RB media player is shit

I use to think the same mate with an out dated computer. But ever since i've had a new laptop i havn't had a freeze or anything. The latest flash drive seems to be the key for a great picture in HD and no shit streaming

I'll tell you what I hate most about that RedBull player: Whenever you start a video, they don't hide the cursor! What's up with that?
Apart from that: Amazing coverage, loved the pre-race interviews they did!

On a not unrelated note, I have a question for the PB community: 50 Euros/GBP/USD/Whatever for a season pass which would include a lag-free, 60 fps live stream, with some couple more goodies on the side for all the UCI DH MB WC races of the season - would you guys put that kind of money down? For me the stream went down 5 times during the mens final, I know I'd definitely pay to see an uninterrupted event... Just curious what you guys think about it.

I didn't have any lag even without the pass, and would never spend that much on an upgrade of that sort. Must be your internet by the way.

All these riders crashing hard in the rockgarden ... How many of them do wear a back protection ...? UCI should make it compulsory. Otherway gwin lost more than 5 seconds with his crash..!

ka-brap (Apr 10, 2016 at 4:16)

I believe according to French rules, all racers must wear back protection & gloves.

tiagomano FL (Apr 10, 2016 at 4:27)

in france i think that all of them are using because french federation demands it now, how many of them are using cartboard instead i don't know

maxmiddelhauve (Apr 10, 2016 at 4:39)

When racing the IXS German Downhill Cup, they won't let you train or race without back and chest protection, Fullface Helmet, Goggle, knee pads, elbow pads, and long gloves and they want / recommend all the riders to wear neck braces.

StanMarsh (Apr 10, 2016 at 7:38)

aka "you must own at least $2000 worth of safety equipment before you are allowed to pay to enter our race"

jdb06 (Apr 10, 2016 at 8:12)

@StanMarsh: 2000 dollars or a 10000 dollar medical bill. hmmmmm

StanMarsh (Apr 10, 2016 at 8:38)

@jdb06: medical bill? you ride without health insurance? Thats wayyy more irresponsible than riding without gloves

jdb06 (Apr 10, 2016 at 8:45)

@StanMarsh: ok you got me there lolol but i do have health insurance, now. After i broke my pinky and looked at the bill hahah. heres a better one:
2000 dollars or broken bones/sitting in a hospital bed for a few months with NO RIDING

I ride with knee pads and whenever my friends fall and hit their knee i just laugh because i can fall and laugh and have fun with pads on while they just ruin their ride

jdb06 (Apr 10, 2016 at 8:45)

when they fall

StanMarsh (Apr 10, 2016 at 9:04)

@jdb06: ya true. I guess my point is that we all know the risk so we should have the freedom to choose. Everyone already wears full face and knee pads for DH now, and injuries will always be part of the sport regardless of how much gear is worn. If people push for more rules every time theres an injury where does it end? When someone is wearing all the gear and still gets hurt will they ask for speed limits and tamer trails?

ka-brap (Apr 10, 2016 at 11:29)

@StanMarsh: while that's all good, the problem is the litigious nature of modern societies. When one broken neck can shut down a resort (and has), the event's insurance companies step in and basically make sure people are wearing the right protection. Until people start taking responsibility for their own freedom to choose, you will have these rules.

We'll we've got obummercare..just wait until ur hurt then sign up...preferably after u quit ur job too. Just gta be sure to thank a neighbor for good karma

Blablablup123 FL (Apr 10, 2016 at 16:27)

@StanMarsh:
that is such a rubbish argument. "More safety measure for F1 cars? Where does it end? Speed limits after Jules Bianchi`s crash?"
