Wyn's interviews bring out something that's special about the WC downhill competitors: They're fans of each other, they respect each other, they're thrilled when one of their competitors does something memorable. Look how many guys mentioned the runs of Dapréla and Goldstone. Sure, they all want to win, but they are all quick to give praise to the riders they hope to beat. It's a unique, small community. It's easy to root for just about every one of them.
@suspended-flesh: That's true and part of what makes the sport amazing. I hope that continues... I have a feeling the fact that they barely make a living salary has something to do with it.
I was really hoping the girl from Discovery was going to interview him. After her "she said f*cking" moment with Vali she would've gone into full meltdown if he'd got on the mike.
@transitter: someone needs to have a word in their ears, its not big or clever and totally unprofessional, lucky for them they aren’t on a real payroll
@jimmythehat: Oh, loosen up the knickers. It's downhill, many riders swear, Rachel dropped many F-bombs in her time. It's actually quite funny seing the tv people's reaction to that xD
The respect between Jackson and Jordan is great to see. Not only have they blown the stats apart for juniors going into elites in the modern era, but with Jackson in the leaders jersey how long before people start talking about the overall?
@nvranka: Pinkers in the comment section of course. Armchair analysts, commentators, connoisseurs, and all-round specialists in your subject of choice.
i would love to see Wyn calling the play by play in a pay per view arena his knowledge and personality are "cracking" and it's something we are in need of......at least people like me who miss Rob, Cam and others like Tippy who give us the goods in a North American tone. Now he has some down time I would gladly shell out whatever he demands and paired with another dirt star could be something nice to hear from the riders who are down but not out having changeover of injured riders who have incredible input and vybes.
So funny when Ronan rides by Eddie or Stagsy and screaming profanities.
