Be the change they say…
Just sad, they are killing the EWS.
There were practice photo epics, a lot of videos and some articles about the fantasy league in past years to build up the hype for the enduro race. Now it's pretty much nothing apart from the vlogs of Moi Moi and so on
Things may improve once the complexity of being in charge of all of mountain biking is worked out. And we, as humans, need to be supportive of that process. Or not and shout and spit at the Witches.
We went to a couple local events and even raced a few enduros as well, but also watched zero EWS races. We did watch every DH race for the last 5 years and have traveled in and out of the country as spectators. Already booked for WV.
TBH, Enduro is as about as interesting to us as XC is.
drives me nuts, but maybe I should chill out
It is definitely harder to offer complete coverage when you have multi World Cup weekends and tight schedules but we will definitely look to see if we can add more coverage for the next round.
Dont give the negative comments another thought, ignore the haters they say!
The nonsense that we seem to complain about is truly mind blowing to me sometimes.
Its essentially free entertainment, but we are so entitled, we will find a way to complain about it....and every other damn thing.
I'm trying to find the sarcasm font, so everyone can pick up on it
The cold hard facts are, to most kids, Enduro is far more accessible than dh. This should have been part of the Discovery calculation.
ESPN literally puts more effort into covering cornhole.
EDR killed Enduro, bacause Chris got money from DH and gives a sh*t about anduro. Why would he try to make Enduro better when he can spoil the DH instead?
Maybe, just maybe, there were things going on that were out of PB's control, and they were getting the info of changes in time to make things come together. Maybe the person(s) covering the story/providing the info got held up. Maybe Outside is putting resources elsewhere, budgets are shifting, etc.
Nah, better to whinge and moan about how you did it better in high school, you know, when you had little to no responsibility, and your parents were still wiping yer arse.
Youd only be complaining about the poor editing, or crappy camera resolution, or the fact that there wasnt photos, or videos, or write ups. I dont believe for a second that you, and others wouldnt find something to bitch and moan about. Hell its proven, by all the bitching and moaning about the lack of coverage.
I do unfortunately get a little annoyed by people whinging about their entitlement. Thats my fault really, and I prolly shouldnt worry about it, or I should find a more diplomatic way of presenting my argument. People dont like to hear that they are a$$hats, and I still struggle with that.
Always trying to learn and grow as a person i suppose...
I'm of the belief that theres always a better mouse trap, and ways to get better.
What grinds my gears, so to speak, is the f*ckin whinging and complaining about the available, free to us content being provided.
Theres people behind these decisions, sometimes they get it right, sometimes it gets frigged up. It happens to all of us, but 99% of us arent under the public scrutiny of a bunch of blowhard keyboard pirates that offer up nothing but complaints, and do little to nothing else about it.
I urge all "the haters" to get going them selves, build, produce, and maintain a website, provide the coverage, and I'll tune in to support you, otherwise, get facked
Turn the type of riding every does week-in week-out and make it a pro sport with ex-downhillers doing it. Genius.
They dont need it now they are focused on trying to make us all ride bikes with engines.
He posted the pov on his insta
How about cameras at key sections, racer interviews post stage, speed traps, a virtual course that would show us how racers stack up, go pro mount footage, analysis on the difficult thr climb...
A million things none better than any other but a malange of things.
Man
And it's the exact same thing on the downhill side!
its a disgrace. Gutting to say the least. Trust / integrity / transparency / innovation are not in the playbook. That iz all...The end. Can you imagine if this was happening to even a low or mid tier roadie race series? It'd be pitchforks at dawn.
With a background in motorcycle enduros I’ve found anything ‘enduro’ tends to be a lot better for the riders than the spectators.
The issues tend to stem from the fact the ‘enduro’ events cover a lot more ground than closed course competitions, which for MTB is xc racing or dh, and as a result it’s harder for spectators and media to get out and see the good stuff.
Even with some of the high profile hard enduro motorcycle events such as Erzberg and Romaniacs you’re not seeing most of the course and at these events the timings and data coming in sometimes goes wrong, and there is considerably more money spent organising these events than a cycling enduro event.
If they can I think the mtb enduros need to go back to doing there own thing and not try and fit in with the DH and XC events which I think will always overshadow them, but I don’t think this will happen as with all the mtb disciplines it’s about someone somewhere making money and the current formats is how they think they can make it.
@bashhard: would like to see a "just for fun" downhill race with legends such as Peat, Barel, Vouilloz, Chausson.... and Gracia as I prefer him on a track rather than behind a microphone
I think the criticism of Ed and PB’s coverage is a bit harsh. Looking around my usual sources of Mtb media this weekend PB easily has the most coverage of the EDR. I use Bike Radar, Bike Rumour, Singletracks, Singletrack World, wideopen, MBR, off-road.cc, all sorts, and the only ones with any EDR coverage right now are PB and Vital. Even enduro-Mtb.com doesn’t cover the racing.
That suggests EDR is just not popular enough for them to put time and money into. It seems riding enduro bikes is popular enough to generate pages, but watching people racing enduro bikes is not.
You can probably guess why i ask.
But I imagine the organisers would have been reluctant to go through the footage, if it existed, for a number of reasons not least the up roar if certain riders were found to have cut the course and were DQ’d and then the fact riders might start to refuse to wear the cameras.
I found the June PB article but not much on why GT did it.
French riders seem to be doing well so far (only saw SP1 results), look forward to see race footages, etc.
