Video: Brett Rheeder's Crankworx Les 2 Alpes Winning Run

 gopros are better

 I'm buying one simply because I know if Sony had a POV contest, they wouldn't f*ck everyone over just to get free promotional footage.

The footage is easier to work with in editing as well! No weird video formats!

 If you think Sony is the tech goodguy, you haven't been paying attention to history.

 jaurl's got you on that one townes. $ony absolutely would fvck anyone over just to get anything they want. Absolutely! They're no better than the Detroit Big 3 in the car industry or the Big 3 $'s in this one ($hitmano, $CAM & $pecial-ed). Crooked as crooked gets.

 Eh, that was ten years ago and who cares about CDs? Ancient technology.

 I care about ethical business practices and avoid companies that don't care about the consumer.

 In all likelihood that's probably just Youtube being a shitty video player for HD video. I rarely ever get videos to buffer in 1080p on youtube even though I always set it to that quality.

 Brett you $100 dude wins the triple crown.

 Il have to get a ticket to go watch

 come on guys, les be more serious here

 it would be quite the trek for you to get to the next round

 I forget who it was but someone also front flipped the skinny.

 Tom van steenbergen front flipped it and did a full fun but came out so low in the 50s or 60s I think. He was underscored

 I think a lot of athletes were underscored, especially steezebergerns and genovese's run

 you gotta be in the posse to get high scores, there's money on the line and in-crowd looks after their own in professional mountain biking

 Notice how effortless that was. Rheeder is dialed.

 Messere also can front a flat drop.

 Didn't he case the second to last jump? I just assumed he didn't have enough speed to do his trick on the final stepdown. Anyway, he was already guaranteed a 2nd place finish so he needed a perfect run to beat Brett. He slipped his pedal and lost; I really don't see why it's a big deal that he didn't ride the last jump.

Having said that, he didn't have to act so butthurt afterwards. I think we all have "that" friend who always takes things too seriously and gets too competitive, and gets pissed when he doesn't win.

 He did case it, and I realize that. In my opinion he had enough speed, or could have walked back up and got enough speed to finish the track though. Look at Logan Peat, who biffed it royally (in style i might add) and smiled and finished out the track. As a fan I just would have liked to see him finish it out. Thanks for agreeing that he acted butthurt lol. I can only imagine the pressure that he felt at the time though. Oh well...in a perfect world right?

 I really want to know why this complaint keeps being brought up. You ever mess up on a dirt jump line or a Freeride trail and just pull off? I do it all the time. It wouldn't have benefitted him at all to hit the last jump when he already knew he missed his combos, sketched the bottom half of the course and cased the prior jump. When I'm completely missing a line like that I always pull off. Often times when I don't and I'm on a roll with missed landings/tricks/cases I'll just go down. Not saying semenuk would go down but I seriously don't see anything wrong with him pulling off on that last jump, it seriously shouldn't be bothering people so much. It's not a bike show its a competition, he knew he didn't have that run in the bag and every viewer knew it too. I've never held anyone to being a "poor sport" because they didn't finish a line, everyone does it. He had a wobbly run, those guys arent getting paid to entertain.

 And I don't understand why people keep getting so animated about this topic. Maybe Semenuk has fans. I happen to be one of them. I love this sport like some people love football. I get into it. Am I allowed to have an opinion? It is televised not only for the athlete's competition but for our entertainment as well. I think any one of us can have any opinion about it. I completely understand why it keeps coming up and I'm sorry it bothers you. People are going to get emotional about it. We love the sport, we love the competition, we love mountain biking.

 I understand you have an opinion, and I think you're a fucking dumbass. Just kidding.

 Totally agree with that

 Funny enough Sony, who make some of the best sensors, actually makes the sensor in the GoPro. I too, think that the GoPro footage looks better, so it must be down to the lens, probably combined with some preconceived bias that the GP is better. Time for a blind taste-test!

 That's awesome. I didn't know it was a redbull live stream, you can skip directly to each riders run as well. Too good. Thanks man.

 He is so smooth it does a disservice to the difficulty of the tricks he pulls off
