30 Second-ish Bike Checks - EWS Rotorua 2017 - Video

 money doesn't fall from the sky, it comes from sponsors. Enjoy Just the Tip and 30 Second Bike Checks? Got to endure some product placement.

 Idiocracy did it first.

 YT top and a hat is hardly whoring

 Politicians should do the same thing.

 @YoKev - check out "It's Crankworx baby" by Matt Denison. He makes a great fun of the trend and Tippie himself without doing the man any dishonor.

Oh well... you got negpropped for thinking, no worries, they are just affraid you can get ahead of them. What else could you expect from people who care to use propping system.

 @WAKIdesigns: don't try and be th anti white knight dude, love how we always just assume they're wearing what they're wearing for sponsors sake, we don't know what about tippies wardrobe

 @Theeeeo: I think it has to do with the fan club that people like Tippie, Wyn or Ratboy never asked for... it's just the media exposure that created a picture that some can't help themselves to worship, instead of looking through it. Tippie himself is a gift to the sport, the fact that we see him often is super cool, but this "oh it's Tippie, you must get stoked or f*ck off" is just blatantly idiotic. Stoked/aggressive people should do themselves a good long wank, smoke some weed, take psychodelics, whatever floats their boat as long as they relax instead of pretending they are chilled while they only wait who can they kick in the face for not digging their stoke.

 @WAKIdesigns: yes I agree. I feel the same happens strongly in slope style competitions. For me it just annoys me when we, as an audience just chose to assume why pros do what they do. One thing we do know is like any other pro he just ultimately wants to ride his bike

 @Theeeeo: they surely want to ride the bike most. But who wouldn't like some applause for what he/she does? Go tell a good joke, see the whole room laughing and tell me it doesn't make you feel good about yourself? Go ride with a few noobs and. And then if you have a company and can't ride well yourself, you toss your products on someone who does it exceptionally well. Would you do it just to get a moving commercial sign? No, I bet no, some sponsor good riders out of the pure passion for the sport, because they admire athletes and want them to excell even more.

There's difference between total narcissism and liking to be in the spot, but some fkrs just see it as one and the same thing expecting absolute unconditional humility. Same with sponsorships. Yes, you do want money return for their investment, but that is not the one and only motivation. Ultimately these athletes need to focus on riding and everything that bikes their riding better, if they are to come out of such developed pack. So they will do promos for their sponsors, why the hell not? And some twats see it as something bad... fk them. Some do take over the edge (like I think Peaty does - stone me nooow) but in most cases, watch your own fkng wardrobe.

 @WAKIdesigns: of course, I understand that. Maybe I just don't really see it with tippie because towards the end of last season I was lucky enough to ride with him on a regular in the end.
And I do watch my wardrobe! For the most I wear unbranded street clothes, with the odd BMX hoodie lols. What do you mean by take over the edge?

 Nothing wrong with repping stuff you're stoked on, although it's a little odd being a PB segment that it isn't a PB shirt.
