DH17MTB

I NEED to know the name of the song for the Gouranga section. I've tried soundhounding it, I've tried searching the lyric samples.... No luck. Who's my saviour?!?

@SixxerBikes: I'm saying that in the engineering world no one relies on the actual threads for accurate positioning of a cylinder. I'm talking about a taper that is separate from the threads, like the spindle on every mill made in the last 100 years.

@Jordanh604: Not really feasible for each rider to ride 4-5 lines, considering their build crews spend a WEEK on their own line to get it how they want it.

@SixxerBikes: I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not... ... do you know what a thread guiding taper is?

@aharms: not-so-fun fact - ESPN doesn't give a damn about the event or the riders except to the extent that they all constitute a collective cash cow for their broadcast. If a rider was seriously injured or died during the event, I'd bet my bank account that the following year they'd advertise it as "a literal life or death struggle against the elements!" not adding that the fight against the elements is a direct result of their greed and incompetence in drawing out the event as long as possible for those sweet, sweet advertising dollars. Between the inexplicably terrible judging, the painfully bland/generic commentating, the over-the-top filler material (where the graphic designer was probably paid more than any rider!), and the fact that this all contributed to a 4 hour event where the riders didn't even get their 2nd run.... This RBR was a total joke. I REALLY hope that there are some scathing conversations being had between the riders, Redbull, and ESPN. I'd be overjoyed to see the riders all boycott the official event next year and do it their way. They could EASILY negotiate an outside company to run the event without all of this bs attached.

Cam is a terrible commentator as well! It was telling when they brought in Rogatkin to say a few words and they acknowledged that in 30 seconds he was better than their entire broadcast. No hate for Cam or his riding, he's just NOT a good talking head. Pairing him with Sal was painful. +1 for Rogatkin and Ryan Radriguez as RBR commentators going forward.

Shhhh don't give them any ideas!

Cam is a legendary rider, but holy smokes his commentary is soooo terrible. Contradicting himself multiple times within the span of 20 seconds, all just to keep talking and filling the painful silence of a terribly broadcast race with zero cameras between the start gate and 3min down the track. Snoooooze. Crankworx should just drop the DH portion and focus on what they do best. Judging by how many riders were on enduro bikes and how pedal-y this track was, it's an enduro track at best.

The video coverage of this race was terrible. Zero cameras in the first 3min of the track save the start gate camera. This track was an enduro track at best. Judging by how many of the top riders were on trail or enduro bikes, this is obvious. Bummer of a "DH" track, and camera crew planning really dropped the ball.
