pics?

Was a really good event!

I think the commentator was asking about the tricks just to try and let the crowd know what they were and give them the lowdown, not because he didn't know. Or possibly for the crowd as well as him.

Exactly.

You need someone like that to mediate for parents etc. who have no idea about the tricks being pulled.

anybody else thinking this is what "slopestyle" courses should actually look like? (perhaps scaled up slightly for 26" wheels)

MTB should stick to mountains, this is BMX territory and it really does show. This event pi**ed all over MTB freeride and made it look gay.

The course itself was a work of art and the riders were so buttery smooth on everything!

Was great. Drove from Dartford in Kent to Newton Abbot and back for it today  Cheesy

Ben Hennon clearing the bottom hip setup; but straight, was awesome.
 
He landed a couple of those tucked no-handers over it earlier in day but couldn't get one in his competition runs.

Ali Whitton's Supermans (plural?) off that top rail ski jump were NUTS to!!!
