The Fort William World Cup has been and gone once more. Greg Minnaar made history with his 17th ever world cup win, Rachel Atherton turned it around having qualified 37 seconds off the pace, and as usual, a lot of stoked fans did a lot of strange things.
It’s no secret that one of the best parts of the Fort Bill downhill is the madness that goes on in the crowd. From costumes and accessories to instruments and actions, there are no rules – well, maybe a few – that leave you constrained on race weekend, and the camera phones in the crowd captured a lot of the chaos…
