THIN LIZZY!! https://youtu.be/IL6xaX33gLM?si=bPUY3n3Y8v6LpWtT&t=289 That steep hillside riding was really impressive!

@blanshard16: I think I found the video in question: https://youtu.be/piWBVDh1pTE

It's a Christmas miracle that Levy is back to talk about 32" UFOs!

We all learned a wee bit of Scotspeak today! Threw me for a loop as well. They have some fun words and phrases up there. My guess is their differences speaking English is primarily to irritate the English.

Uhhhgh, is that a 34"?!

Not YT.

See this hat, t'was my cat...

The cast of Oceans 11.

E-Enduro is like racing for Rascal scooters. It could be fun, but I have zero interest in watching. I don't think it should get the prime time spot.

Trying to figured out why some athletes get picked up, and others passed has been a puzzler to me. My best guess is RedBull wants to hire billboards which present as clean cut, premium, and top level in whatever their discipline. Bruni, Gwin, Goldstone, they're all clean and present carefully to preserve their public persona as top shelf. I enjoy BK as he's more salt of the earth and speaks off the sleeve. Also goes public on issues which may be controversial and offers his opinion. Him and the Pivot crew have good times with cheap cars/mopeds, get rowdy, and crack jokes. I'm not sure RedBull wants people who speak their honest opinions which may not always be positive. eg the Semi-finals, BK was out front on calling them crap, I noticed Bruni and a few others were far more neutral in the early days, but eventually jumped on the bandwagon once consensus was clearer that nobody likes them. Merely speculating. It seems like RB wants clean-cut hype people who are either very likeable or so top of the sport it overrides faults. BK might be too publicly honest for RB.
