 Don't bother watching. They only showed around 1min30sec of every run. Waist of time just wait for the highlights

 Yep. I wanted to like as much as anybody, but all the interesting bits were cut. I know it's hard to run cameras down the hill in to the rough spots, guys, but if we want mountain biking to thrive as spectator sport, people have to see the awesome shit these guys are doing.

 Yep, sorry to say I put myself through it watching the live coverage last night, I really do appreciate these events are brought to us for free, but is that honestly the best they could manage? If they can afford to have a chopper giving us aerial shots from about 2 miles away why can't we have cameras in the woods.
At one point the commentators were saying there were about 4 guys outside the booth with chainsaws,at that point I started believing perhaps there is a God, but no,they continued to spout their shit for the rest of the race. Talk about an opportunity missed.

 @metaam: i could put up with those two idiots if the coverage was good but bad coverage and bad commentating... Only good thing about it was I had beer

 As @mikeyspaff said, camera coverage was seriously lacking, similar to the Air DH, pretty disappointing. Shows start, then time warp, then shows finish. We want to see the riding, not just the times!

 Totally dud coverage. Why even bother? 30sec of out of the gate pedal cut to 30sec finish line sprint. GG miss all the actually mountain biking parts.

 Crankworx, please improve your coverage of these events or at least set up in the gnarly sections of the course.

 I personally would happily trade those three presenters (and all of their meaningless blather) for a bunch more camera's on downhill run. Does Hannah Bernard know or have anything to do with mountain biking?

 At least she's easy on the eye, those other 2 twats have absolutely nothing going for them.

 what a waste of helicopter time

 And to think, they could have put the commentators in it,then ejected them from a great height.

 That was an awesome coverage of bike park trees from that helicopter,what a joke....

 Why spend all that money on a helicopter when you could have five or six camera's on the track?

 Worst commentators ever. Wanted to see Loic's run, got nothing but two morons flapping their yaps.

 Last years coverage was ALOT better.

 Was it just me or was the crowd not even cheering at the finish? Never mind the two idiots talking, but there didn't even seem to be any atmosphere. Almost fell asleep...

 I'll never complain about the Redbull coverage again ... Canadian Open DH was not worth watching!

 They rolled into hecklers rock in tandem, abandoned the race, and distributed most of the 18 packs they had each duct taped to their bodies. Hilarious and awesome, but not much of a race run

 @spoochypants:

so that's why ed rolled up half way through the race. i was curious about his (awesome) presence on the rock!

 All this video shows is the beginning and the end all while hearing these two clowns try to sound interesting. Surely, Crankworx can do better than this.
