6:13 am PDT
Racing is now underway at Red Bull Hardline with Vinny T up first on the wild course.
He has insight, knows the riders and the tech and is really concise and eloquent.
Shame he has to race the World Cups he'd be so good commentating on them!
first - Big shout out to all the riders - you killed it!! so inspiring to watch every single one of you! well done!!
second - thank you red bull. I was watching the olympics and was almost in a coma - you have saved my life!!!
third - the commentary. Rob and the team did a fantastic job. insightful, knowledgeable and interesting. You have put the BBC and ITV to shame.
fourth - the cameras. wow. The drone footage, camera angles and quality of image were unbelievable. What is it gonna be like in an other 5 years?? you smashed it and put the main stream broad caters to shame - no question!!
Kudos to every single one of you!
Qualifying could just be the fact these guys are so skilled and capable of making it down in one piece!
24 racing one run isn’t that bad. It was a great watch live.
Brilliant lead up over the last few days and bonkers watching people actually race, let alone ride, that mental ass track. Top draw cameras and on point commentary from Reece and co host Rob
For all the shit Red Bull get for WC coverage, they knocked this one out the park.
Brage run was just awesome, like a bulldozer coming through, he is the people's champ!
Cant help but feel if Joe had stayed up right he would have demolished kerrs time, but gotta finish first!
Qually, just get rid of it, everyone in the final is the way forward!
Really enjoyed watching that
BV absolutely destroyed the top part of the track but didn't seem to have the finesse to carry that same speed on the lower half that was a "more traditional" DH course. Still crazy that he can compete with these guys when he's not really even dedicating himself to racing this year.
Everything that makes MTB great!!!
Kade won style.
Brage won amplitude.
Scoring like this would be a fun addition, even if just from us (inside +) spectators.
