Danny Hart's Fantastic Final Run at The 2011 World Championship



Just recently I saw a video of Danny Hart at the 2011 World Championship in Champery and I would say this is one of the greatest runs in the history of the world championships, I don't see any reason why Sam Hill cannot be dethroned because of  that run. It was totally insane considering the condition of the track. How did he get through that section where he almost slipped only a man possessed with a mountain god can do that.
All hail to new champ Danny Hart
One epic tail whip!

 Before the start of the world championship season Danny or Dirty Dan as he is popularly known has been showing his potential already giving the elite downhill racers a run for their money, although not as popular with the likes of Sam Hill, Steve Peat and Aaron Gwin he is on a class of  his own in the 2011 season. Here's a look of his stats up to his world championship win.

Pietermaritzburg , SA 22nd place, Fort William, SC 2nd place, Leogang , AU 6th place, Mont Saint-Anne CN 4th place, Windham, US 9th place, La Bresse,FR 13th place, Val di Sole, IT 2nd place and Champery SW 1st place and World Champion.

For those who are stating a fan page for Danny Hart her is a brief bio of the champion. He was born in Redcar England on September 20 1991. He rides for Giant Factory Off- Team.

The bike that Danny used on Champery was a Giant Glory frame large size set which a prototype frame, while most riders tend to change their set up time and time again Danny is much concerned on how well the ride will go, he just basically wants to have his bike set up then just leave it. He's been using the same bike with same set up all year. The bike was also fitted with Schwalbe's Dirty Dan mud tires one of the most important aspects on his final run because of the slippery conditions at Champery it is proper to select the most road worthy tire for the job it has a triple compound mix which work very well in these muddy terrain. Another mud-beating feature is the braking system which has neat carbon fibers covers.

No doubt with that epic run at Champery it only shows the mountain biking world what a technically gifted athlete Danny is. He truly deserves the rainbow stripes and seeing him defending them this March in South Africa is another experience worth having.
