  8. ka4172 says:

    And now “uphill”! lol!

  9. fraekkerten says:

    moto is way to heavy in the small curves, and the bicycle had way more speed, even tho the moto was laying better on the ground than the bike.

    lets race up hill…

  11. Lynxtro says:

    gee is a cocky fucker

    Mad respect for both of these guys neither of them backed down at all and neither is an easy task.

  13. monsterenergy148 says:

    both amazing riders but that just proves how fast the downhill mtb pros go amazing

  14. SoCalledFreeman says:

    @samsemtex Yeah but the DH bike is what 5-6 times lighter than the KTM, that makes it much much easier to handle down the steep DH track

    Gee Atherton is the best rider in dowtown…

    I ride DH and enduro. Dirtbikes are not easier just because you don’t have to pedal! Your body is working hard to toss a 250lb bike around the corners. It’s just as much work.

    David lost it at that last bit hats off to gee though, brilliant video

    What is the tune playing from 0m53s please?

  20. samsemtex says:

    @saiyajinali Im pretty sure knight would have had plenty of practise runs before he took his timed run. It doesnt take that long to memorise a course.

  21. samsemtex says:

    @SoCalledFreeman To be fair knight has an engine! The bike must be so much quicker through the corners and rough stuff to make up for that.

  22. pillarimies says:

    Gees time was 30 seconds slower than he’s world cup run in same year…

  23. 119silverfox says:

    Great video settled an argument as well fair play to the enduro rider didn’t think a big bike like that could go down mtb trail as bad (but good)as that

  24. XLR125X says:

    bikes pretty fast, i think it handled better in the slippery looking mud and thats why it won. i have alot more respect for mountain bikes now tho : O

    What is the tune playing from 2m55s please?
