I reckon Dan Atherton smiled more in that interview than the last 25 years of interviews I've seen with him combined! He looks like the very proud father of the Hardline, massive kudos to him.
The break from racing, and the prospect of maybe not seeing the World Cups live this year, made me appreciate this event and Redbull in particular a lot. From the constant coverage through the week, the live event that included the women racing for the first time, and Wyn TV, the whole thing was beyond awesome. And don't forget, if you see the police........
WynTV is potentially the best MTB media there is out there. As a rider himself he knows the questions to ask, doesn't take it too seriously and it seems like the riders enjoy chatting for the most part. Thanks and keep it rolling Wyn!
BK needs to pull the stick out of his arse at this point. I get he's competitive and wants to win, but he needs to look at the big picture and realize he is very fortunate to be doing what he loves, and making good money doing it.
Truly, like half the riders said it was one of their favorite weeks ever. A third venue would allow them to make it a mini-series, kind of like how king of slopestyle used to be. Would be awesome to crown kings and queens of hardline. Just need that third venue...
It's funny how warner bros/uci want's an elite only, F1 series but...... Hardline already exists.. but with less elites than the current WC's..... Looking forward to more events to the series!
Nice one guys, love your hard work and dedication. Kudos for the great commentary from Rob Hope, makes it enjoyable even if you can't see/hear much on the mountain.
I've been mesmerized watching the action, coming from some poor bottom-of-the-scale riding in my own back garden today (overgrown weeds and a few ruts) the good stuff, is very good indeed.
Its funny how all the riders are saying "This is what World Cup tracks should be like!"...if all world cup tracks were like this there is no way riders would be able to complete a 7 race season. Half of the field already gets obliterated during the year by injury and thats on normal tracks. If every course was like Hardline I shudder to think of the injury rate. It wouldnt be a viable sport.
