They could make it free to watch again. That would make it 1000x better.
It’s a fair comment. Roles are often Host and then “ talent / colour “ and the talent gives the details, hosts as it’s says runs the show and can hype it up and do splits.
I can mind when it was trendy to say Jared Graves had a MTB background 😂, keep up the good work guys!
Can you do a discussion on the impact to companies that send riders to these races and they don't make it onto the largest platform on the internet because the organizers of the event have decided to milk the potential viewer of the race, for which the companies have invested greatly to create? It's a betrayal of the concept. We fund the riders so they can be seen on our products and the organizer provides unlimited exsposure. There is a clear violation when the organizer deems the product his own
i would say the drone shot from 500 feet in the air is unnecessary.
First off, how to view if you don't know how and where? Its hillarious 😂 In my country the UCI websites states "RUclips and Eurosport" and both are no option in reality. Second, bring back Rob Warner. They simply ruined whatching the sport for most of us.
Get Netflix on board - like they did with the Tour de France. DH could be a much bigger sport than it is.
That would be unreal !!!
It’s like Matt jones. He’s one of the biggest RUclipsrs who went to hardline and he was one of the slowest riders. Fans sometimes don’t always the fastest but the most entertaining, they want to see their RUclipsr get into the final.
By actually showing the full weekend. We pay for it yet get nothing in return anymore. Absolute scam.
The finals coverage at leogsng was pretty good though 👀
I hope this title is a rhetorical question. We all know the answer. Rob Warner and Red Bull. But seriously, add some depth and length to the runs and commentary. It just seems so cursory now.
the broadcast isn't bad... It was unfortunate not to see Tahnee's entire winning run from the Women's session. Commentary seems too focused on hype, Aaron Gwynn is awesome, would love to hear more from him about the nuances of each riders technique, where they brake, their posture etc Let the other commentator be the hype man calling out the splits. Just my two cents that probably isn't worth even that
BMX background meme is a joke coming from Pinbike’s ‘Academy’ show where one rider was kept on well past where she should have been dropped. The only commentary/reasoning from the judges was ‘she has a bmx background’.
It’s not a compliment
What about the issue that the viewership would have just completely tanked. In Australia and other countries, there is no explanation of how one is to watch now. So, there needs to be better effort to help educate and ease the transition so viewers who want to pay, can. You can't just change this, have no comms to public, no assistance, no pathway. It's a shit show. Then... where is all the grab for money going? I assume not to riders, right? You guys mentioned it. No increase in prize money. All just appears to "spectators" like it's padding a lot of streaming service and UCI execs pockets, and that leaves a very bitter taste and animosity towards the changes. 😢
What would you do about the gap between the women's and the men's when you have 20-30 extra riders in the final that shouldn't be broadcast? Playing the devils advocate, the smaller fields makes the combined women's and men's broadcast more condensed and action packed and more watchable to a broader non-biking audience. You could look at it that today's semi finals is the opportunity for the underdogs to make a statement, and a good result here wins you the price of guaranteed tv time in the final.
Again, these are not necessarily my opinions, just playing devils advocate a bit :)
Could we not use this time for post race analysis of the Women. Then pre show for men’s. Pre record the Hot Seat run and come to air with that. Sets the tone , sets the time to beat. Thoughts ? Run them at 1 min intervals , not much time to fill don’t you think. Just think so many good riders that deserve a final .. least 40-50 riders ?
Last weekend was the best live shooting of a World Cup. I liked the long drone shot. Editing was great. Gwin and Josh were great. No complaints!
Picture quality is terrible from what I see, they don’t cover the entire run, they need Picture in Picture when the next rider starts, the commentators talking over each other although Gwin is awesome at the job. And banning riders from showing their own footage is a joke. Drop the semis
Prize money????🤷♂️🤷♂️ do the riders really compete for money, and that why they compete? The top 15-20 get payed salaries, and don’t need prize money, give it to privateers and small teams…. Or something else 🤷♂️
Simple. Get rid of the ridiculous, awful and completely unwanted semifinals……..total nonsense. Then obviously Warner on the Mike. Not only is he hilarious and massively knowledgable about riders, teams and bikes but he has also raced and lived world cups. In what world is the lame and badly informed current commentary any good, is absolute dross worse than listening to a bloody football match. UCI are just useless, just get rid of them and improve everything overnight.
