That was some of the worst coverage and commentary this year. Crankworx is a huge event and deserves better coverage than what we saw today. Stoked for Sik Mik, nice win after coming off an injury.
I was a bit wary about staying up to watch this after the disaster that was L2A with all the adverts and the shit commentary, by the sounds of it I'm glad i didn't .
Fabien Cousinie from Hutchinson UR coming down with a solid time wearing a jeans, flanny and bow tie to then propose to his girlfriend on the live stream, plus having Sik Mik take the win was awesome to see!
That's bullshit, the proposal and ads made us miss coverage of some riders. I was looking forward to seeing Remy Metailler but I guess watching him wasn't an option.
You got to see the last 30 seconds of a course that was over 4 minutes. I didn't see much air. On a more positive note they did get rid of Brad Jay early.
Is it just me or do all of the commentators suck except for the English dude that seems to know what he's talking about. Why choose commentators based on their voice and how many other "extreme" competitions they've worked? People who watch these events know more than the "talent" on the mics? Ridiculous.
Awesome to see Mike Day round out the top 20!!! Met the dude at a NW Cup race last year. Man is super stoked just to ride and extremely nice! Great job to everyone that raced. Even Travis Pastrana had to get in there this year!!
I find it really crazy how fast these guys are. I remember watching remy metailler's last whistler vid and thinking, "there's noway you could possibly shred whistler faster than that". but no, mick puts f*cking 11 1/2 seconds into his time. mental.
But by the sounds of it, it sounds like I would have just gotten pissed off.
What time does the whip off worlds start for Australian's?
