I wasn't too impressed with her until after the interview and the full face went on. Then it was like huckin flyin madness. She would definitely kick my ass. Not to mention that was a solid crash.

Me neither. And obviously PB also got confused by the poor start of the video as they put it in Monday videos, day later realizing it is own page worthy video.
Filmmaker(s) should take note, because the second part was one of the best filming I've seen in a while, but some people would missed it because of the poor start. On the interview I almost decided it is not worthy watching it and then... bang!

The first half was perfect, she was all smiles :-D and then shaking off that crash like it was nothing. What an introduction, your 2015 Franziska is going to be a good one!

It made the screws in my collarbone plate creak a little. Nasty.

Good spirits and good riding! That was a legit crash that would end the day for many riders. Great job getting back on and charging it!

Yeah her riding after the interview changed the whole impression drastically. Ride on Franzi!

It's like her riding came to life. She was so strong and relaxed in the DH. To me she looked almost like a WC level pro. On the trail she looked tentative and tight. Like two different riders. If she brought that DH flow and focus to enduro, she be doing even better there.

Really enjoyed both sections. Proper chilled out spin in some great scenery before getting up to race pace. And that crash is still making me wince!

I was thinking the exact same thing, this video should only be the second half.

Where is this filmed? Guessing Italy, cause I haven't seen much of that kind of riding here in south Germany.
