Giant rider Duncan Riffle is here for his 7th World Championship appearance (twice as a junior and five times as a Pro). Duncan is a 2 time US National Champion and this is also his 7th time at Mont. Saint Anne and he loves this track and how burly it is. Tippie and he talk about line choice and getting here to the World Champs.
Duncan is most likely collared, Tippie has the mic. when someone sits down you run the wire under their shirt and pin it on their collar. If you are interviewing it's good to have something in your hands, it stops you using your hands too much when you talk which can be distracting for the viewer. Also the handheld is probably better quality. Seeing as Larock is editing these and commented above, I'd take his word for it.
I rode Tunnel Trail today in Santa Barbra...the knarliest 4 mile gravity fed rock gardan ive ever rode...im sure Duncan has shreded that one plenty of times...i respect anyone who grew up riding that beast!
Duncan doesn't speek in the microphone though.
You guys are quick to laugh at someone! You would better think a little before you write something here.
I agree the microphone is not useful, I think Tippie just wants to have one.
