Replay: Best Trick - Crankworx Les Gets 2016

 Bulding all this course ... So much $$$$$ for "nothing" ...

 just call it Slopstyle and get on with it!

 @timwestwood: wasn't very wet track was drier than it has been all week

 @Conanangus: yup... was stood by the step up.... looked dry for sure

 @timwestwood: yeh, was at the top of the course and before it was announced that it was cancelled there was several calls for the riders to go to the top of the course I think the riders had something to do with it

 I guess its the double crown of crankworx now

 @timwestwood: I was able to walk the course after the best trick challenge and it was absolutely fine. All jumps were wooden ramps so no issues there and all the landings had been covered by tarps to avoid the rain damaging them. None of the course jumps were in a worse state than the final jump they ran the contest on. The info I was able to gather by asking a few bike wrenches from different teams is that: A Due to the weather, training time was limited and it was hard to get dialed, B Some riders disliked the course and were finding it hard to generate enough speed to barely clear the jumps making it hard for them to launch tricks except on the last jump that everybody liked. Combination of both meant this would be a risky contest so they limited the contest to the jump everyone liked and could boost on.

 @RedBurn: "& your chicks for free"

 @railin: I see what you did there

 ya that is his Dopplemeyer

 Brett Rheeder and Nicholi Rogatkin had a kid !

 @QuebecPoulin: Chu un fan des ces jokes là. Y'a rien ni personne de sacré...!

 Yannick graniery has a better angle on his facebook too

 he sounds awesome!!

 Course must not have been maintained or looked after during the rain. It isn't even raining at the moment, so the course must be torn to shreds.

 @nutelladonut: the course is absolutely fine

 @Conanangus: bad course conditions and lack of practice is the reason... so obviously some of the athletes were not happy about the course conditions.

 Now a 15 minute delay...is that good news if it's not another 30 minute delay? ????

 @zblakey8: Next delay might be 7.5 minutes. Then 3.75 minutes. Then 1.875 minutes. Slowly, the delay will tend towards zero minutes, but never actually reach zero as the time converges into a infinitesimal value. The delay will then be permanent, and the event will never run again.

 @Joebro1995:

Been delayed again till 11:00 uk time

 @Joebro1995: it's 4am here, looks like I'll just catch the next diamond event lol

 @wellbastardfast: Damn. I guess the weather gods are telling me I should study for my calculus exam, instead of staring at a timer.

 @Joebro1995: not true, its geometric series which is convergent and has finite sum. it would actualy take 26 minutes if first delay is 15 min.

 i wish they would set a longer time push back rather than loads of little ones. 15 mins i'm like. 'may as well wait here' then it does another 15 mins. 'ffs i could have been doing something else.

 @Joebro1995: corection it would take 30 min.

 It's been cancelled.

 @DnBjackob: Actually
∞ n
∑ (30)(1/2)
n=0

converges to a/(1-r)
30/(1/2)=60. The delays will take 1 hour total

 @jts429: yep, but your first delay is 30 min. , mine is 15.

 so go ride...

 @ad15: can't now got other plans. Maybe I can get out this evening for a bit

 @mikeyspaff: thanks about whining to the internet about your day's plans

 @beast-from-the-east: thanks for whining about me whining to the internet

 Mate, accept defeat, take the "L" and move on.

 @mikeyspaff: I care so much about your plans for the day. You're a hero.

 @mikeyspaff So what ARE you going to do today? Whats a ruined day look like?

 weather looks bad

 cancelled completely

 And then the delays start...

 @rrsport: 30mins ain't that bad

 @rrsport: I eat my own words. Another 15min...... *insert tears*

 lol. 1am start.... nope

 here you go: www.fmbworldtour.com/en/News/Crankworx-Les-Gets-Rider-Lineup.html

 @aldago: Sweet! thanks

 semenuk is there!!!!!! Wish he sends the whip to whip

 @RedBurn: Its stylish because it was so unexpected... I highly doubt it would score well in a slopestyle contest though

 @RedBurn: maybe in a victory run, but i don't see it scoring high enough in a normal run

 Guys, could come in a place where normally a "simple" tailwhip would come... Of the whale tail for example !!

 it's too much of a hard trick compared to how much it would score. he will just do safe tricks that he knows will score good. he doesn't know how much the 'whip to tailwhip' scores. He is smart when it comes to competitions.

 welcome to rainworks

 and there it goes...

 m.webcam-hd.com/lesgets/les_gets_centre-village

 move it to snow summit, calif

 the problem was the weather not the place

 @Bear74: but its a place with a history of being super wet and rainy this time of year, I believe it was even stated in a article earlier this week on here, so it kinda is the place in a way.

 Censored

 @Bear74: the problem is .....................

wake up. crankworx has bombed 4 years in a row now in france.

bad organization, poor execution, little to no crowds, shall i continue?..............

good luck next year i guess.

time to move it to bigbear/snow summit.

weather and demographics are spot on for snow summit. imagine the crowds/vendors and party scene in so cal............

 Wow, I get downvoted for making a suggestion. The place may not be the problem, it has awesome tracks alright but the weather ruins it all. I agree with @stacykohut , move it somewhere where it is better and more crowds.

 @fatfingur: tough and fickle crowd these forums!
