Sam hill vs. Gee Atherton at Andorra

[superagnitio]

great video thanks!

[baujahr90er]

i would crash on the first meters hahaha



[s3p7imus]

0.31 sec is a small lead. Both great riders. This is 1 of 1 ... don't know what the picture will be if they did 2 of 3 ot 3 of 5 runs ....

[LLschoolJ2]

poor sam hill



[tandheverett]

Off day for Sam

[oritaco]

mas'e edan kabehhhhh

[DOUGIEfoshizzle]

sam seems to corner faster but gee carries speed better on the rollers

they are both super sick

[TheConfusedKnight]

Does anyone else find it incredible that is such a technical and variable sport that riders at the highest level are only seperated by tenths of a second over a four minute course?

I'm in awe of the talent they have!

[MyToncek]

sam is fucking awsome... but.  Gee is fucking god

[UgLyFaCe619]

Well done for the 2 riders. I love Sam Hill, more than Gee Atherton, but i have respect for all the DH riders in the world, so ; )

[victorox98]

i reckon they are both great riders

[DOUGIEfoshizzle]

@victorox98 you reckon? there is no reckoning needed

[zoppi69]

In my opinion the only reason Gee won this race is because he was able to push his bike a little more than Sam! Stronger than Sam at this race...in a way.

[gavra98]

Both of them are excellent riders 

[JO3SCHMO]

i rekon sam is better

[nettle99]

raw talent killing it or talented athletic killing it, either way, sic runs down to the wire...

[nettle99]

raw talent and talented athletic both kill it!

[SuperMolamola]

cedric gracia at tha cantroul! haha

[SmitsFreestyle]

To be honest, these are both two of my favourite riders. I respect all, but my favourites are Darren Berrecloth, The Athertons and Sam Hill. I'm a noob to mtb and downhill, they inspire me.

[JuanJosedh14]

that crazy this video.......... fuuuuull

[livingmylifeatmach2]

No one wanted that win more then Gee. Good on you, fella'. :)

[SDAlsorts]

STOP FUCKING ARGUING. 

[aubbie666]

@tosher777 you are an idiot, just stupid.

[9000nickhtube]

OK theres only one legend in downhill and its Steve Peat. Hes 36 for christ sake.

[99dangerman]

I love freecaster TV coz they post all this stuff but REALLY - talk about patriotic rubbish. Hills' got 3 World champ's, Peaty got one on the flattest course we could provide you, and Gee got one coz Sam fell, END OF STORY. I love PEATY coz of where he stands in the sport, and was at Canberra barracking for him when Sam couldn't win, but Gee win only ever be second to Sam, injury and accident aside. HILL IS THE KING!!!!! As Peaty said "Give him a crown."

[AtBaCo]

We should thanks God they both exist..! 'this video is showing those two friends were at play. For them its just another day of their life so do not need to be so brutal in our comments.. But as for us they are the reason we love DH biking...!

Our Love is for Gee, Sam and Piet, also all great rider out there that are the reason we have passion in Downhill Biking...!

[SuperEmilio123myyout]

gee is god!!

[kilbergalindo]

Sam Hill is a moster... we knowwwww... the faster at this time, but he doesn't ride "the red bull rampage's" like atherton... and gee have more UCI titles... and i mean... you need a lot of balls to ride the RAMPAGE'S...

[exstazyunior]

@kilbergalindo the reason alot of riders dont ride both is because there is a high risk you will hurt yourself in rampage. think next time

[kilbergalindo]

@exstazyunior whaja? so what? what are you talking about? is my opinion (Just saying to me gee is a most complete rider) i'm not sayinf if sam is better or worst? what are you talking about dude? read well first...

[exstazyunior]

@kilbergalindo what your sayin is that sam hill is afraid of riding rampage

[j2n100]

they're both great! anyone can win in this sport! it's just a matter of who was the best on that day that the competition happened. It's not about who's the champion or who won more titles.

[exstazyunior]

@j2n100 you have no idea what you talkin about. when you say it like that it sounds like most sports are just meaningless.

[aBeastOfFire]

Sam hill vs. Gee Atherton at  VAL DI SOLE?????

[Wcableguy]

two great riders may not have been sam's kinda of track but gee was crakin it

[azattac]

There both great get over it

[NeverSCARED94]

looks like somebody stole the technic :D

[samkocurekmrchicken]

i like sams bike

[aidanw10]

both are amaizing riders. they have both won world titles. you cant say one is better then the other judging from this video. they both had to ride the same track and gee won, no discredit to sam , he had an amazing run but he just wasnt good enough to take the win. biking is the most unpredictable sport, anyone can win at any time so it is hard to judge who is the best

[MoNsTeRINFECTION]

@tosher777 ????

[oliCRF]

@tosher777 ur a fukin prick

[ulmo5]

@tosher777 Sam Hill = Legend

Gee Atherton = World cup Champion

You!?!? = Egotestical Prick

[TheMrPaddzy]

@tosher777 like to see you ride like gee atherton!!

[1stGhela]

look !!they got diffrent styles,,their good!!really good

[localboyz]

Jesus Christ that was amazing! I have never seen two athletes so incredibly close in a competition in any sport!

[huglea]

gee aint even in sam's lead

[BighitOwnsCoD4]

I love how much the commentators praise steve..

Sam #1!

[zarapatroso]

Gee Atherton: the best!!!!

[zacmacca89]

sam is number 1 gee is sic but sam is def number 1

[DekraDaFurry]

by sam you mean peat right?

[captaincommando2]

done the nation proud good man!

[blackiesgo]

Gee looks more athletik than Sam..

[Alexlikesbikes]

Is it just me or does it look like Gee's bike weighs 50lbs and Sam's weighs 30? I guess it's just riding styles, and Gee pushes a harder gear, but I much prefer watching Sam. It's like a lion vs. a springbok!

[cibaibin1]

Both are excellent riders. Anyone can come close is a world champion.Wow....look at their super skills.

[MTBMadMan61]

You are such a fucknugget giantbluemarlin. So you don't like Gee, who gives a shit, Sam Hill's not my favorite rider but at least i'm not like you and i don't search for every video that he's in and insult him and his fans. You're a sad prick. You've got too much time on you're hands if you can leave a stupid comment on every video of Gee. Fucking Dickhead.

[frankster262]

i thought this was the race where gee lost by .02 seconds...

[Ducatiboy73]

Come on People WHAT the FUCK is with ALL THE HATE????

So you like Hill...Cool, or you like Gee, Cool

But don't put down great people in our Amazing Sport. I don't see yer name up there???

Have some Fucking Respect!!!!

[bobpzero]

its the way some spectators think, or dont think and dont like using their common sense.

[giantman72]

@Ducatiboy73 FUCK YEAH

[afiq360skatevids]

@Ducatiboy73 hey, shut up

[Ducatiboy73]

@afiq360skatevids You have a nice day too my friend.

[westonj05]

You have to be prety dam good to beat sam

[m3rcuryd3ath]

anyone who is even coming close to sams times is amazing, beating him or not

[misterlister420]

you'd have to be a mother funking BOSS just to compete with 'em!

[cpoxton]

Why's everone so hatefull. They're both great riders. Heart says Gee but head says hill.

[gpilley]

shut it Atherton could beat you down a hill anyday! the Cosmo thing was a one off and he did it for a LAUGH, so what he had a bad season everyone has one so SHUT IT, he is an amazing rider and he is British winning combo their!

[bikeskills]

Check out our Bikeskills instructional videos at the Bikeskills Channel on YouTube that include downhill basics vid with Greg Minnaar

[666thorben666]

I ♥ HILL

[Stresskind86]

hate gee....hill is best !

[DangerousMike00]

sam hill is the best

[ombyes1234]

clearly not otherwise he would have won ;)

[Magister528]

Gee Atherton sucks! Sam Hill rocks

[orzy321]

i think the video says differen

[MrAMERICANxMUSCLE]

really your gonna put down Gee? a great rider in the sport and say hill rocks when he clearly lost. both are great riders! but i wouldnt doubt you think peaty sucks too..

[jonno69098887776766]

shit that was a photo finish for real

[Sqkeeky]

MC Hammer pants wahoo

[warmsunset62]

Well done Gee, you did the Brits proud.

[yotozme]

What happend to Ironhorse, did they go bankrupt?

[philipknowles1]

I'm not sure if they've gone or are going bankrupt. I think one of their biggest problems was that they lost the license to use the DW link on their bikes. They borrowed it from another designer and without it they would struggle to make a competative bike.

[PatriachNickoli]

damn sam hill shuld hav won although commencal make gud bikes Ironhorse shuld always be beta lol

[MrRUSS808]

Dont look like it.

I was rooting for Sam anyway

[k0neb]

steves 37 this year

[borderpiper61]

sammy looks much cooler on the bike....

[plumstick13]

gee is soo fucking fast man

[Nexumbiker110]

both fantastic riders! but gee's been winning most of his races lately

[13yrsofrage]

both gr8 riders tho id have 2 go with gee on this 1 coz he powned last season

[skilahoya]

q grosos q son !

[Hodgmeisterpro0209]

Gee is definatley the best in britain if not the world atm.

[dabombbikesarebest]

no screw gee he is all ways loosing to steave and steave is like 50

[Freeriderr69]

steave isnt like 50...

[moinismion]

@dabombbikesarebest he´s 35 :D

[konastinky08]

Awesome riding!

=O you can see the fox 40's flexing a little at 1.07

[hidayatz]

nothing can stop the flexing of the forks..it can only be minimised...all metals will flex..if they made it too hard, it might just snap..so, have to make it balanced..

[BoMB3Ro88ReCoRdS]

Spain Downhill !!!!!!!

[mihogo]

I love rachel :)

[bikeskills]

Sweet Video! Check out Minnaar and others at bikeskills video channel on YouTube.

[mdragondz]

do they warm up and check the trails before racing, sam hill, where is he from?

mtb beginner

[nitroxlodd]

yeah they walk the track and do a few practice runs and most of them warm up on turbo-trainers before runs and sam hill is aussie 23 yrs old i think

[BMXfreak478811]

yea there are practice days or hours(depends on race) before the race. and sam is from australia :)

[tonipalike]

MALO

[lachie980]

SAM HILL is the best in the world. end of story

[liuwenjie6678]

one thing is for sure that gee is far more better then sam hill,i love gee!!!...

[spankrider93]

gee isn't much better than sam...

i loke both..^^

[liuwenjie6678]

yeah,dude!:)

i didnt say sam was not good enough,i just,prefer gee,of course rachel,shes a cutie!...

[Timmay0081]

gee is probably a beta rider as an all rounder but sam hill rips shit on gee at downhill. did you see him in the world champs! damn baby.

[RGRIMOWEN]

Rob Warner is a tard.

[stormfighter117]

sam hill is better then gee, this race is one of tousands

[JokerPokerUberSmoker]

[ukeespencer]

[luecky94]

[ukeespencer]

yah i know. h said kona iron horse...which was weird. but yah he now rides a demo

[Rammstone13]

gee is better ten sam

[vinallen12]

fox vs boxxer. fox racing shox FTW!

[nhilist99]

This post might have real time Hill vs Atherton at andorra but can someone help me. I'm sure that's Val De Sol commentry thrown in and others. Either that or it's the same cmmentators saying the same anti-Hill stuff again. Lets face it, unless the course is more XC than DH the only bloke who beats Sam is Sam. The day I see them both stay up and Atherton be 10 secs up on Hill then I'll retract that comment.

[mtbcal]

nice steve peat but gee is just amazing

kl guys

[evilinvaderfrombe]

what does pete have to do with this?

[liuwenjie6678]

hahahaha!...

[Mayflyal]

I like Sam Hill, but honestly... Gee Atherton rules !

[loquillobadness]

Sam hill is the best recalls q callus was insane at the 2008 championship ride hi le sac 8 seconds tothe two will not win him as an x iso gee Atherton ^ ^

[miniclubbhoy]

[Ado501]

English of course with a british accent

[zombiieboy]

Atherton Rulz

[silentcyanide08]
