Replay: Downhill - Crankworx Cairns 2024

 3rd tier race.

 @casey79: Rob and Eliot still stoked like it's World Champs. Made it almost interesting.

 @BenPea: I guess they were paid to try and make third rate racing sound worthwhile

 Imagine the abuser the PB keyboard warriors would be giving WBO if they had done the same thing.

 @chrismac70: Indeed, I tried to be restrained...

 Last year disco (on the track I watched side by side) actually showed less track WCup track than redbull. (excluding the drone shots which were more often than not of little viewer value. Some of the drone shots of other tracks were great. ). Redbull set up elevated platforms and tripods. Where as disco use non gimbled non tripod hand held cameras which are often out of focus. (and josh cell phone for enduro which was infocus and stable unlike the other cameras)

 Crankworx is always a joke for coverage.

 At least Warner was commentating!

 @Goose76: did you get the tissues out and close your eyes?

 @Joe89: Rotorua had a lot better coverage than this

 @Goose76: On something that looked more like a school sportsday rather than WCDH. He must be embarrassed that he is having to do this

 @Joe89: my tissues are always out when I'm watching DH. I also have a left handed mouse.

 @chrismac70: it's so difficult to please the PB Mob. Bunch of whinging Karen's.

 Another Yeti bites the dust. Rear triangle has snapped, you can see the side impact damage when he picks up the bike to hop back on...

 None of them, the rock win!

 @hifiandmtb: His the rear axle wasn't done up.....

 @AntN: Where did this info come from? Hard to believe such a rookie error from a vet.

 @karatechris: Ok "wasn't done up was" incorrect and the Axle sheered of near the tread...probably weaken by a heavy landing to flat in practice.

 Never use german commentary, unless you want to fall asleep

 As has Martha Gill.

 Imagine what it would have been if the elite turned up. 30+ seconds

 @chrismac70: yeah surely the top 5 girls would put another 5 or 10 ay
