Windham proved to be one of the most exciting races of the season so far, at least as far as carnage and upset is concerned.

Crash into Seb's windup of Windham here...

Good summary of the race… some of the crashes made me wince… a couple I couldn't even watch on replay.

Aaron Gwinn is the most boring man in the world. He is literally making one of the things i enjoy most - doing and watching - dull.

Nice job, Seb. Maybe we should issue a shirt for the racers that says "hey Murphy, screw you right back!" Great race action this weekend at the races. Hope Tracy's [cough] stomach is ok.

Something that didn't show up in the broadcast was the result of Jill Kintner's crash off-camera during the race. She ended up breaking her arm. Heal up Jill!

I’m starting to wonder when the first truly awful crash with dire consequences is going to happen at these races.

Johnny Waddell's crash at Mont Sainte Anne in 2003?

Great write up. "hiding behind the couch" - vivid image. Most exciting WC this year. Good points about that finish line booter and the women's class. Some of the men were even coming up short on that one… I think it was quite clear at this race, that Gwin is having to really work hard and is riding on the edge to win. He barely kept it together on that run. Peatty's Plunge almost took him out. Good work by Stevie Smith. Those top guys all could have been on the top step. More to be revealed. 3 of the top 6 men were on my Dirt Fantasy DH team. Wildwood Racing is dominating the "Chug Beer Yo" league. Suckers!
