This, is, SERIOUSLY, THE WORST DH COVERAGE I HAVE EVER WATCHED!! The most boring sections of the course, announced by the most boring announcers. I've watched more commercials than racing. I'm going to go ride my bike. Tell me who won later.
I'd take Brad over that Tristan cat any day. I don't think he stumbled over once sentence without using the word "there". His folks must have some serious pull there with the producers of this shit show here for him to still have a job there.
How can they not get better commentators?! That guy Brad is f*cking awful. He starts all his coverage with that "Ahhhhhh yeah!" crap. He ruins Crankworks every year.
Brad Jay is a consummate pro at what he does, even if you don't like it. Not a fan of the other guy. They actually just talked about sausages the whole of Keegan Wright's run, which was a 'banger' if you will, at 1:4:20. So poor.
Thought @bigheaddoug was probably exaggerating with his comment.........NOPE, worst DH coverage ever. This is the Crankworx DH at the mtb mecca of Whistler BC, the end of the 5 day epicness.... it should be BALLS OUT WILD!..... IN FUTURE, MAKE IT SO!
A whole sunday of mountain biking. First Crankworx now DH. I imagine my day is going to be like those guys who sit around all day and just watch the NFL all day.
It's interesting I would imagine the majority of people that watch nfl don't play football much, while the rest of us are probably pretty serious riders, just an observation...
Pretty poor coverage of the track how can they not show hecklers rock thats an awesome section up there. Is it because WB dont want the rowdiness to be seen and make them look bad?
Sorry for that. She may be Canadian, not sure, but how do you pass up a shot out to Casey at that moment? She's doing alright though, along with some of the other commentators who are not pros. It's gotta be hard not to screw up during a live broadcast.
seriously.... have these guys never watched a world cup and the energy put into it? At least find someone who either has/can fake an interest in the sport. Cam is a great announcer for Slopestyle, get older DH racers to do the DH
Lol guys....chill these people put up an amazing event, they tryed new stuff, it failed... ok next time its gonna be better
For me I am really thank full for this event, even tho I am gonna be late for work, being a lazy joe when my.bike is broke I really looked forward to this and I am gonna look forward for next year... I mean, its not only a good excuse to cone late for work but its also good for mountain bikers like guys, did you see how many people where there ? And how much money the riders get ? They live on a low budget, yes living the dream isnt living big... its living to go big and after a season go home to come back even bigger They deserve this kind of atention.
I agree, they shouldve shown more of the gnar but the second split of the steep part was quite interesting... keeping in mind that signal coverage is really important...
With that being sayd I thank the whole Crankworx team for this big event
Nope, they have been screwing up the DH race coverage for years now at this event and everyone complains. And they dont change it. I'd love to watch the racing, but the announcers are actually to frustrating to listen too. Just the fact i know they're talking and ruining it when its muted still ruins it
Congrats to the winners! Great riding...I literally muted the commentators and enjoyed it much more. They don't speak of relevant things like Cunny and Claudio. Also in that note, it's ok for a commentator to mix in some silence. If there's nothing relevant to say...shut the trap or they'll find someone new.
I would have rather watched Macduff + Tippie play checkers than suffer bad TV angles, lots of commercials and non race talk. Perhaps Red Bull can get into the Crankworkx DH too next year!
Just watched the last bit of each race. Hate the sexist banter of the commentator about Brosnan's girlfriend. 'Little woman friend' etc., as if she is not a person in her own right, just exists to be the possession of the racerman. No wonder my daughters shy away from PB. Any chance of treating women as full human beings?
Crankworx is awesome... sex is awesome. No man can handle day after day of non-stop sex or Crankworx coverage. That is all Pinkbike. Let me know when the posts stop being about CW....
