Hope this works, could get it to embed properly so follow the link.

It's Sam Hills winning run from Maribor. He won by 3 seconds. 2nd to 8th was separated by 2 seconds. 3rd to 8th 0.7 seconds. The boy is a freak and dangerously averaged close to 54km/hr.
The lineside line he takes through the rock garden at the top and then the next corner is insane.

Commentary is a crack up with Cedric Gracia.

Apparently the French are alledging that he has been inhaling helium before his run to help his float over the rocks. There could well be something to these claims.

He is amazing, a freak. I can only imagine being that good at riding a mountain bike.
