No I am worried. Don't leave. Your wisdom might come in handy when it's time to wipe my ass.

ummmmmm
Holy crap, hopefully he's ok.ummmmmm
Who dat?
Possibly broken ankle. He rode his bike down the mountain.
Nicholias rugoyten or something like that? Never heard of him, saw it on my face space feed. Caption said he finished his run
Rising slope star. Really good tricks but not as experienced big mountain. At least I didn't see him much outside of slope comps. He does have some mean tricks though.
How comes this thread isn't sticky yet?
holy crap. much respect for rogatkin. he looked punchdrunk when he got off the bike at the end though . . .

Hopefully. A lot of riders had solid runs, but the level is so high now, it's unreal.
Tyler McCaul knocked himself out during afternoon practice and won't ride today. Anyone else drop out? Stikman saying there may only be one round of finals runs if the weather doesn't hold off.
Can't believe Rogatkin got up from that fall and still hit the canyon gap.

HUGE Bummer.
The phenomenal amount of skill needed notwithstanding it's a little sad to think some of these guys are going to end up like Muhammad Ali at Atlanta, broken, shambling wrecks all so a little more over-caffenaited lolly water can be sold. At least tell me they've set-up a future fund to look after these blokes when they require around the clock care.
It looked like he hit the landing a little too far to the inside of the turn and high-sided over right into and then over the catch berm.
Not to say some of these guys won't end up in a vegetable garden, but I'd bet most of these guys take less hard shots than the average college football player, amateur boxer/MMF fighter, and there's no real long term safety net for those guys either (financial or otherwise). Given the magnitude of the moves they're hitting now, I'm more concerned about a catastrophic, lights out type of wreck.
This is a surprisingly coherent and serious post from Jackalope.
Mods, can we bump up mental acuity to 2%?
True enough but if you're good enough at those sports there is eventually financial compensation commensurate with the risk. I wonder if any of the riders at RR walk away minted, even though they're all at the top of the game.
soooo, I'm getting an audio feed but no video. anyone else getting video?
Broadcast hasn't started in the red bull tv app in my smart tv yet... The counter says ~15 mins to start.
12:30 start time, so not yet
here too, but from the "live audio" riders were riding.
solid so far. I was hoping McGarry was going to double that drop that McCaul crashed.
Antoine Bizet, damn.
Imagine, he sticks the double flip...

i really thought he had it, in the slowmo it looks like his front end was a little crookedAntoine Bizet, damn.

Yeah, looked like he broke his arm, judging by how he held it. Or a seperated shoulder.
Cam Zink, just wow.
holy crap! nicely done.
