PS3 or PS4 App works fine and are mega cheap/affordable.v disappointed with redballs recently. They discontinued my smart TV app. Now I can't live stream the race while "paying attention" to my kids. I'd have to have my phone out the entire time, or buy one of the three devices they still support. Looks like I'm done watching races this season
)
this. I tried the app on my smart tv a few times, but it sucked donkey's balls. To be honest, I think it has more to do with my smart TV's wireless connection than the app, but I always just plugged my laptop into my TV with an HDMI cable, and never had issues.
Does your TV have an internet browser? The app on mine also disappeared, but I can just use the browser to go to the Redbull TV site.
Yeah it does but it's shitty you can no longer use the app on samsung smart tv. Why do I need to buy something only to watch the worldcups. It's not like the app works great on other devices.PS3 or PS4 App works fine and are mega cheap/affordable.
MonsterEnergy Supercross game is awesome too (for the kidz obvz
It's here because it has been here for a long time. It's basically the super old rationalization called "tradition". I'd rather we go back to Maribor or Schladming but in the end what matters is who wants to pay to host a WC race.
"We're keeping it in the calendar at least until Minnaar retires"
My (old) AppleTV is 100% stand-alone. No need for another device at all. Maybe the newer versions are different?
Because they submitted a hosting bid (and corresponding required pile of money) and it was accepted by the UCI.
Yeah, Isak crushed it on a Canfield last year. I guess getting a deal based on your successes creates compromises on which bike you have to now ride...
You’re right, it is standalone, as long as you are using an app that is on the device.
Oh.. If you haven't played it a PS3/4 is worth the money for "The Last of us" alone. Hands down the best console game ever created in my view.
Hmmm... Could be that... or...
Yeah that's a good argument. Gary do you know why they are not going for a completely new track? Maybe something shorter but steeper? The fans go there because of the atmosphere and the venue not because of the track anyway.
Because building an all new track is a shitload of work? And subsequently expensive?
issue solved, sort of. whew.
The entire first 3/4mile of track is built upon a peat bog that's covered in snow throughout the winter. it never dries enough to sustain anything other than a manmade track. hence the boardwalk and all those rocks. A new track would still have to be a manmade one and more than likely have to be made with similar materials.
UK fans are crazy for it TBF. Most of which know fuck all about DH. I wouldn't go near the place during the WC anymore.
Where did you read/hear about it? I thought he'd punctured, not crashed.
Dean Lucas had a nasty crash...
Yeah I understand the upper part. I have no issue with it but why not cut the motorway, make it steeper even if it means the finishline isn't exactly next to the lift? You can still have some big jumps for the people who think unicycles are cool.
I blame overly stiff rims. During the good old days of crazy lines and less straightline speed most of the riders were using soft rims since that meant less flats and now everyone uses super stiff carbon rims and guess what happens...
How would that stop broken chains? Crankshaft is the answer.
Or EBikes with motors in tubes leading to no air in tubes leading to no pinch flats. See? I just solved biking.
The best reason I've ever imagined for owning an e-bike is the ability to run an air-compressor off the motor.
hahaha
FFS at least take a look at a map of the track before leaving the bongshed to type your master plan. How the fuck do you suggest making the flat portion at the BASE of a mountain STEEPER?
He was ~mid 40's in the overall rankings last year and probably would have ranked in the 30's had he raced the final WC last year....
that, or a boost chain standard
lots of brits on a small island without any real mountains wanna see a world cup race every year
82 of which happen to be in Scotland. a country with a population of 5m
FFS at least take a course in reading comprehension Gary. I know they didn't have shit like that in XV century but you can easily take them online in 2018. I didn't suggest making the flat portion at the base of the mountain steeper. I simply suggested making the final part of the track shorter. For some reasons the only solutions you see is the opposite of what I saw so either digging underground or ending the course higher. What I say is end it at the same level as the finish line, just not in the same place so you get the same level change over a shorter distance therefore the track is steeper. I also never suggested erasing the motorway completely. I have said that the jumps are important and some of them should be on the new variant (there goes that course I was talking about) so the track would still be spectator friendly. This is why I asked you nicely ( I know it's a foreign concept in medieval Britain) if you know of any area where the finish could be moved since looking at the map there are some fire roads so I was asking you if it's possible to put it there without much issue but apparently making the track better is not important, we better not change anything (why I am I surprised this is your answer) since as long as the average joe spectators are happy we should be happy too. It's better to try to improve the old way with Scottish bogs that trip 3/4 of the riders.hahaha
Changing the finish area to anywhere further up the hill would mean extremely poor access, a completely disjointed pit area and the riders would still need to pedal down the motorway and through the original finish arena to get back on the lift anyway.
The finish area is actually pretty unique and watching riders whip the tissot (or whoever pays for thir name on that jump) into the finish arena does actually build suspense for the crowd waiting at the finish. Most of those 30000 spectators will never cleanly jump tables the size of the motorway jumps so when they walk by them they are mightily impressed seeing the top riders in the world making them look easy.
Your master plan is a sure way to reduce spectator numbers from 30000 to around 300 and removing Ft William from the WC series scedule for good. i'll give you that.
