Bradj, mate.... let Mccaul do the commentary when the run is actually happening. Cam couldn't mention the bar spin as Brandon entered the snail berm because you were talking about him having one more feature to go, yet here Brandon is making there two features to go. #hashtagSHUTUP
Sorry mate, got a little to excited there! Do you blame me? It's only The Biggest Slopestyle Competetion of the entire year! I will try to tone it down next time.
It doesn't bother me, but if you don't like it, mute the video, and pump some 2pac. Ya'll think you know mountain biking better than Brad J so why do you need him to tell you what you already know?
Same goes for all of you who get bent on the "His friends call him Norby" comment from Rampage...
Maybe this guy has a fetish for commentary... Just appreciate the run that Semenuk did! Or maybe your a battered husband/wife... or a transgender..hahaha!
I think the guy is ok and does the job. The fact that he missed the barspin in the berm is quiet trivial @nutelladonut. #crybaby However, I'm glad I didnt here the BACK TO BACK! TO BACK! TO BACK! that much this year.
Personally I respect anyone who can talk (almost non stop) about bikes and bikers for two hours plus. It must be a hard job and I bet the haters on here couldn't do any better.
Bradj is the worst commentator ever, they could just use some buttons that makes random sounds, I don't even watch any other CWX events that joyride because it annoys me too much.
@Bradjaymc Don't blame you completely. Unlike a lot of other Pinkbikers, I actually don't mind yours and Tristan Merricks' commentary. However, you guys do repeat a lot of the same lines, such as hashtag this hashtag that. I enjoy it when you're excited about a run, the "Shut the front door" is great. Props to you for replying back and taking on the criticism.
@Bradjaymc Man, your job isn't easy! Everybody who does it will get critism and you shouldn't listen to these haters so much. But I have to admit that we understood that the Whaletail is indeed the last feature of the course But hey, nobody can make a commentary that will statisfy everybody watching!
@nutelladonut, why dont you do the commentary? Lets see how the MTB community will react.. For sure you will do a great job because YOU SOUND LIKE AN EXPERT!!
@Gweggy - I agree, stopped watching all of Crankworx coverage for fear of the irritation from it. Nothing against the guy himself, it just gets on my tits.
@keyboardDHiller I never said I was better than him in any way. I just gave my opinion on the commentary and provided an example. A criticism doesn't mean your better than them, it just let's them now how they can improve. Onwards and upwards for bradj.
I've given Brad shit before for not knowing some of the rider names or remotely close to what they were doing, like two hits called (maybe incorrectly) and the rest of it silence. Now they have Cam doing that portion and Brad doing the more "official" intros and exits, while knowing of the riders more than previously. This is incredibly better broadcasting even from two years ago. The only queasy parts where the weird questions he was forced to ask during the "half time show" and an odd remark here and there during the runs. This is a great combo... lets hope they get to do Rampage as well and be thankful the other Brad isn't still hammered in the coral making the riders feel like their being groped by a weird uncle.
What? Does putting a hash in front of your sentence add gravitas to your argument? Pretty sure if you actually met me, you'd find I'd be pretty well equipped as a commentator. I wouldn't be better than Warner, but then who is!!
@bigal1296 Corked 720 barspin on first double after sram wall, backflip one foot can off cabin drop and tailwhip on toilet bowl. I think that would be worth 97-98
I'm so happy for Brandon but totally gutted for Brett he worked so hard for this and his nerves got him it seems can't wait to see what tricks go down next year
re-watching this months later and all I can think about is Brandon listening to the commentary while he takes a turd, starting with "AND THAT'S BEEN HIS ACHILLES HEEL IN THE PAST BUT NOT TODAY, BRANDON SEMENUK COMIN' OUT WITH A SOLID ONE RIGHT THERE!" and the crowd goes wild...!!
Even with what I said, it's not like I am out there busting those stunts. He is the man. Who cares if he shows excitement. That's pribably what it takes to be so damn good. Does it for him self.
Semenuk is so smooth and so, so good , he makes it look all too easy, almost to the extent of being boring. Not a criticism btw, it's just ragged riding looks gnarlier and more exciting.
just read the comments about the commentating
and some are just not right for example the top one, people should just keep their opinions to themselves
Bradj was great at commentating for the event, he was actually excited and not boring and didnt just repeating the same stuff as every rider came down on their runs
Dude, if everyone kept their opinions to themselves, the world would NEVER change. You decided to write about their opinions, which in fact is your opinion? Is it not? So why not practise what you preach eh?
No hard feelings, but I prefer up front people who say it how it is, than people who keep quiet all the time. They murder people. (But that's just my opinion)
I noticed Brandon didn't trick the jump coming on to the whale tail feature. Could have been a 95 if he tricked that in my opinion.
And people complaining about spoilers should probably just get off the internet or pinkbike and watch it on redbull.tv. But hey, it's all over the newsfeed, twitter and instagram.
hey guys running pink bike, how about no spoilers please? I washed the event, but you pretty much ruined it for the people who didn't get to see it live
