Haha the slow, epic build of the music with Tippie's excited ass delivery. I was thinking the same thing lol

ratedgg13 FL (Mar 8, 2016 at 8:26)

Agreed... WTF.

Jimmy0 FL (Mar 8, 2016 at 10:07)

it was like the music in those sad commercials about starving children and puppies at the pound

pigit77 (Mar 8, 2016 at 10:48)

maybe they did it for kelly since he was mentioned in the video....

Because of the music I thought there would be some content about Kelly in the end. Rip McGazza, this year's Crankworx could be your special one, you will be missed deeply.

I thought it was brilliant the calm music and the eager from Tippie made a rather good mix

ADGproductions (Mar 8, 2016 at 13:15)

Agreed. Levels were way too high on the music track and not high enough on the mic.

I like how Tippie moved Anneke Beertens' hair away to look at her chest @-@

KozSlow (Mar 8, 2016 at 10:12)

so psyched to get the stream of Tippie videos going again with crankworx and then the downhill season starting soon!

wonder if there's gonna be a moment of silence before the slope style event for Kelly

music said: my puppy is dead
tippie said: let's have fun!

something not right?

I really hope we get to see Tippie join a Maori Haka at some point during Crankworx - he seems made for that...

El-Warpo (Mar 8, 2016 at 18:10)

Every man should learn how to do a Haka properly. I was there back in January at Te Puia. Did the Haka and shit. It was awesome. Truly. Again, every man should learn how to do one properly at least.

I wish I could ride like Tippie. I wish I had his stoke. I really wish I was him. . .but I'm not. Cue that sad ass music. . .

Rorymick77 (Mar 8, 2016 at 12:22)

I can appreciate the opening ceremony. Its their culture. If anyone hasnt seen the "Hakka" yet. YouTube "nz all blacks hakka". Its like an acceptance to war that their national rugby team does before a match.

bknofx (Mar 8, 2016 at 15:02)

Haka

Rorymick77 (Mar 8, 2016 at 15:05)

My bad. Hakka i do believe is a style of asian food. I was gonna say Chinese food but im not 100% sure on that either lol

Good things about this video. 1. Tippie. 2. Ummm Ok, just Tip.

StackingItSince1991 (Mar 8, 2016 at 10:52)

So good that Tippie is here this year.

Hydro390 (Mar 8, 2016 at 13:49)

I think this might be first time in the last decade that Fabien Barel has been seen with some form of hair on his head!!

Samarius (Mar 8, 2016 at 22:32)

Carson Storch. Respect buddy.

Aidan8721 (Mar 8, 2016 at 8:21)

Loic's Brap was so sad

lets be serious ... this cultural opening thing is kinda ridiculous right ? I mean George Branningan or Sam Blenkinsop don't make a warrior dance before dropping in their race run ...

Terrible call

I'm with joshaimes. Love the culture and welcome to the riders. For those who've traveled, you come to love and appreciate your culture. I'm sure the riders from New Zealand were down with it.

bknofx (Mar 8, 2016 at 15:13)

This was a traditional welcome by the local Maori to their land, they are showing the event and the visitors a lot of respect by doing this.
Are you suggesting the NZ riders dont respect their culture- maybe you should ask Wyn?

This really was a massive disapointment. I mean have they never see the winter or summer olympics. Get a grip!
