I enjoy all of WYNTV, but the awkward moments are always the best parts...Greg clearly trying to shut the interview down politely and Wyn saying great year...priceless!
I appreciate the GOAT's honesty. He and Gwin aren't about to do some BS about how happy they are so and so did well and its time to celebrate yada yada.
@Rubberelli: Yeah, for sure. The reason they are great racers and they put in all the work is because they care about winning. It would be dishonest for them to claim they were happy with anything but a win.
Still doesn´t surprises me Maes said he had so few riding compared to EWS... Being a pro DH rider must be loads of pressure, seems more ego than fun, cause yes they have loads of media attention and they look so cool on the bikes... but the kit I think is that in fact they envy enduro riders cause they are having so much fun and quality riding. Just look at Danny Hard... he has to go 2 weeks to Whistler to ride his bike just to HAVE FUN... I am the only one surprised? I think we all idealized the life of a pro DH rider...
Good work Wyn. Always entertaining. What is the deal with RedBulltv and the replays. They are absolutely impossible to find. PinkBike used to post a link but that is gone as well. Not just on the Worlds but the last couple rounds. making it real hard to enjoy the footage.
I couldn't watch the replay till about 12 hours after the race. I stayed off social media and everything that might tell me the result, but saw it on redbull tv when I was looking for the replay. Redbull tv, pinkbike sort your s'**t out, it shouldn't be that hard.
The RedBull site is so annoying to find anything. I recently wrote a scraper to check the site regularly and grab the links to new videos and post them to me in Slack.
It needs a bit of work though as it got a bit spammy (I think Redbull constantly change things!) and it was only written for the World Cup races.
If you go to RedBullTV then click 'live events', then 'past events' you shouldn't get any spoilers. Even then it can be hard to find certain replays but the World Champs replay is the first thing that shows up on the 'live events' page right now.
I think it's because of the 4:30:00 length that makes the replay so slow. The WCs are split between men and women and even the men's broadcast is only like 90 min.
@geuben: The Redbull tv PS4 app is so much worse as well. It has the same crap navigation but it autoplays some garbage you aren't interested in when you open it which keeps playing in the background taking up bandwidth while it loads each menu for literally a full minute only for you to find it wasn't the right menu in the first place.
@Patrick9-32: Roku app is the same. The worst thing is you have to memorize which direction to press to get the menu (down) or to disappear (up), which is counterintuitive since the menu appears on the left. If you hit the wrong direction you'll load something else for three minutes or leave the live event you were watching.
What a rad community of cyclists. Full on professionals, party animals, and shredders. They seem to have more good things to say about other people than themselves. Salute til next year!
Don't understand why downhill guys talk so much smack on Enduro. Enduro is a whole other beast that requires different skills. Some stages are harder than some downhill courses. They should try racing ews first. I would like to see a lot more cross competing. Rude in dh. Gwinn in Enduro etc
If I were you I'd be crying knowing how close I was to getting that once in a lifetime opportunity of getting a free custom trek!! Props to you though, I finished 6000 something hahaha
7:05 Dude in the tight polo shirt with hard nipples - "When he joined the team he was quite american but we've made him quite English now..." - the rider next to him starts with a smile but then quickly morphs into a shifty eye'd panic like "WTF are you talking about?!"
I don't think Tahnee heard Wyn paraphrase that she wants to be a better athlete, a "Better vibrator" instead of "better bike rider"... watch at 5:15.... gotta love how he comes up with that sleight of hand wordsmithing on the fly.
