I love what RB media has done for MTB in terms of streaming the events live... but I'm slowly getting driven crazy by the fact I can never watch the replay without seeing who has won first. Even now, I'm still waiting to watch the replay on a screen that has links to the 3 winning runs with the rider's name right there!!! No reason to watch it now. It initially really pissed me off and then I realised I now have 2 hours of extra riding today.

I loaded up the redbull.tv stream in a tab last night before the event and just refreshed the tab and watched it spoiler free today. Be sure to not use the event breakdown when skipping through the video because that displays the riders score...

There’s always a slight delay from when the event ends live and the replay is available

this competition was close to a "last man standing" mode

Hey hey, there it all is with options to go to specific runs and everything. Thank you!

Poor Tommy G, dude was in a lot of pain

donpinpon29 (Mar 24, 2019 at 12:51)

Yeah. And no mention about it. He deserved more attention

sylvesterp3 (Mar 24, 2019 at 19:35)

I love watching this event but I get this feeling every time that the judging is biased and is shit. I watched the first two runs and that feeling is already here... I don't know how the riders put up with this. It's super frustrating at every single Crankworx slopestyle event.

rcrdrvr (Mar 25, 2019 at 17:43)

Did you hear the head judge at the end of the event...Rheeder fan boy...prob used to be a Semenuk fanboy. Even Rheeder tore apart his own run when talking with the McCauls at the end of the event. He prob would have scored his own run at 90 tops - head judge...98 with no bobble...pffff....FANBOYS. Rheeder is a class act still though. I like how he's leaving Rogatkin style to the others while still dialing in his own style...not like he's not dialed but still working....legend...better than Semenuk in my opinion.

sylvesterp3 (Mar 25, 2019 at 18:56)

@rcrdrvr: Did not hear it but ok with Rheeder winning it. His run was amazing. Couldn't believe the tricks and the stylishness. Him and Rogatkin are a class above the rest for sure... but the young ones learn fast!
The judging though... that has to be better. It's super inconsistent and makes no sense so often that I often think that they don't know what they're doing. No one seems to point that out though.

rcrdrvr (Mar 26, 2019 at 6:46)

@sylvesterp3: exactly

whey-dh (Mar 22, 2019 at 13:43)

Has there been a course preview with Tippie?

baybarsyontar (Mar 22, 2019 at 18:48)

i hope lemoine can stand on the podium today.

DigRenno (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:10)

Yes agreed!

jazzawil (Mar 22, 2019 at 21:26)

rheeder looked like he was about to cry everytime the camera looked at him

B650wagon (Mar 26, 2019 at 15:44)

Brett Rheeder so good again! Mad respect for going with Cliffbar helmet rather than Monster or Redbull, way to be a good role model to the kids! Looking forward to more like you in action sports.

BEERandSPOKES (Mar 22, 2019 at 19:24)

Pinkbike and redbull do it again...

gamonoso (Mar 23, 2019 at 12:08)

These guys have a really tough job! And we love then because of that.

NorcoCanuck (Mar 22, 2019 at 18:51)

Does anyone have a YouTube link.?

scruff0372 FL (Mar 22, 2019 at 13:16)

GMT?

sarahmoore FL Editor (Mar 22, 2019 at 13:25)

You don't really want to know

Looks like 2am GMT www.worldtimebuddy.com

NickBosshard (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:14)

@sarahmoore: What's the problem? 3am CET wasn't a problem for me and the rest of Lucas Hupperts fans from here

BCtrailrider (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:53)

Why wasn’t it on YouTube? I wanted to watch it with my family but it wasn’t there

andreyhabibi (Mar 23, 2019 at 0:16)

Where is my reply (((

sylvesterp3 (Mar 24, 2019 at 20:51)

Anthony Messere run vs. Lucas Knopf run... 76 vs. 77.25??? Seriously...

rcrdrvr (Mar 25, 2019 at 17:36)

couldn't agree more...esp with your first comment...fan boy judges

gabekeating (Mar 22, 2019 at 19:55)

dang. i was looking forward to watching this

gabekeating (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:05)

found it on redbulls site just as brett was dropping in. I cant believe he didn't get a higher score.

NickBosshard (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:13)

@gabekeating: They gotta leave room for more and he slipped a pedal. As they said before, the score ist just a tool to order them in a list, not to give a 100% realistic representation of the run.

gabekeating (Mar 22, 2019 at 21:26)

@NickBosshard: I know it. Front flip can though, that jump is huuuge, I stood up out of my seat hands high then the quark 7 bar I yelled ..100!! haha. makes sense when the judge said if he didn't slip a pedal he would have gotten a 98. That I can live with. that whole event was intense. rheeder is insane. sucks about all the guys who didn't get to get yo compete, they all have what it takes.

patrickbatemanworldtour89 (Mar 23, 2019 at 2:42)

@NickBosshard: They need to wait to score because they are not using this tool right. It needs to be a grade on the run, not a bracketing system.

NickBosshard (Mar 23, 2019 at 4:09)

@patrickbatemanworldtour89: But people want a score, not just a ranking. The scores make somewhat sense, but not 100%. It's just very hard to do a perfect run, ther are always little flaws that are accounted for in the score to be able to reward people, If they didn't make them.

Not saying his run was bad, his run was insane, but not perfect to the point that 100 points are justified.

rcrdrvr (Mar 25, 2019 at 17:45)

@NickBosshard: and even Rheeder tore apart his own run after the show...90 would have been better after hearing that.

friendlyfoe (Mar 23, 2019 at 12:21)

How did Lucas Knopf just walk away from that crash!?

chefjoel68 (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:39)

I think riders that misses a combo then throws their run should not be invited back to the next event. Just because they don’t get the dream run doesn’t mean they throw the entire run away and not get on the podium. Seems like a bit if a tantrum, much like why it seems Brandon Semenuk quit competing.

10 0

samsq FL (Mar 22, 2019 at 20:57)

Come on man, have some empathy for the riders. If you make a mistake it screws up your mindset for the rest of the run and that's ok.

rccannondale (Mar 22, 2019 at 21:04)

I agree with samsq. Have a little respect for max. Especially after all that he has gone through to get back into things. You've got to remember the risk that goes into a single run. He broke his humerus last year at this event, I applaud him for sending it so hard on his first run.

What about the rider who competes even though they are injured and don't put in a contest run? They are taking the spot of another rider who could have competed.

stack-attack (Mar 23, 2019 at 9:21)

I thought it was pretty sad to see Diego take a spot from and alternate when he clearly wasn’t in shape to compete

@rccannondale:

This was the worst crankworx slopestyle event I have ever watched. What happened to the good old days?

caltife (Mar 22, 2019 at 21:11)

You mean 2018?

Rheeder's run alone was worth the price of admission dude.

thepwnstar39 (Mar 23, 2019 at 10:29)

Yeah

makes me miss Joyride back when we still had the Mccauls, Zink, Semenuk, and some more greats riding. Been feeling a bit lackluster since then.

dj100procentenduro (Mar 23, 2019 at 14:30)

@thepwnstar39: really not fair to say with all Fedkos, Messeres, Johanssons etc
