thed!fference well if you have to do power lifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics, cardio exercises, running, swimming, biking, etc. some things won’t be perfect. I would like to see you do some of the things these people do.
I could not stop laughing. Watching the girls trying to get over the logs at the beginning, the commentator who talked about “almost 27 gears”, and the girl who lost time to fix her leggings! Not to mention the guy who took 2nd place but didn’t know how to shift😂
The competition begins with the women’s heat one 2:49 The winner of that heat is Tia-Clair Toomey her time (23:06.31) Heat two for the women starts at 1:18:20 and the winner of that heat and the winner for the women’s part of the event is Kristin Holte with the time of 21:43.23 Heat one for the men begins at 44:30 and the winner of heat one is Bjorgvin Karl Gwomundsson (20:27.01) Men’s heat two starts at 1:55:34 the winner of that heat and the winner of the whole event for the men’s part is Ricky Garard with the time of 19:26.72
Amazingly, there aren't cyclists here acting like douchebags saying a pro cyclist would whoop their ass...so why do people say this about the weightlifting segments.
This really isn't what I'd call cyclocross, something is missing... I mean I don't mind watching tough guys riding in the grass but I expected it to be a little bit more... chaotic
Letooouriste I know cyclocross is steep muddy climbs you can barely get up and slippery corners and people riding the sand pits and then your bike gets so bogged up by the end and you’ll be going through the pits every half lap and muddy downhills. This is crap
those arent even cyclocross bikes, these are mountainbikes and not even good ones. In my opinion they should stick to crossfit things and not embarras themselfs by putting in events nobody in this hole competition has any clue about.
Even tho I’m 14 and not the best at deadlifting and all the other events but I’d love to join just to bunny hop these small obstacles (and when I say small they are 😂) and just destroy everyone Plus these commentators know fuck all about cyclocross or mountain biking
Grown to love Crossfit, but this is the cringe the sport can bring to people to down crossfit. Obvious these athletes don't know how to ride bikes they aren't sprinting; don't recommend riding through damp grass constantly sitting on the bike. And those wipe outs on some measly logs, come on! Thats so basic, like going up and off a curb if you know how to ride a bike! Not only that, these bikes are very wide in handle bars, pretty low in seat to handle bar ratio, ugh! Its just bad. I know they wanted to switch it up, and I was excited when they announced bikes into the games. But once I saw in Road To The Games and Sara Sigmundsdottir didnt know how to ride a bike, I just felt it was going to be cringe. This really needs to be heavily altered to continue for this years Games, or just remove it, please.
Naomi Hedger98 dude they have so many skills and tasks that they have to do that they can’t execute every single thing flawlessly. Cut them some slack they aren’t pro cyclists they literally had no time to prepare for this
Two Jokers Cards nobody said pro cyclist. She's right I learned to ride onto and off of curbs when I was a kid. The same with riding though fields full of ruts etc for those that grew up in an area that's rural. Those are very basic bike riding skills. I just wonder where did they grow up riding a bike is something essential for regular kids. You don't forget either I don't ride often but a curb or wet grass won't send me over the handle bars.
I thought the event was well done for a first try at something new to CFG that showcases fitness without being just a test of who is the best at working out. I'd prefer to see this rather than who can get 4.5 miles on an assault bike the fastest. The bikes themselves were a compromise between what will work for the event and what someone with no cycle racing experience will be able to learn and do somewhat well with.
1:28: "That looks and sounds like a crossfitter's spine during a deadlift. Anyways, no one wants to see cyclocross, especially on this easy mode track they built. You want to see pain and suffering, so here you go."
@@nadinehope5568 Nah, not really. As long as they'd ride straight tarmac, it'd be quite true. On curvy grassy track, all the technique comes into play - saves energy, makes you go faster, etc... E.g. 1:04:08 - guy sat down in his saddle on curve, just to make it slower and make his body absorb more vibrations... some of them ride with saddle really low - more lost energy... etc, etc...
What's the point of the sandtrap if you don't even cycle through it?? This is a pretty lame event in CrossFit terms, I'm hella unfit and I could do better just because I rode my bike a lot as a kid...
What a waste of bikes. Shoulda given them walmart carnage for what theyre doing to them. Or taught the competitors how to ride before throwing them in an offroad course.
Am i only one annoyed with commentater telling them what to do over the whole time. You dont have to... You have to... Dont do... Its your line get physical and ram them... And it seems they on speaker so are athletes hear dem...
I enjoy watching these games, l am a Tia-Clair Toomey fan . I just think it is so unfair, to athletes who had problems with their bikes. The announcers could have been a little more emphatic instead of the : dems da breaks attitude, or even so just shut up about it.
I'm glad this event hasn't come back up. If the chain comes off or if there is any kind of mechanical failure, that person suffers greatly on the points. NOT a level playing field or a fair comparison for fitness, balance, or anything else.
I like how 3 minutes in they are explaining what a gear is... must be Americans... I guess they think bikes come in automatic too muahahah Also, if you are going to do mountain biking, do it properly. Get some tree roots in there
@@tylerbass4252 based on the image that Americans use only automatic cars and no bikes (which normally require you to do the gear shifting), therefore the explanation being necessary for this long
This is the shittest thing. Put it on tarmac and let's see some speed in a race. Keep the turns. Get rid of the sand and the jumps and take it off the grass. Such a slow boring watch.
Reporter: Ricky, what made you so good on the bike today?
Garard: Steroids
As a cross racer, this makes me want to commit toaster bath.
1:26:28 ( to 1:26:59 ) the commentator's accidental confession got me laughing here.
26:00 is good too
I guess it makes sense Ricky is good at cycling
He can really work the PEDalS.
25:58
"She loses pacing adjusting her pants"
Got me laughing right there
who wants to be a chmapion dosnt care about PANTS
I was about to comment on that...
Hey man when you're racing let the buttcheeks hang out
as a cyclist...this hurts.
thed!fference well if you have to do power lifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics, cardio exercises, running, swimming, biking, etc. some things won’t be perfect. I would like to see you do some of the things these people do.
I feel you
Imagine being a weightlifter and watching these losers do a snatch.
looks like they are not familiar with bikes. they dont really change gears...
I could not stop laughing. Watching the girls trying to get over the logs at the beginning, the commentator who talked about “almost 27 gears”, and the girl who lost time to fix her leggings! Not to mention the guy who took 2nd place but didn’t know how to shift😂
Second heats did better by far compared to first heats. Amount of rest between event one and two for the heats may have played a role
The competition begins with the women’s heat one 2:49 The winner of that heat is Tia-Clair Toomey her time (23:06.31) Heat two for the women starts at 1:18:20 and the winner of that heat and the winner for the women’s part of the event is Kristin Holte with the time of 21:43.23
Heat one for the men begins at 44:30 and the winner of heat one is Bjorgvin Karl Gwomundsson (20:27.01) Men’s heat two starts at 1:55:34 the winner of that heat and the winner of the whole event for the men’s part is Ricky Garard with the time of 19:26.72
26:07 ''let the buttcheeks hangout'' - bumper sticker material lol
The frames aren't 27 or 29 inches the wheels are.. ,
Amazingly, there aren't cyclists here acting like douchebags saying a pro cyclist would whoop their ass...so why do people say this about the weightlifting segments.
Mitchell Steindler o would whoop there arses
Top comment.
i'm so glad theyre doing this instead of a stationary bike
2:16:26 oof left him hanging
This really isn't what I'd call cyclocross, something is missing... I mean I don't mind watching tough guys riding in the grass but I expected it to be a little bit more... chaotic

Yeah love some good “riding mountain bikes slowly in flat grassy fields”
27 gears are they running a granny ring and a 9 speed cassette?
that's exactly it - 3x9
those arent even cyclocross bikes, these are mountainbikes and not even good ones. In my opinion they should stick to crossfit things and not embarras themselfs by putting in events nobody in this hole competition has any clue about.
One lap to the mailbox and back has me fallen down to my knees like when they cross the finish line. 😓
Even tho I’m 14 and not the best at deadlifting and all the other events but I’d love to join just to bunny hop these small obstacles (and when I say small they are 😂) and just destroy everyone
Plus these commentators know fuck all about cyclocross or mountain biking
It sounds like the commentators are on loud speakers and the athletes can hear them. Wouldnt that distract them
Gilbert Jaimes no its like that in a real cx race as well you don’t think about the speaker because your in so much pain
26:02 hahahaha. Let those butt cheeks come out.....🤣😂
June Llantada commentator clearly needed his crack fix

The commentators are wrong. Sitting down is the play when racing cx.
DevaJones03 I mean you don’t need to be a pro to just RUclips some basics once it’s announced.
Is this a fails video?
Those bikes are far too big for those women.
Yes, should be renamed (poor) BikeFit.
What kind of bikes are they riding
1:28: "That looks and sounds like a crossfitter's spine during a deadlift. Anyways, no one wants to see cyclocross, especially on this easy mode track they built. You want to see pain and suffering, so here you go."
finally the one thing i can crush these ppl in. they got nothing on me idc how much you snatch
Kevin Shinnock same here they clearly know nothing about cx the leaders aren’t even riding the sand pit and it’s not even muddy so boring
Big outfit with big bucks can't handle the sound end? WTF!
My eyes bleed, seeing how much they can't ride bikes :D
opridilol can you snatch 160lbs at least?
What you mean they can’t ride bikes, you get on the thing and you peddle.Right?
@@alan181090 well, actually I do. Why asking?

aaron ortega thank u
All I came for bro, thank you.
Ty
Much love, all i came for bro
Am i only one annoyed with commentater telling them what to do over the whole time.
You dont have to...
You have to...
Dont do...
Its your line get physical and ram them...
And it seems they on speaker so are athletes hear dem...
Nils Lauterfeld also the advice is completely incorrect....
For me it was that guy with the bell
I know Cody Mooney he comes to my gym
Hate watching this again 2023 and see garade killing it, knowing he is cheating

More Shitfit absurdity. This one reminds me of some Japanese outdoor game shows. Next I'm gonna watch Galapagos giant turtles mating.
Awesome race! WOW!
have you never ridden a bike a two yr old can ride better than this
It's not called "cyclecross"
I like how 3 minutes in they are explaining what a gear is... must be Americans... I guess they think bikes come in automatic too muahahah
Also, if you are going to do mountain biking, do it properly. Get some tree roots in there
philliphamilton2 “must be Americans” what does that mean lol we aren’t stupid
philliphamilton2 they do make automatic bikes btw. They weren't designed by an American either.
Tree roots what about big muddy climbs and steep rocky descents
@@tylerbass4252 based on the image that Americans use only automatic cars and no bikes (which normally require you to do the gear shifting), therefore the explanation being necessary for this long
we're not the best at anything so...watch us do a bunch of stuff marginally ok
Which makes them experts at CrossFit. Could you do all of these things as marginally okay as they do?
Tia
Helmets. Why!? No helmets while running, why you would need one cycling on the grass?
lol FITTEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD! ... but can't lift the front wheel of a bike off the ground.
so your fitness level is based on whether you can do a wheelie? lol
Ça fait du muscle et aucune dextérité pour sauter un obstacle à vélo
This is the shittest thing. Put it on tarmac and let's see some speed in a race. Keep the turns. Get rid of the sand and the jumps and take it off the grass. Such a slow boring watch.
This really was a waste of an event... like everyone else is saying these bikes aren’t meant for what they’re putting them through
briggs didnt like it =]
1:59:18 Joey!
those logs are really stoopid
Who play music on 32:32?
What the fuck is a gear peg
lol 'cyclocross'
Hahhaha This is a joke! Crossfit game’s commentary is awful and this event is like watching a group of kids on bikes!
Gotta say y'all can pretend to be average at everything but all I see are mediocre bikers, gonna go back to a real sport -_-
A 5K on a bike in 20 min. not very fit. can run it faster. not a sport. hilarious
*7.3 km
