Bode Miller 12/5/09 Downhill

[Rambo]

Bode put down an exciting run. What a recovery from 50 to 53 seconds into his run:

That IMHO was a top 3 Bode recovery of all time, and that says a lot! There's so many things that he does on skis that I'm convinced nobody in the world can do, and likely nobody in the future would be able to do either. He's someone you want to watch because you just never know when you're going to see the next one from him!

Here is a still photo of the near wipeout:

Here are a few more photos.
Nice turns for a high speed downhill race:

Awesome pics and vid, Rambo. Thanks for pointing that stuff out.

Getting thrown like that would KILL most of us, but Bode recovered!

Who could hold that carve position at slow speeds, let alone at 3 or 4 G's? And he "isn't in shape yet"!

I cant find it right now, but anyone remember when he pretty much did a wallride at 70mph against the safety fence?

This footage of Bode's recovery at the 2006 (Olympics Super G) is amazing how he was able to stay upright:

Here is the short verzion, more like 80mph plus, and he ended up in 2nd place:

I wonder what his speed was at that moment? Just amazing.

Wow! America's Got Talent. This is how you turn a DSQ into 4th place.

Unbelievable collection. Say what you want about him, but what a talent.

He killed it---watched it yesterday on the tube

Let's not forget about WF's own homegrown Andrew Weibrecht---think he was 11th in the DH and I believe was the top American in the overall.
