because its easy to judge speed while sitting at home on your ass........ I can assure you it is not torturous to take part in, riders of all abilities mixing it together and all having a good laugh.
The fit ones can pedal like fook to get through bottle neck and up climb. Then the ones with lesser skill hold the ones with more skill up that aren't so fit... Lot of weekend warriors that don't race as it's more a social fun 2 day event... Not knocking it at all just the way it is just a fun event.
99% of the POV stuff around is either painfully boring or so far beyond anything that a mere mortal rider can relate to. This ride looks super fun and Rob is hilarious. I actually think they should have mass start DH/enduro races ala Mega Avalanche more often. Every rider for themselves mano y mano. This is great stuff that makes you wanna ride.
Now that is my kind of event! is there anything like that here in the States? Because if not, than we need one. And we could have a special English division called the " f*cking Wanker Class" , so at least someone will be yelling "f*ck!! sorry!!". that was truly awesome.
yup we did this straight away! Recalled watching his POV earlier recalling how warp speed like it felt. Rob's levels up from the guys he was overtaking. then Gee was another level up again.
@BDKR: yeah but Gee managed to get second. I'm sure he's faster than a lot of people but i would expect some people just didn't want to risk the overtakes.
I love how the comment section is being censored for saying fuck, fucking or anything fuck-related whereas the main article is dripping of fuck, fucking and fuck-related chat. Fuck yeah!
That's a race? Joke. If your going to have a mass start it needs to be long enough to do something about making places. That was infuriating. And what was the point of the first half? Walking!? For how long who knows! Dumb. Least the multiple line choice points looked fun.
I don't think it is to be considered a race... i'ts more of a chance for the average joe to have a fun run and socialize with a real pro and cool people after.
Its a shame about the bottleneck, if your in top 40 or so its not a problem, its only a short climb if you at front then it starts down again. If your fit you can get to it without any skill then you hold those with the skill on the descents. Its more off a fun thing apart from the top guys. theres seeding runs on the dh bit that allow top ones to get best start slots.
not a race - Foxhunt - the point of it is to beat Gee Atherton down and not get overtaken by him, the rest is just a bonus .. its .. for .. fun .. so just smile and enjoy
@stacykohut: As who says? Two random people on pinkbike in the comment section? Yep, they speak for the majority eh ha ha. Just ignore the vast majority of comments being about how everyone likes him.... These two commenter above me, they are the ones who truly know!
Also, someone crying about it needing a 'nsfw' warning..... Are you a child? Do you know who Rob Warner is? Clearly not as otherwise you'd have known it will contain swearing.
@mgolder: frankly,couldnt care less about mr warner or his cursing.i was commenting on crap edit..start,stop,ff,start,stop,bored...hold on we're moving again..yaaawwwwnnnn.
@Earthmotherfu: I wasn't talking to you at any point in this though, so not sure why you have replied to me about it. I couldn't care less about how shit the edit is that redbull put out, my issue was with the guy saying he was 'running amok' as if a super serious event had just been stampeded by a herd of buffalo or something.
@mgolder: Who cares who R.W. is ! The whole Friggen thing was staged so Warner would start with video rolling to capture the riders with Win as their agenda. Which point ,He acts clueless where the hell He was going, knowing first hand where the track actually was. Then with the aid of His popularity; commenced to trample on the riders who realized they weren't their to win but to participate and place better than their own level of riders and not get run off the track by a former WC Downhiller trying to make himself look that much better .
@likeittacky: You typed two words and managed to make two mistakes. I think that invalidates anything you were trying to say. Also, that kind of comment really does just show you have no actual argument of points to say so you resort to nonsense instead.
Classic Rob

The fact most of the riders even cheer him on should tell you that you are just way off base with the very very vast majority.
Yeah . . . . 'muppet'.
So, no, not a moot point at all. Try understanding what things mean before you say them.
Oh, and six mistakes in your last comment as well.
But yeah, calling me a 'wanker' is so hurtful . . . Oh no, however will I go on . . .
