Wonder who the poor basdrat was that got given the job of cleaning those rocks with a toothbrush before they got put into the rockpit. They look like the cleanest rocks i've ever seen.
Stoked for sam hope he can put together an awesome run on sunday and scare a few more of the big names.
So not only is he again going the no gloves now he rides a seeding run with his watch on and not to mention the sleevles skinsuit hah! He has to be the next sam hill with style statements like that.

I don't get it why Dh'ers at the worlds aren't wearing gloves.
are they that concerned about saving weight?

good qualifying by all the kiwis but these results don't mean that much, still heaps of practise left, and apparrently alot of people were just cruising down.(including Sam Hill)

 When does the race day order get locked down? Is Hill trying to get an early run come Sunday?

I think the rain in Scotland takes care of that. Although there is some mighty fine looking blue sky in one of those shots, the weather must have turned it on...
Love the whole 'Sunday afternoon ride' look with the watch, lack of gloves and no shirt sleeves let alone armor. Added motivation to stay on the bike perhaps? As if you'd need any... Or perhaps recognition that slamming on this course with the rocks you are going to be nailed no matter what.

i wont be a weight saving thing. i used gloves ever since i started riding then 1 day i did a run without some and it fell more comfortable like i had more control over my bike or something maybe its the same for them
